Fabulous news

 

[Hey Adrien!]

This should quell the ridiculous "Hurley to NBA" rumors for a long, long time.

SO glad we went with Hurley!

 

[August_West]

I wonder what the buyout is on his end.

 

[HanDurley]

Was a no brainer for me. Go 'Skies baby

 

[SportsFan88]

Well deserved but I know some ppl on the board are pissed LOL

Great news.

 

[Umami Zen]

Good news but interesting that DH seems to like Rothstein to break significant news vs local guys. Not a criticism but just an observation.

Would've preferred he broke the news himself from his Abe1 Boneyard account, but exciting news nonetheless

 

[HooperScooper]

Well that settles that. He's not leaving for a while.

Well that settles that. He's not leaving for a while.

Whelp a couple years at least.


The backend isnt that prohibitive and would be paid off by anyone he wanted to jump to. But thats the business of sports and if that was the case in 4-5 years it would probably indicate we were wildly successful over the interim.

Not worried about it. I just find buyouts (on both sides) curious concerning the market.

I can't see him leaving for anywhere else. He is a northeast guy , bringing UConn back to form in the Big East. As long as it's college, he will be here coaching. This is his dream job.

 

[UCDaveD]

They extended Edsall too lmao

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Great news! I am excited about the future.

Andrea is starting to rock on the WAGs podcast so you know DH isn't going to get in the way of that Mojo. LOL

Good for them. Good for us.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Outstanding by both UConn and Coach Hurley. The fit is real. I think he realized it, and he really is the long term answer here. It's the main reason I thought he was the right guy. He loves this particular job.

Logged in just to piss on this news. WTH

He's buddies with Rothstein, Goodman, Zags etc. It's a great thing after years of what seems like a bit of an adversarial relationship with UConn and the tri-state and national guys.

On first glance it seems totally ridiculous but I'm pretty sure the buyout remains $0 with Edsall.

 

[Palatine]

Hurley's kid will still be at UConn for three more years. So we're good for a while.

There is ONLY one answer on Edsall. He is a Plug. One that was inexpensive ... and continues to be $. Benedict believes he is gonna circle back to a good program ... and quite frankly, so do I. He is hard to take; but he also is the Football typology that I like. Gristled old school

I don't think that Hurley will be an NBA threat for a long, long time if ever.

The way he coaches doesn't really fit the NBA style. He's about recruiting, toughness, building a great staff, aggressive defense, etc. The NBA is about offensive skill and flexibility and covering the PnR in a variety of ways...Also managing egos. That's just not really how Hurley has operated to date.

Congrats, Coach. Well deserved.
