This is what gives me hope about Hurley

“Inexcusable,” Hurley continued. “Obviously a terrible reflection of how I prepared this particular group for this particular game.”

If you want to develop players that take responsibility, set the example. Look in the mirror. Take the heat. This was a bad loss. Let's hope he comes out of the other side of this a bit smarter with a bit more focus.

Agree. And that is what I was ranting about after the game on Wednesday...that Hurley did a bad job for that particular game and we can't blame that loss on "ollie's recruits". Hurley is still the man to bring us back to glory...he just had a bad game.

Yes, props to hurley for owning it.

Hopefully he goes from props to jet engines by actually making changes.

LOL. If you want to hear a coach blame himself after a loss, fine. Go for it. And, to be fair, it's overall the best approach for a coach to take. But if you think for one second that Hurley actually blames himself for how they came apart, or should, I don't know what to say. He's trying to make lemonade out of lemons, but lemonade isn't the champagne we want. And both he and everyone else reasonable understands that what he's coaching is lemons.

Hopefully, next year we start adding grapes to the mix.

Be nice if the football coach was half as honest.

The only thing he needs to own is next year’s recruiting class. I do not hold him responsible for having to “coach up” this group. In all fairness he had nothing to work with before his front court went down. Am I the only one on this board that thinks that having an inside game drastically affects the quality of guard play? It’s a big deal.

No, what you want is for the football coach to be less honest....because he's very honest when he says his team stinks.
