Wow, mediocrity supporting mediocrity is the recipe for success according to the eels board.......
Of course. 2 negatives make a positive , right?
goes against what a number of "fans" have pontificated about on here

Here comes BAs brother on cue.
100%! as an assistant he was cleary successful, coming from the panthers system. Sometimes a good assistant doesnt not make a good coach. I think it is a smart move to bring new blood in, esp when they have come from a good system.
Anybody would have been a successful assistant at the panthers, Barrett was built up by people like Gould who stated he would be an awesome 1st grade coach, it was all BS.
Barratt has no runs on the board at anything.
What fact? The fact he loves BA??
just pointing out facts frank, everyone was saying it was a management decision, just pointing out that they were wrong, as usual.
can't see where i have supported the appointment or rallied against....but just keep making up shit
