Why the love affair with Danny Hurley?

[SkilletHead2]

Greenberg works. Seems like someone you would want/like to play for...Is that grammatically correct?

I would give it a yes (we could talk about using ellipses points in a different post). It's an informal setting and "play for" is a phrase in common parlance. Although I try to avoid ending sentences with prepositions when writing formally, saying, "Seems like someone for whom you would want/like to play," is a bit stilted. Sometimes you have to ignore the formal rules to make your point. "Everybody had a good time," is fine, but "A good time was had by all" is Shakespeare (even if it is in the passive voice).

Cant discount the effect of ESPN. Not hung up on age. Just want a winner. Thought Fridge helped us significantly in football.

1 NCAA in 17 years? That doesn't equate to winner to me. He's on ESPN because he got fired and no one else wanted him.

Seth has been out of coaching awhile and even though a commentator and still close to the game, he shouldn't be one of the top candidates in my opinion
But deserves a little consideration in case the top choices don't want anything to do with being RU's HC..

Seth would not be up to the task of rebuilding this program.

It's basketball not football. Actually his record is pretty darn good. Va Tech fired him after going 16-17. Had a nice run there. Long Beach State two NCAA bids. 25-9 as recent as 2010.

I respect your opinion but disagree. I think Seth is too old and I wasn't impressed by his run at VA Tech. I don't don't think he'd have the energy to do a rebuild

I do agree though that basketball is not such an epic task to rebuild like football.

Attention MDs: B1GNJHoops is about to have a heart attack after reading this by me:
I'd take Danny Hurley over Seth Greenberg , even though I mentioned Seth should be considered.

I think Danny is a good HC, but leery of him being able to succeed making RU a winning program from the disaster it is now before the fans turned on him.
I think give Danny more tools to work with and the program he runs will be good, but without a foundation , don't trust Danny being able to build one this point in his career.

Seth at one time might have been able to build RU into a respectable program, but that time has passed and I doubt he would be able to handle making RU MBB a program on the rise now.

Disclaimer: remember my opinion is comming from someone who thought Freddie would grow into the job after being handed the keys to the kingdom and felt that way till his last year. o_O

Great game for everybody! Williams' best game ever. Daniels went out with a nice game and a very good 2nd half of the season. Hope they can get PSU.
