Wanted Hurley as much as anyone.  We needed someone badly to stop the hemorrhaging in the program and Dan demonstrated twice he could turn programs around.  So put me in the category of thinking he was going to be a major factor in getting the program back.

Put me in the category that feels he assembled a killer group of assistants.

However it was not known at the time of his hire we’d be returning to the BE.  Our coaches cover the DMV’s of a large geographical footprint of the BE.  That was a significant fortuitous outcome for the staff.

Additionally there is the Covid-19 factor.  It helps that players do not take the opportunity to travel or prefer being closer to home because of Covid-19.

These circumstances as well as recruits mi$$ing out on backyard cookouts or hooker$ and blow don’t at all diminish the value of the coaches or what they have accomplished.  IMO these circumstances  accelerated the timeline of getting us back towards the top.   We would have gotten there anyways.
