Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2672973, member: 2844"] Unless you changed your name from MadDogRevival, I never claimed you insinuated the word elite - he did Due to the fact that many folks here feel the AAC is a piece of garbage - winning the title should be easy - that was the expectation on KO with that pile of dung -so it's now transferred. In addition, because of the hype that surrounds Dan Hurley, those expectations shouldn't be tempered (based on his prior results) To be honest anything less than 2-3 conference regular season titles/ conference tournament championships by end of 5th year and one appearance in Final Four would be disappointing, that was what UConn was averaging during the time Coach Dan Hurley suggested being the days he intended to accomplish in returning. I am not saying at all that he can't do it (he did it at Wagner and URI) and as a life long UConn fan and season ticket holder I pray he does bring back the program to that level. If he is the coach and recruiter he is being built up to be then there should be no excuses. It appears to me that the sense of urgency to return to the glory days that many said would be solved by this hiring is now starting to become a lets give it some time and see proposition. At $3mil a year, that's an expensive proposition. I'm keeping my fingers crossed; what he brings in as recruits/players the next few weeks is awfully important It's vital to the fan base and the University that this works out - UConn needs cheeks in the seats during home games As you said the proof will be in the pudding but the clock is ticking......
