Local Hoops "Press" Guys

[AreYouNUTS]

Am I the only one here thinking they don't know shit about what's truly going on right now? It was very easy to write/tweet a lot about Hurley, guess who might be on the short list, and push the Willians story, but I'm thinking in reality they're not getting anything solid and I kinda like it!

Go ahead, rip away!

 

[Scarlet Pride]

They thrive on information and the only source they were getting was Hurley's camp.

 

[trotter]

agree. Hobbs isn't talking. They are getting their info from people who are guessing and from people who are feeding them BS to help certain candidates.

 

[B0ski]

In all honesty, they know jack$hit about what is going on.

 

[bac2therac]

dont know why you are attacking them, Hurley was the top candidate, all he had to do was say yes

 

[SAE96]

Most of their info, sounded like it was leaked by the agents. I doubt they're getting anything from the AD's office.

 

[lester19]

Politi has been pounding the Hurley drum so hard you'd think he was in line for a piece of the salary.

I agree except I think Carino is legit.

"Attacking"?? Don't be so sensitive buddy just speaking the truth. This is just as much about the fact that nothing is really getting out than an attack on anyone.

the truth is he was the top guy they wanted, now they are moving on to something else..stop believing that troll nyctarheel, he has been a troll on the board for years

I'm not "believing" anyone but myself right now BAC.

 

[bac2therac]

you can believe whatever you want

Allegedly. I'm inclined to think otherwise. He was certainly on the list though.

 

[rubaseball78]

Press was spot on with the Al Golden being next football coach.

 

[RU85inFla]

Agree. I'm with Nuts on this one. You don't take the Rhode Island job hoping to stay there forever. You take it hoping for bigger and better. Lots of Hurley setting up his next move with him having a good team coming back. Guess what, the minimum he will make next year is $2.0 million per. Congratulate his agent but don't get upset.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

you can believe whatever you want

Gee thanks!

Not-for-nothing but you are VERY protective of the basketball press but not the same with football.

Yes, we already know this, thanks.

 

[SirScarlet]

agree with Nuts here

bac: you may end up being right that Hurley was the top guy. And if you are, I will say you were/are

however, there have already been a couple of whispers that Hobbs has a bigger plan here...and if we end up with a better coach, will you concede you were incorrect?

really, my point is that rather than panic, why dont we give this a couple of days

then we'll know who was right, and who was wrong

I will say this again: In Hobbs I Trust

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Let's get something clear, btw: I NEVER said that Hurley wasn't "the" top choice, or even "a" top choice, just that any of us could have pushed the Hurley agenda and it's not like this was top-secret info or anything.

Now with THAT being said, as Sir Scarlet points out, maybe Hobbs does have a different plan and I trust him wholeheartedly, after football, as should ALL of our fans.

How do you know he was the top candidate? The only people who said he was the top candidate were people from Hurley's camp and people who were guessing that he was the top candidate.

Hobbs, nor anyone in Hobb's confidential circle, has indicated who is the top candidate.

Stop with the logic.

Agree with this. But if this was his MO, then why dance around with Hobbs this week ? Was it to seed the hiring field for his services after next season if Rhody has a good season in 2016-2017 ?

I honestly think that RU wins by not hiring Dan Hurley. He was the more physically talented player between him and his brother Bobby in college. But Bobby won big time at Duke and Danny was a head case at SHU. Just ask SHU fans how they feel about Danny as a player at the Hall.

 

[Upstream]

Stop with the logic.

Then you aren't going to like this logical deduction either.

Lonergan and Hurley have the same agent. If Hurley were offered the Rutgers job, his agent would know about it. If Hurley were offered the job, it makes no sense for the agent to allow Lonergan to interview for the job (which reportedly happened Monday), unless Lonergan really wanted the job. If Lonergan wasn't really interested in the job, he gains nothing by interviewing for a job that was already offered to someone else. It's not like Lonergan can use the interview to leverage GW for concessions as the job would presumably be filled before GW could react.

Therefore, either Lonergan really wants the job, or the job was never really offered to Hurley.

How would they know? Hobbs isn't telling any reporters, including Round Table mods. And none of the 4 other people from Rutgers who actually know are leaking info either. People who are telling you that Hurley was the top candidate were either getting the information from Hurley's camp, or they were guessing.

 

[RocktheRac]

False

disagree, it wasnt a giant conspiracy theory and Im not saying that Hurley camp was not leaking info to help their cause

and how would you know, yes its nice for RU fans to create a story that says RU wasnt offer Hurley to make themselves feel better..so where is your proof

 

[Upstream]

Not a conspiracy theory at all.

Hobbs knows who his top candidates are. He has shared this with only Barchi, Purcaro, and maybe 2 or 3 other people. All of those people know that they aren't to share or leak that information. It is a new ballgame in the athletic department. Everyone knows that leaks lose their jobs.

So if you have only 5 people who know who the top candidates are, and those 5 people don't tell anyone, how does anyone else know who the top candidates are.

 

[Scarlet16E]

only Hobbs and the pool boy know for sure.

 

[bac2therac]

because the top candidate camp talks, you can believe what you want but I will believe that is was very serious between RU and Hurley the past two days...and Hobbs always had others in mind and thats what they will be focusing on now

 

[Upstream]

because the top candidate camp talks,

That's what, I'm saying. All the information about Hurley either came from Hurley's camp, or were people making guesses.

But Hobbs wouldn't have told Hurley who the other candidates were. And he certainly wouldn't have told Hurley that someone else was the number 1 candidate and Hurley was the number 2 candidate. So there is no way for Hurley to reliably know if he was the top candidate or not.

At best, Hurley's and Lonergan's shared agent would have known they were both candidates and may have known where they ranked in comparison to each other. But if the agent knew that Hurley was the top candidate and would be offered the job, then Lonergan would have never interviewed for the job on Monday.

 

[BKIn118]

I will personally vouch for Jerry. He's tied in to what's going on. There is a certain respect for the process this time that is being honored

Sure he would have. I'm not convinced Lonergan wants this job (like Hurley) but he can start the discussion with Hobbs as he talks to others. He can make $1 million more a year than he does now. That won't change because he's second choice. Don't think Lonergan will take this however.

This.
