It's funny you pulled 8 years, since that's how many years Hurley has been a coach.

Hurley hasn't had a better offense than Marshall any single year (and his best offensive year was 0.2 better than Marshall's worst over the 8 years). Hurley's defense has also been on average 5 points per 100 possessions worse than Marshall's.

God Marshall is such a good coach. Why don't we have Koch money?

The silver lining is that Marshall was a Head Coach for 9 years before this stretch. Over his first 8 years (most of which was at Winthrop), his offense averaged 102.51 (to Hurley's 105.65) and defense 100.45 (to Hurley's 98.68), so Hurley actually had better numbers in both categories. Of course, 6 years at Winthrop is a lot worse than 2 years at Wagner, and Hurley had more years post-rebuild at his better school in the 8 year sample.

Still, I've re-assured myself in this space of this comment that Hurley can do some great things with our resources.
