Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[UC313]

Ive got a refresh blister.

Anxiously awaiting to change my handle to HurleyMan216...

Not a bad fall back position. JC with Scott Burrell might be > Danny Hurley anyway. Scott Burrell is a very smart man and is well spoken.

Calhoun is an absolute legend.

That being said, people that think he is the answer right now are delusional.

How many pages will the thread be when Hurley doesn't come?

Depends how many posts get put up between tonight and tomorrow afternoon

So close to 50 pages. Providing a helpful nudge.

Good idea! Hurley is clearly waiting to go to the first program whose message board racks up a 50-page thread on his coaching decision.

We’ll have to see if he’s willing to count off-topic posts about CT taxes and politics as part of the total. If not, we may need to get this thread up to about 70 pages or so before he pulls the trigger.

Triple digits in 5 minutes, quad within 48 hours

We definitely have the best pizza thread...and the best pizza.

Anyone have current inside info and still confident?

Are they really going to ___ the bed on this too?

An E8 & Final4 on the resume. @ South Car. and KState. I mean the guy can coach good basketball.

Just not what people would consider the quintessential UConn guy because of his previous BCS head coaching experience.

JMHO

Yes

I'm sorry, but if UConn can't land its first choice, then that alone is a statement of the status of UConn athletics on the national scene.

Avoid the Yard if that happens. And Twitter. And society.

Me too. It's been a day and I can't take it anymore. I've turned into a millennial.

Sold! That better have been part of Benedict’s sales pitch: “Dan, we have — without a doubt — the best pizza-related threads on our fan message board. That’s something URI or Pitt frankly can’t offer you. Think it over.”

There is literally no indication which school he will pick, but BY gonna BY.

 

[tzznandrew]

Rutgers and BC as career killers? They are rolling in dough, as is Pitt. Doesn't matter if they win or lose, they get their B1G/ ACC payout.

Yes, because that's what fans care about, and why coaches personally take jobs. The university getting cash.

Coaches want to win. They don't do that at Rutgers or BC. Outside of 2 years of Howland or so, and a streak with Dixon, Pitt hasn't either.

 

[AntG168]

I just can’t see him choosing Pitt. This is all misdirection. I have to believe we’d get ouroffer close enough to Pitt’s. This is all about pride now. This is too Public we need to lock him up. This is OUR guy, we ain’t going out like this

either it's done and all of this is smoke and last ditch efforts from his agent or we swung and miss on something we thought was a done deal for a while.

 

[tzznandrew]

Seriously. What actual new information has actually come out? We knew roughly what we offered, we knew roughly what Pitt would offer, and we were the leaders. Now, suddenly, just because time has passed, we're doomed?

But the entertainment value will be significantly higher than the conference realignment debacle...
