Get a Grip, Gary

Continuing his meltdown in Boulder, Mr. Barnett stuck yet another foot in his mouth. Abe Lincoln had General McClellan...Coach Barnett has his own ineptness.

In one letter written one week before his Feb. 18 suspension, Barnett said Abraham Lincoln suffered eight election losses, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown before cementing his place in history as president.

"At times like this, I find it inspiring to look back through history and see people that have been knocked down or slipped along their journey and fought back and experienced great triumphs," Barnett wrote.
