Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

I have 3 tall boys (710 ml or 24 ounce) beers, left over chicken and watching wag the dog as I check up on this.

Hey, when was the last time there was such a huge thing over a men's college ball coach? Well for uconn fans there is no bigger... But other than that, can anyone think of something comparable where 3 or more teams were after one coach?

Why do people tweet "news" under fake accounts? I haven't had time to check twitter because of my unnatural attention to this thread so I didn't see it until you guys called it out here. What exactly do they gain from that?
I believe you are looking for the "philosophy of humor" board...
 
This article hit our friends over on Keaney Blue like a ton of bricks...some called it BS others have realized what their reality is..


Bill Reynolds: Defining moment for URI, Hurley


Now those dopes are arguing over the caliber of the guy who wrote this thing and who is a better sports writer than him at the Providence Journal...
"Is it big enough to keep Hurley?"
Clearly the answer is no. I expect Hurley to come to UConn because it would be the best decision for his career.
We've had a few down years where we have been slightly on the south side of .500 but we have a decent nucleus of players and with the addition of 2 players we would have a chance at the tourney next season. Pittsburgh has no chance for at least 2 or more likely 3 years. Hurley would have to recruit an entire team. Challenges are one thing but the Pittsburgh situation is ridiculous.
URI is a stepping stone job and Hurley will use it as such no matter how much he likes the people in Kingston.
UConn makes the most sense for Hurley even if Pittsburgh is offering more money.

You’d think they’d cover that facade.
Agreed; perhaps due to historical or preservation considerations as site of several Presidential campaign speeches. IIRC, the front columns & other components originally came from a respected architect's building razed in the City.

From the A Dime back piece --

UConn is expected to name Rhode Island’s Dan Hurley as its next head coach, sources tell A Dime Back. The contract is rumored to pay $3.1 million annually (a figure we could not confirm), a significant raise from Hurley’s current $1.1 million salary at URI, and was reportedly finalized after a late push by several high profile UConn donors.
