Rod Barnes' days at Ole Miss are numbered. Rick Cleveland wrote Barnes' obituary on Thursday in The Clarion-Ledger. The Rebels started 13-3, but they fell to 14-14 with Wednesday night's loss to Vanderbilt. The Rebels are on their way to their fourth consecutive losing season and that won't cut it, even at a school with no basketball tradition like Ole Miss.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mississippian is conducting a poll that asks, "Who should be next Ole Miss official to be fired?" The good news for Barnes is that, so far, he's a distant second to Pete Boone as the guy Rebel fans would most like to throw out of Oxford.
