Barnett began his teaching and coaching career at his alma mater, North Mesquite High School, in 1997, where he coached football, basketball, track, and taught Spanish. Barnett, then, spent 10 years in Crandall ISD, six as the athletic director and head football coach. At Crandall, Barnett won two district championships and was named district coach of the year twice. Barnett also coached powerlifting and track and field, training many regional qualifiers, state qualifiers, and state champion athletes.

After five years there, Barnett became an assistant director of athletics in Dallas ISD and is now in his sixth year.

He believes that every student should be provided the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities and strives to make it a positive experience for all of them. His goal is to teach life lessons through athletics that help student-athletes grow into mature, responsible young adults.
