Errybody already knew, but it's cool

Quote from twitter: "This search is worse than a tinder match in Kentucky."

What if they offer him $21M?

How much money does it take to cleanse a cesspool?

 

[Kolumbo]

The next Cam, Tristen, Hass and Stephon are out there. Dan Hurley is Jerry McGuire

Id hardly call this official. Official will be a news report that says "Dan Hurley and the University of Connecticut have agreed on a contract extension blah blah blah"

Not "Official", but I assume one of the sources was actually Hurley himself.

Kentucky is like an NBA job. 0 job security. Hurley (or anyone) could risk it at UK and only last 5 years or they could stay put, get a heft raise and work untol they're 70 as a hometown hero.

UK is being caught out. Got too big for their britches

Andrea herself*

Kentucky be like....

 

[superjohn]

They're going to work their way all the way down to this guy and then he's going to say no...

"The way they keep getting stuck on “UConn can’t match that.” Obviously. But, it’s not an auction. You don’t get the coach by just offering the most money. UConn will make the numbers work the way they did last year with a respectable increase but more importantly- program support, staff salaries, etc. UConn fans should only consider the Kentucky talk as a humorous distraction."

I don't know what the relationship NJHoops has with Dan but it seems to be a close relationship.

How well off is the school? Will a raise of Hurley's magnitude affect us?

As close as it gets.

Kentucky Fans right now.

Agreed. Norlander was getting texts directly from Hurley while the team was sitting on the tarmac at Bradley. I trust his reporting.

UK go kick rocks!

I’ve been thinking of this comparison recently. His “you better get us know speech” was effectively his Jerry McGuire mission statement. Now he’s shown the recruits the kwon and they’re flocking to him to be a part of something bigger than themselves.

No one mentions this Danny is well on his way to the HOF and I don't meant the Boneyard HOF

 

[phillionaire]

I think their fan base has a humiliation fetish they're still deluded into thinking he's gonna come!

 

[ctbro1999]

lol this is amazing!

This is incredible. I'm so jacked right now.

 

[nycscooby]

Okay, now I am enjoying this UK show much more. I guess someone on that board has knowledge of the whereabouts of a UK booster’s private plane and he says it’s presently at Laguardia. Could it be Pitino? I could see that happening…

Really feel like Kevin Ollie is a good fit here

He's waiting until after the parade to screw over UConn fans and announce he's going to Kentucky!

 

[EricSD]

This is so awesome. IF anyone feels like it, post some snips of the Kentucky reaction on our board LOL. I bet it's going to be comical!

 

[diggerfoot]

I suspect the fact that Hurley’s HOF father was a high school coach also works to our advantage. He likely already feels he is standing on the shoulders of a giant, neither programs like Kentucky nor the pros are going to do much more for his self-esteem.

You couldn’t pay me $40 mil/year to live and work in Kentucky. I’d have no respect for myself.

You have to eat fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Limited to 3 showers per week, one of which is with your brother. And you have to divorce Andrea and marry your cousin.

I don’t know about you, but my cousin’s not that hot.

He's going to take the trophy with him and add it to Kentucky's case! And bring Andre Johnson Jr!
