Good grief, strike up the Benny Hill music; this out to at least be entertaining, just not in a good way.

I thought this was a joke. I wish it was.... barney? Seriously? ?????????

Omg. This can't be for real. If Beck was a serious HC candidate anywhere else he would have been the bowl game coach....I guess that seals his future fate.

In all honesty

There are worse things in the world. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that Barney was picked because he's head coach material - he was picked to keep things from boiling over. He will likely let the assistants take care of 99% of prep and act in his same administrative capacity. He's a damage control pick for one month while other things move forward.

Not really a big deal.
