I got a text from a friend (no clue what twitter source he got it from) that says Hurley signed an extension through 2023-24. Twitter sources are like buttholes, everyone's got one.

I know nothing (as do most of us), but my understanding is that Hurley is a pretty stand up guy and would not just leave URI without first meeting w/ the AD et al. There's an article out there about him leaving St. Benedict's and how he was shaken and initially was unable to even state that he was leaving due to his belief in loyalty. Generally, where there's smoke, etc. So I'd expect Hurley to properly address his departure with URI and then make wherever he's going, official. Certainly hope it is here.

That makes Hurley better than Lute Olson, Randy Edsall, Ben Howland, Brian Kelly, Todd Graham, and a number of other collegiate head coaches who didn't think it was necessary or important to say goodbye to their teams before leaving to take other jobs. Hurley deserves high marks for that.
 
Not that I'm superstitious or anything, but I'll feel a lot better if we hear a decision today; I am an Aries, which starts tomorrow. Trust me, you don't want to mess with a rising ram.

I had to look up what you were referring to.

No, I'm not.

Q for me refers to a childhood nickname for my hair cut.

It would do just Q but none of the message boards let you have a one character name.

File for the trademark. Do it now

And give me 5%. Thanks in advance. Oh, and non-sequential bills please. :)

I'm probably infringing on someone's copyright for the dang Hollywood sign.

Has anyone heard that URI has published a memo to it's adminstration that Hurley is going to uconn?
Expand ...

I simply can’t believe that. Would’ve leaked already.

I don't think the Pitt job is as bad as people are making it out to be... it's not like Pitt is a wasteland of a basketball school. They have a history of some success, are in the ACC, and Hurley has a track record of turning programs around, quickly. Not a bad gig for $3 mil+. Plus he can start fresh with his own footprint.

Having said that, the UConn job is better, assuming Jalen/AG/Wilson/etc. are staying. And assuming UConn are offering in the $3 mil range.

The major difference between Pitt and UCONN, aside from the obvious conference disparity, is that Pitt has been and will likely always be a football first school, even during the 2000's when they became nationally relevant in BB for a while. UCONN has been and will always be a basketball first school. That should make some difference to a guy as smart as Hurley is.

Post from URI Board: (from a different person right after that PC fan posted about his friend who texted that Hurley is staying)

A friend of mine who is the personal attorney of a B of T member at UConn told me 20 minutes ago that "This DEAL is COOKED and BAKED..." meaning all the conjecture of Dan Hurley to the University of Connecticut is OVER.

Hurley will be the next coach at Connecticut. Money was the most important factor but not the only one. There was clearly no sensitivity or regard for players and fans of URI. Yes of course he feels bad for Russell et al. BUT the cash cow element of this takes precedent. It is all business.

Sorry its over. I tried in another post to help disclose some important info. I understand the mods actions. Respected and understood!
