Re: Bigger Hire at the time - Hurley or Archie?

I guess it depends on how you interpret "bigger" - it seems like people are answering based on the size of the splash at the time of the hire. I guess I was thinking of bigger in terms of more critical to the program trajectory, something you'd really need to measure over time. I have ver...

Re: Bigger Hire at the time - Hurley or Archie?

Definitely Archie. Not a knock on Hurley. At the time he was just an up and coming coach. Archie is already name brand and more impressive achievement. Now it will be up for debate on which coach actually has a better career. That is still up in the air.
