If Rutgers can't get the best players in NJ then maybe a guy like lonergan can even things out since he's shown he can get those good international players.
Although, I question his abililities a little bit since he failed to get his very talented and senior laden GW team to the dance.

If DH leaves, we just wish him well with the work he'll have to do at Rutgers and hope for a couple of things:

1. Thorr and Dooley make an excellent hire that will continue on with this rebuild without missing a beat.
2. This hire is able to keep all the members of the current roster and all the recruits from leaving.

Honestly, Hurley really could continue to build something special here. I hope he realizes this and stays. But if he goes and the above two things occur, then we will be in good shape.

Lonergan is not a serious candidate. He was only in the mix because he has the same agent as Dan and others in the same NJ crowd.

If he leaves, I'll thank him for getting the URI program back on its feet and primed for the future, but I certainly won't be pulling for him at Rutgers. Why would I? In that scenario, we're going to be competing with him every year for the best NY/NJ recruits, and we all know how much weight his last name carries.

Yeah, look how many he lured and/or were sent his way.....

He'd do the supporters of URI a helluva lot better at this point by just saying he's staying and put an end to this nonsense-- if he is indeed staying. He doesn't have to leverage anything here. T.B. and Dooley have his back.

I offer no conclusion with these remarks.

Factors favoring Dan Hurley staying at URI

• Rutgers would be his third rebuilding job.
• After a tough season, Hurley is currently in a state of exhaustion, not the prime mental state to take on the mess that is Rutgers.
• His family likes RI, his son will be a senior at Hendricken, and returning to the family pressure cooker that is NJ is not automatically attractive.
• Hurley can get an extension on his URI contract.
• Hurley values are not rooted in big personal spending, he is more motivated to get better pay for his staff, some staff changes, increased number of staff trainers and others. This is all doable.
• Before Hurley, URI BB was in the bottom four of conference teams on expenses, URI is now in the middle of the pack, and committed to moving up to the top four and has gotten administration and alumni support for this to happen.
• Hurley values his commitment to his current players, the incoming players, and some future prospects. Very complicated situations.

Factors favoring Dan Hurley leaving URI

• Big time Big Ten
• $7 million more over the same time span.
• Returns home to NJ (see countervailing force above).

Barchi is the President of Rutgers, but he is not Nick Matiello at the R.I. House of Representatives. The choices made concerning athletics were politically twisted, and flawed in character.

Ouch, Bress.
Seriously, there is a pantload of pressure on DH to make the Dance next season. If he flops, he's likely to flop again the following season.

If his game coaching skills don't improve, it could happen, then what have we got?

Another CFL. More NIT's, less fun.

I hope to High Holy Hell that this doesn't happen. NCAA's don't happen because some know-it-alls think it will.

And we need our players to start making plays and shots to win close games. None of them, save Four a couple of times [and he's gone] did that this season. Who new is coming in to help change that? Dowtin? He's a freshmen, he's not likely to see the court at the end of games, unless he's REALLY good. And don't get me started about EC. He has to prove he can do it too.

Still, I'll be happy if Dan stays. For now. Those two words sum up the whole deal.

Just want to add one thing to this. Forgive me while I break out some CBO-nerd talk here, but with regard to the bold: it is only true using a static scoring model. Using a dynamic scoring model and projecting Hurley success at URI in the near term, his salary will either be brought in line with Rutgers here or greatly increased at a program that is bigger and better than Rutgers. I actually think this is one of the biggest factors for him staying. I think it is easy to make the argument that leaving URI for Rutgers is only a good financial move in the immediate near-term, and long-term it would be a net negative.

There is just one big assumption in there. He fails at Rutgers. Actually, two flawed assumptions. Rhody is never paying him $2MM even if he got to the Final Four. If you are building 1,000 outcomes, my guess is the higher average outcome is taking the Rutgers job and seeing where life takes you from there. Starting $7MM ahead is like having a 40 yard dash race where one starts 10 yards ahead. Not impossible to catch up but sort of hard. You guys really think he won't be able to get a mid-major job if he struggles at Rutgers? The only way staying at URI makes the financial equation work is if he crushes it next year and gets a mid tier P5 job at a salary that is close to what Rutgers is offering (more than average P5 right now) vs. flaming out at Rutgers. If money was the only issue, no way does he turn this down.

