Message: [QUOTE="Paesano, post: 2626830, member: 5631"] I don't want us to do this to Calhoun. At most, he could be the associate head coach. But I don't see him wanting to do that. If we get Hurley, I think their relationship is strong enough that Calhoun will re-engage strongly behind the scenes. And you know Hurley's father will. And I think we will see Blaney around too. That is a great start for a brain trust. Now, here is where the details of Hurley's contract might matter. If he agrees to a reasonable guaranteed level of, say, 2 mill a year with big bonuses of, say, 500k for making the NCAAs, 1 mill for getting to the final four and 1.5 mill for winning the champiinship, he could see a path to P5 money while freeing up guaranteed money to hire a great staff. Then he could bring Moore with him, steal Hobbs from Rutgers and make one more good hire to fill in the gaps. I think Hurley has promise and, if he surrounds himself with good people, he will be very successful and get those incentives. If he has P5 success, he will get P5 money. And the structure of his contract could enable him to do that. [/QUOTE]
