Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3410451, member: 93"] I don’t remember exactly what it was, but Seth Greenberg or another announcer mentioned it during a game broadcast this season, something to the effect that Hurley is a really superstitious guy and that he showed him where he puts things in the corners of one of the facilities to ward off bad spirits or something like that. I only noted it in passing at the time, but it seemed a bit hokey. And it made me wonder if he’s a little more kooky than I realized. I don’t mind that stuff per se, but there is a line between kooky and motivational and the difference is usually whether the players buy in and are winning. We know how that turned out with Diaco, but I will admit that I believed in the guy when he was hired and it took a while to realize that he was just nuts. I don’t think we’re remotely close to there with Hurley and I agree that he has greater constraints than I realized in terms of personnel on this team. Above all, I still believe in him. I just cringe a bit at some of the stuff and realize he has a ways to go yet, too. And I get a kick out of seeing all the HurleyBros giving their Hurley knee pads a workout anytime anyone suggests that he might need to improve. [/QUOTE]
