Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 5024851, member: 750"] Succession plan is not needed. A terrible idea. Hurley had to take the trip to LA to get and understand the offer. He would have been foolish to do otherwise. And he turned it down. He says it was a difficult decision and I beleive it. $70 million is a lot of money but there was no guarantee he would have last 6 years. This has not done any damage to the program. If anything, it has elevated the program. He's come back because he wants that real chance at a three peat. He has a loyalty to the program and his players. Those mean more than money. Could he recieve another other from an NBA team? Sure. He's that good. The only two teams I think could lure him away are the Knicks and the Celtics. Hurley is an East Coast guy and those are the "storied" programs in he East. [/QUOTE]
