Something tells me you’ll be the one who bumps it. Unless you prefer to start a new Hurley thread every time they win a game.
If I didn’t bump this one there is little reason to believe I’ll bump it next time.
at that point yes but earlier I was pushing for Herb Sendek who was on his way out at ASU...built a great resume at Nc State earlier but his ASU tenure was just so so with some ncaa appearance but overall slide. Now Herb at Santa Clara for a while but still not making the tourney but compared to calls for Cluess, Masiello and Lonergan, Sendek would have been a lot better.
The late Russ Wood was the first poster on this board to advocate for Steve Pikiell. If bac mentioned him as a candidate im this thread it was because he heard it from Russ Woos.
His first year at Wagner 13-17, next (and last) year 25-6. First year at URI 8-21, last year 26-8. First year at UConn 16-17, this year 35-3. The dude is the best in the business so he definitely would have turned us around and we would be much better if he was hired. Some may say he would have left but he has stayed in the northeast and we are in a power conference and Hobbs seems to pay, even overpay, so I odds are he would have stayed. Too bad.
Best in the business??-- best Is a big word. What's the criteria? Is loyalty, embarrassing antics, or other factors included ?? Does having NIL money count or who you want as a rep of rhe university?
To go where ? Don't think he is cut out for the NBA . The blue blood jobs are not worth the pressure ask Cal and all the Indiana coaches that have been fired. If he was having the success he's having now at St John's they would pay him as well as anyone ( vitamin water).
Yeah guess we are not going to agree on that Hurley is not a guy that wants to move around. Believe it or not he did not even want to leave URI. But he realized he was not going to be able to get done what he wanted to accomplish. Btw Hurley absolutely loves the Big East and credits it with a lot of what he has accomplished. Seriously doubt he would ever have gone to acc.
Does he deserve a doggie biscuit for two whole players slipping through the cracks to Rutgers out the 150 or so D1 players he's coached in the 50 years at St Anthony's?
Just telling you what I was told by someone very close to him. I am a PC fan so you won't catch me saying anything positive about URI. He is not a guy that will be taking a bunch of jobs. Think he will eventually try the nba but will have to wait till he mellows out a little.

do you think he would have stayed at RU if hired.
I don't care what he deserves, the comment was not a single St. Anthony player came before the school closed. That's what's wring w the world now, people say anything and even if it's wrong some fool is just like "yeah, but".
