Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 2672121, member: 8240"] In case some haven't seen this video of Thorr Bjorn addressing Hurley's departure, I think you'll find it interesting. [URL="https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=uh3_sports_web_gs&p=thorr+bjorn#id=4&vid=0a3bb5ef541d0687fc952801e15850bb&action=click"]thorr bjorn - Yahoo Video Search Results[/URL] The major point he made from my perspective is "I'm not interested in quick fixes." It would seem Pitino would have fit into the quick fix category so maybe the article about him really had no basis. For those commenting on the pressure the 2018 recruits are putting on the school with their comments about Cox, his statement COULD also mean he's not going to pass up the right coach for the long haul in order just to keep this year's recruits. He was asked about Cox and said he was a candidate, but I got the impression he wants to hire someone with experience as a head coach. Who knows? When asked when a hire would be made he said he'd like to wrap up the search in 2 weeks but if it takes 3 that's OK as long as they get the right coach. You wouldn't think it would take that long if Cox is the guy, so it may be he's the fall back position if they don't get an experienced head coach. He mentioned they're not using a search firm, have had a lot of coaches reach out to them about the job, already had a "list" in his computer (not the desk drawer) and he'll be using an advisory committee composed of knowledgeable people he respects who will assist in making the right choice to continue winning championships and get to the Final Four. He spoke at length about how they're in a different place than they were six years ago (and how Hurley had to immediately deal with an APR issue) and that he wants to hire the right coach to continue the upward trajectory they're on due to the great foundation Hurley built. He praised Hurley's development of the program several times and said all the right things about moving forward. [/QUOTE]
