We hired the wrong hurley !!!

[RayIsTheGOAT]

 

[awfuldan]

Lol. He won at Creighton this season too!! Danny's never done that!

 

[huskyfan224]

No we didn’t.

 

[superjohn]

Nice win!!! He's about to get fired!!!

 

[gtcam]

No we didn’t.

Ease up Mrs Hurley - have a sense of humor

 

[bendm]

We can still hire him (as an assistant once Kamani gets a HC job)

 

[AZHuskiePop]

I thought he was getting fired a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Mr. French]

He's gonna be an awesome recruiter for big bro next year.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I keep wondering if Bobby would rather be an assistant here than a mid major HC. Might be fun with pops supporting the team as well. His ego probably wouldn’t allow it though.

lol, making 1/10 the salary of his brother? No way he would go for that.

Did it at Wagner, but obviously not the same situation lol

As much as I can’t stand Duke and never ever liked Bobby Hurley. I would welcome him as an assistant coach/recruiter with open arms.

 

[jibsey]

As beat them handily but beating UCLA was big.

 

[navery12]

Did we hire the right one now?

 

[huskiesNhoos]

lol, making 1/10 the salary of his brother? No way he would go for that.

i'd suffer making 1/10 my brother's salary if it meant I was bringing in $300k

 

[Mr. French]

He already was his assistant in the past, I highly doubt he would care about that. Usually guys that get fired don't immediately get hired that season. I was just making a joke but I don't think it's out of the question.

 

[Improviser]

What if he does get hired and they disagree with one another during the game? Siblings are more likely to do that, than non-relatives.

Is Bobby an emotional guy? I haven't really followed him or seen any in-game videos for him.

What a thread that would be for the BY, though.

 

[whosurdaddy2720]

Kinda weird how no one seems to be talking about Arizona.

Highly publicized exit of previous head coach.

First-year with the new coach and they've got a top 5 ranking and are on track for a #1 seed. They are legit national title contenders.

So many programs struggle after moving on from an established coach but they've seemed to hit an absolute home run.

He and Shaka are two of the reasons why I don't buy the "we're in a rebuild!" nonsense. You either win or you don't--period. I'm not nearly as down on this team as some of the lunatics on this board, especially after road losses vs ranked teams. But winning is winning is winning. Everything else is just fluff.

Roster turnover happens so quickly compared to the past. You can be a brand new team in a season or two.

Emotional would be a good word to use . They coached together at Wagner before he went to Buffalo and Danny to URI. If you have the time, check out the Hurley E60/30 for 30. I can't remember which it was. It was a good watch.

...I dear hope you aren't comparing UConn's situation after Ollie to Arizona's current situation.

There is a lot more nuance to a rebuild period than just either "buying it" or "not buying it". The level at which you have to rebuild from is too big of a consideration to stand on one side of the fence.

Tommy Lloyd took over from a team that finished 17-9 and 5th in the Pac-12. That's a little different than where we were at with Ollie.

Lloyd's rebuild at Arizona has been nothing short of extremely impressive, and unlikely, especially given the roster departures. But you can't just take two outliers like Shaka and Lloyd and discount all other rebuild periods as being nonsense.

Shaka is a big name guy- he brought in a solid recruiting class and some good, under-the-radar transfers. Again, still impressive the level of improvement in such a short time... but it's not the norm.

 

[Improviser]

LLoyd at Arizona, according to Wikipedia, was an assistant coach for a few years at Gonzaga and his specialty was international recruiting, and player development.

While at Gonzaga, he developed several players for the NBA, such as Turiaf, Adam Morrison, Jeremy Pargo, Austin Daye, Sacre, Olynyk, Kyle Wiltjer, Sabonis, Zach Collins, Hachimura, and Brandon Clarke.

So, he had a niche and was a good developmental guy, though no previous head coaching experience.

He did not exactly inherit a struggling team as far as I can tell from their record.

Who knows how a coach will turn out. Let's see what the rest of this season and a few more will bring.

I'm aware the situations aren't comparable. I'm still tired of the "rebuild" nonsense. Every single player on this roster is someone Hurley chose to have on the roster. We've been ranked most of the season. We are not still rebuilding. Our roster is full of experience and 4-star players--exactly what you'd want in a team. If we are missing key pieces of a team like more ball-handling and shooting, that is Hurley's fault. Period.

 

[kansashusky]

Unfortunately both Hurleys have the same ceiling. Danny has been able to recruit better just because of geography and brand, but they are both similar in game, unfortunately.

I wonder if Bobby will get canned this year, and Dan hires him on our staff.

You’re right. We’re not.

We’ve been ranked top 25 for most of this year

We’ve been pulling in highly rated recruits, stealing players out of the back yards of programs like Villanova, Syracuse, and Auburn

All coming from Wagner, Northeastern, and a 3 point win to Loyola Marymount

The rebuild was a success, with Hurley to thank

I think he knows and respects that, but the point is Hurley has been here plenty long enough to where the rebuild should no longer be an excuse for losing big games. It is time to win now and coaches who have taken over other down programs have shown it is more than doable in this time frame.

My point is that Hurley calling this a rebuild and using that as an excuse at times is ridiculous. You aren't in a rebuild when 100% of this roster was either recruited or purposefully retained by your head coach. We didn't lose to Creighton because we're in a rebuild. We lost because our team had a terrible night for a whole host of reasons, including our head coach.

I agree with all of that

However, a loss to Creighton is not just cause to lose sight of what we have accomplished over the past several seasons

Not saying you, but I’ve seen a contingent on this board call for Nate Oats, post wrong brother threads, and call for his ass to be on the hot seat

The constant vitriol is net negative for the perception of our program, AP polls, recruiting etc

When was the last time Hurley mentioned a rebuild? Honest question
