Message: [QUOTE="Captbluefin, post: 2632656, member: 6198"] I have been watching URI pretty much all season. Most have watched 1-3 games. Here is reality. The grass is not greener. Firing Ollie for a coach with a lesser winning percentage in 2 lesser conferences. Was really not what I thought was a great idea. Spend the money. Go poach a proven coach from a big program who is a good X/O’s guy who has a name and can recruit. MAKE A SPLASH. Someone kids know and want to play for. Combine that with our 4 NC’s and kids will know we are serious about getting back to the top of the mountain. We dont have time or the situation to try for lightning in a bottle. Hurley is a bigger gamble than most here who drank the Hurley cool aid think. Hurley is not a upgrade from Ollie. He is about the same just a different face.. Ollie is better recruiting. JA, Dan Hurley, AG.... And we were in the mix on several big time guys who went elsewhere that are now being chased after for paying recruits. Hurley never even got on any top 50 final lists.. And dont say its due to conference when everyone says the AAC is so bad.. Is it that better than the A10? If we are a BIG school go get a big coach. If not we will be a middle of the conference team.. Bet on it. I support KO’s firing. But I want a upgrade a real upgrade. This is not 1985. It’s 2018 and we have 4 freakin NC’s and we are looking a a A10 coach with a record under .600 [/QUOTE]
