Is Hurley on the hot seat?

I can appreciate a good controversial thread, it's funny to me and I don't take it too serious. Hurley isn't close to the hot seat at this point in his tenure with the good guys. He's improved the team each and every single year. Recruiting is excellent. Unfortunately, this team will shoot themselves in and out of games this season. At some point, have to hold shooters accountable for knocking down open looks.

I think his in-game adjustments are the most frustrating thing to watch at this point but I'll take him over many other coaches in division I college bball.

No. He is our coach for at least the next two years, likely much longer unless our recruiting tanks. I fully expect us to win a couple games this tourney, and 1 or more next year.

If we somehow manage to go through the 2022 and 2023 tourneys with no wins, then he will be gone. I doubt that will happen.

The #1 most important skill as a coach is recruiting, and we have been excellent. I do believe that with Hurley's current skill as a coach, #15-#20 ish might be our ceiling unless we can recruit a transcendent talent. I fully believe that he can improve at all facets of the game to lead us to the promised land again if he sets aside the ego and gets to work.

This. Hopefully the recruiting begins to override those close games and turns them into wins.

...only if Coach Mora decides to moonlight as a basketball coach. Yeah, I'm all in over there.

It's especially stupid when you consider he's signed through 2027 and we just paid an $11mm buyout fee.

The soonest he'd be let go barring something extraordinary happening would probably be 2024/2025.

Boneyard: we are a Top 10 team that should think about firing our coach.
