“ outcoached”

[XLCenterFan]

Ed could outcoach anyone. He’s great.

It’s fine if we don’t agree. You’re the one with a stick up his rear on it. Like you are in every thread on every topic.

For once you're ok with us not agreeing... that's all I need.

Let's see how his record after this year and next season are done. Because for the first 3 seasons (and, some could argue, even last year), we were trotting out the equivalent of JV talent vs. Varsity talent against those teams.

If we are still horrible vs. the cream of the crop BE teams when everything's done at the end of 23-24, then I'll admit we have a coaching problem.

We won't have to wait that long, because if THIS season implodes he will lose the recruiting class and suffer another wave of transfers.

At that point you have to part ways, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Personally, and this is just me, I think Hurley is a blowhard and a clown, at best a mid-major head coach at a smaller university like URI, maybe St. Bonaventure, St. Joe's, etc. That's his ceiling and I have see nothing to indicate that he's capable of competing intellectually with his high major peers. He seems to think his job is to roll the ball out and if the team wins, great. If not, well, it's on the players because they weren't 'tough', 'disciplined', 'committed' or some combination of cliches that ultimately point right back to the person speaking.

If find it interesting that Cooley's response to 'I need a guard' was to pull a transfer from Kentucky and Hurley's response to 'I need a guard' is to pull....an up-transfer from East freaking Carolina. I mean, what did we expect would happen when we matched them up?

14-2, ranked 4th.

0-2 in the round of 64 - we can and should do better! Don't you agree?

Think about it…Hurley the 4th best coach in the Big East?

Tough to say: Matta, Miller, Anderson, McDermott, and Cooley are all older, have more years of experience, higher winning percentages and more wins and Sweet 16 appearances than Hurley. Smart also has a greater list of accomplishments, but is a few years younger.

Were you regarding "4th best" negatively or positively?

Negatively…he seems to be overmatched against Cooley, Miller McDermott?