If Dan stays he needs to bring in a veteran coaching presence to the staff. It is doubtful that his ego will allow it; but he needs some guidance on the bench. Closing out games, coming out of time outs and his constant whining, complaining and showing up officials has hurt this team. He has done an above average job bringing in talent but below average in game coaching.

If money was the only issue, no way does he turn this down.

This is something that happens all the time. A guy signs a seven year deal or something and it sets the market and three years later the deal looks just average because the market catches up. Let's say Hurley gets to the tournament next year and wins a game. Some schools come calling, but not a-list schools and URI throws some more money into the assistants pool and he Hurley comes back. In year 2 he gets into the NCAAs and wins two games. Now he is a huge commodity. He can probably get the best job available, which will likely pay more than 2M/yr. Alternatively, maybe there isn't a a-list job open but some schools come after him and he leverages that again to re-up with URI. URI is already paying him 1M/yr at that point. Now you have new revenues - not even counting all the squishy revenue from increased ticket sales, sponsorship, chances for buy-games and donations (which is all sure to come), you're guaranteed a nice chunk from your tournament appearances and wins, plus an increased conference share. His salary at that point would be inching close enough to what he would have got at Rutgers to make going to Rutgers a poor decision, whether he stays or goes.

Now, that success is obviously not guaranteed. But if I were going to bet on myself I think I'd like my odds on winning the next two years at URI over the chance that you are the Neo of college basketball that can make Rutgers good against all known laws of the natural world.

I am probably in the minority, but if DH is not planning on being here longterm (3 or 4 years minimum) I would rather him leave now. Get the next guy in with a good team he can hopefully make the dance with and jump start recruiting. I think that transition will work well for VCU. Plus a million in the bank from Rutgers won't hurt so long as it is reinvested.

I say this, but my obvious preference in DH for a long time as out coach. I think he is fantastic, I just don't know how realistic it is to expect him to remain here long term even though I think it is a better job than most lower end P-5 schools (except the money)

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 8 years ago

I feel like this board is inaccurate often but I kind of make it a rule to not point to facts because thats not fun.

Sean Miller is the 10th highest paid coach in the land at Arizona coming in at a whopping 2.2M. This according to the tournament list from 2015.

So how the hell is Dan "I have hardly sniffed a tournament" Hurley getting a 2.5?

This board always talks about a big school swooping in and will woo Dan with a huge salary bla bla... Well the truth is those schools usually have a coach and the 10th highest paid guy is at 2.2 so everyone else falls in line from there.

Also "why doesn't someone grab Cooley?".. Well he is on the list for close to 1.2M. To coach the team where he grew up. Where that 1.2M is worth it. That means there is only 1m per year between Cooley and the top 10. So why would he jump ship for a few 100k to go live somewhere he never gave one thought? Yea Kentucky! Duke! UNC! Keep going down the line and those schools that could make the salary jump matter to a Cooley all have coaches.

This is not at all like CFL as some have said. Every time Dan goes through this process he holds out to maximize the improvements to the program. It's like Christmas in March.

Things like assistant coaches salary pool will enable the program to retain top assistants and provide stability to the players.

Relationships with his players have been talked down, but in this specific round of planning, Dan values that commitment more than the average coach might at any given time.

Lastly, the prospect of the 3rd dumpster fire rebuild in 7 years is of major concern.

Koch and Zagoria both had these points in tweets or reports in the last 24 hours. Makes me think those are the driving factors Dan himself is sharing.

Institutional support and commitment is also a top concern. Many have discussed in detail here, but Rhode Island is in a position to soon operate as a top 4 program in The A10. That will allow Dan to maintain a championship caliber program and maximize results/revenue in his time here, while positioning him for a better job than Rutgers years from now.

But it's not. He wants to win, and to win you got to have the foundation beneath you.

I think we'll hear something in the next couple of days...it's not a done deal yet [him staying] but it's close I think....

Ace will post when it becomes known that he's staying, I would think.

Sorry for asking this, but I was curious about her relationship with DH last year, and I've never seen the thread where she first came aboard...

Is she like his sister or something?

It is not totally known, but I don't think she is a sister (not even sure if they have a sister). Probably not a stretch to say family friend or old friend.
