This. They are going to take another run at Hurley with an absolutely insanely stupid amount of money.... would not surprise me if they top out at $15 million..... again, not suggesting Dan Hurley will take it, but me no likey

The insiders say they are already there…..

Can never tell what could happen……maybe they are that desperate, and they do come up with some insane amount of money he couldn’t pass up…..

What I do know is…..:these lunatics have absolutely no more information about the details than we do

And it’s funny watching them self immolate

That would make him by far the highest paid college coach. Not college bball. College.

Yes it would. For context, when Alabama hired Nick Saban in 2007, they made him the highest paid coach in college football and his base salary was essentially the same as he made coaching the dolphins.

I'm going to wait to laugh until I know Danny is not going there. As others have said, as the candidates decrease the UK desperation increases along with a blank check. It would be silly to LOL at Kentucky now when Hurley is still a non-zero chance of happening there.

He already said he's not going.

Pretty sure that would double the next highest annual salary for NCAA hoop coaches.

That doesn’t sound like something a blue blood has to do.

It’s not going to happen. The next UK coach is not going to blow past Kirby Smart’s salary. I think what we’ve all learned from this is that UK fans find it very easy to spend their boosters’ hypothetical money.

Dan Hurley: 'No way' UConn coach would entertain Kentucky job

UConn AD David Benedict said the program would do "everything we can to remain in position to win championships."
theathletic.com theathletic.com

“I don’t think that’s on my mind,” Hurley told The Athletic. When asked more directly if there was any way he’d entertain the Kentucky job, Hurley responded: “No way.”

Hurley added that one reason he’d never go is because he’s not going to drag his wife even farther from New Jersey.

“I can’t afford a divorce right now. I just started making money.”
 
They can bring Glen Miller, Jeff Calhoun and Tyler Olander from St Joes to UKy
At least it's got UConn roots and pedigree.

I like to believe this. But just in honesty he didn't. He kinda coach speaked it. If he did give a definitive no he'd be in the nate oats and scott drew camp. He's not

This is (unfortunately) the only correct take on his comments. I understand why he did it, but man it would have been awesome for him to just flat out say "I'm not going anywhere. UConn is the blue blood and the only coaching job for me"

Dan Hurley says there’s “No way” he’s going to Kentucky

Hurley just completed the rare back-to-back championship feat with UConn. He’s not going anywhere.

Look I don't think he's going. But if Kentucky gets really desperate who knows. I don't think he leaves if we bump his pay to 8m and they offer 11 or 12. But if they offer something like 15 guaranteed for 8 years? Is it worth the hassle at that point?

I think we've seen enough coaches over the years seemingly say no and then take the giant bag and skip town. I would love to think Hurley is different, and money certainly isn't everything, but giant money might be different than regular money.

Why does he need to release an official statement based on internet rumors? He said he's not leaving this year and he said it multiple times.
 
IMO it's quite hilarious that Ktky can't buy a coach! Who would really want to coach where the pressure would be incessant from day one to win a Natty?
 
If Miami or UCLA had an opening and was willing to back up the truck, we should be nervous. A lifestyle job like that could pull any coach out of any job. Kentucky is a rebuild with a completely demented fan base, in Appalachia. It is not that hard to say “no” to that job.

I'd take the job if they offered. I can handle pressure for that much cash.
 
The Kentucky board is all over Greg Swaim right now.... this from 11pm last night....

Dan Hurley needs a new contract TODAY. I know it’s unlikely he leaves for somewhere else, but he’s the best coach in America and going to get job offers. Make him the highest paid coach in college basketball and do it immediately. He’s deserved it.

I don't want to want to go into semantics but since I respect you @Kemba15

just my opinion, He doesn't need to release a statement but for some reason, his "no" was not the level of no that nate oats gave. They completely stopped talking about nate oats, even though he would be almost as much a grand slam hire as danny. So there is a difference in the level of 'no'.

Man, I don't like the way I sound right now.

They really don't get it. They don't realize their "passion" is actually extreme toxicity.
 
I'm going out on a limb here...

Dan Hurley will not be the next head coach at Kentucky.

Crazy, right? That's how I roll folks.

That's correct. The passion they are bloviating about on BBN forums is what is scaring off coaching candidates.

Ehh oats would be a great hire, but there is no almost as much of a grand slam hire as Hurley. That’s why they are still talking about him, there’s a portion of their fan base that would be disappointed with anyone but Hurley.

And as far as Kentucky getting more desperate and offering even more, Hurley tweeting a statement doesn’t stop that scenario
