Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[uconnbill]

Hurley is a east coast coach not a steel City coach. He should come to UConn, plain and simple.

If you truly didn't care you wouldn't have seen fit to tell him how much you don't care. Conclusion? You care a lot. A real lot.

 

[auror]

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

We millennials live for this online drama. We were born in it. Molded by it. You merely adopted the keyboard and F5 key.

My feelings about the negociation is that if we're in competition with Pitt we try to seal with our best offer. But if he keeps shopping you start shopping as well. Can't be held over a barrel. Been there on 2 contract extensions and it was a mistake.

We need something more than PTSD to explain the trauma here.

We just got out of an abusive long term relationship and don't want to take a haymaker to the grill on our very first date.

Fresh meat...

That's a sweet looking building.

I just wonder if the awful aac is having a far more deleterious effect than we think.

A terrible conference with terrible travel for less money.....yeah, the pitt job pretty much sucks, but what if Hurley feels the conference alone provides more hope for future success than uconn in the aac.....

 

[Robertelamin]

Can the boneyard figure out a way to get Jacobs fired if this doesn't happen?

I’m just terrified of another week of this coaching search stuff. It needs to end tomorrow lol. The boneyard may not make it haha

What Dan Hurley should be thinking is whether it will take 2 seasons or 3 to cement himself as the Jay Wright of the damn AAC. That's it. Unlike football, I don't think basketball players care too much about conference, just coaching, facilities and playing time.

Source reiterated #UConn remains confident with a decision expected at some point tomorrow. "If any of them sleeps less tonight it's their excitement keeping them up. They presented him (Hurley) with a solid offer." Asked if they'd STILL be shocked not to land him: "No doubt."

No worries man I'll do your share.

How’d you get through the last 2 years?

God if we miss this will be embarrassing

This post isn’t rooted in any logic. UConn is only nationally known because of basketball.

I disagree with the premise that the state of Connecticut and it's unniversity have nothing to offer beyond basketball. I'm moderately offended by it. But that wasn't really the point. Which is finances. Connecticut's budgetary issues are very real. Which was nicely expressed by our friend from CCSU.

Such a bizarre situation. URI fans thinking for the longest time that they’re safe because the quality of life will trump UConn’s money, which we scoff at, and then we’re now turning around and pointing to quality of life as a reason he’ll turn down additional money from Pitt. To be honest I still think he ends up here and this is just his agent earning his commission, but it is kind of interesting to watch.

Here's hoping that UConn (Hurley) and Pitt (Miller) both announce their coaching hires tomorrow.

there's a very good chance all of this is just his agent squeezing out a few more pennies (or in this case, hundreds of thousands of dollars)

Interesting nugget in the ProJo article, DH's agent has a new client...Pitino.
