Barnett deserves to go
According to published reports, Colorado has seen enough of football coach Gary Barnett and will not be inviting him back for next season.
The Buffaloes won the Big 12 North title for the fourth time in five years, but lost their last three games by a combined score of 130-22. That included a 70-3 loss to Texas last weekend in the Big 12 championship game.
Why did it take so long to get rid of him? This is the same guy who made rude comments about a female kicker who said a teammate raped her. As if that wasn't bad enough, the program was accused of providing prostitutes to recruits.
All of that generated far more negative publicity than losing three straight games to end the regular season. He should've been shown the door a long time ago.
