Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2497978, member: 3376"] Just listing his record is some crap, mau. What makes Hurley highly regarded is that he's twice taken over the worst team in the conference then turned it into one of the very best – consistent winners – in either 2 or 3 seasons. He's highly regarded because he's brought programs back from the dead, which seems like a useful job skill given where we're heading. So let's look at it from a different perspective. If you remove Hurley's first year at Wagner & his first year at URI – the full-on "I have to clean up this trainwreck caused by the previous coach" years for both schools – his overall record is 112-39, or 75%. He also led URI to the tournament for the first time in decades, their first tournament win in decades, posted a winning season even when he lost his best player to injury, and has steadily recruited better and better classes. He's one of the best young-ish coaches out there. [/QUOTE]
