On the DAY that the extension is announced, people around here find a way to put a pessimistic slant on this. Can't we just enjoy this news for just a bit?? On a nearly cloudless day some of you must go chasing the single cloud in the sky...
Happy wife-Happy life.. Pretty sure Andrea has a vote and will always prefer the CBB lifestyle over the NBA lifestyle. Danny has the financial security now to follow JC's model. Might as well settle in and start working on the golf game for the off season or buy a nice little cottage on the Jersey Shore.

It does. It allows him to continue recruiting. Kids often commit prior to the season.

I suppose if your name is Ozzie or Ward. But Hurley has said in the past he would only leave for an NBA job. I have no doubt that decision would come with full support of his wife. After all, ball is wife.
Think you're underestimating Andrea's clout in the Hurley household, Wouldn't be leaving UConn for the money. He will have plenty of that-- Dan Hurley's UConn trajectory (at his age) is closely mirroring JC's career at UConn. Why didn't he go pro as a coach? Loved the Celtics as a kid. Perhaps loyalty-- which is also part of Danny's DNA.
Next step for Dan Hurley is to convert his excellent recruiting classes into NC banners. I believe he will.
I also think Dan Hurley enjoys mentoring young people in the game of Life and derives a lot of gratification in watching them grow over their time in his Program.
As for the Ozzie and Ward comment. You will understand better as you grow older and Life teaches you certain lessons. LOL

He won't. He is quickly rebuilding UConn into the force it was. One of the many things Calhoun did was establishing UConn as a destination job. Hurley is carrying that forward. His footprint in the Northeast, his ability to get the kids he wants, and UConn back in the big east will allow him to rebuild a powerhouse. Thats all he ever wanted and UConn is the perfect platform for him.

LOL, my ass. I'm probably older than you. One lesson I've learned that someone who says "happy wife, happy life" isn't very deep.
Ever heard of a sense of humor?

I'm a laff riot. Your phase is something unfunny people think is funny. Besides, you didn't say it for humor you said it to make your point.

Didn't know you knew her.
I don't but she seems like an awesome lady with a great sense of humor and perspective on life. Danny's a lucky guy and he knows it.
She's a tremendous ambassador for the Program.
You should listen to her podcast if you haven't already.Its hilarious.

One thing about UConn, if you can create an elite program you are royalty in the state. It's Connecticut's pro team and you are the most famous person in the state and can call your shots. We've seen it with Calhoun and Geno, it's a pretty damn good place to be if you're a winner. You don't walk away from that, my guess is we'll have him for the long haul.
