The UCONN brand is a shell of what it was, i'm sure Dan's dream job is not another massive rebuild.
UCONN might not be ready to compete at this moment but it's still a school that has won 4 National Championships in the last two decades, and is only four years removed from their last one. The right hire with the right mentality can definitely turn UCONN around, the problem was that program lacked discipline. It's also a program that with a little juice can return to recruiting 4/5 star recruits with consistency, which I think the right hire can help with. The only thing I've ever heard about Hurley (money aside) is that if he were to take that last step in his career, it would be to a place where he could recruit at a tremendously high level. That's definitely not UCONN in it's current shape, but something worth noting.

I dont disagree, but it just feels like the 4 NC's and the UCONN brand mean zilch right now. The fact they are in the AAC and have the NCAA investigating them is what makes this job unattractive to a coach like Hurley who'll have much better options. I'm not saying he'll be at URI forever, but at this point in his career you'd have to think he's looking for a much better opportunity than what the UCONN job is offering. There's not much difference between the programs and conferences at this point in time.

Plus...job 1 would be to recruit guys capable of beating the women's team on the same campus...

If Dan leaves he owes uri nothing in terms of what he promised.It is the most backward of complements but at a school like uri, the highest complement you can be paid is that everybody wants your coach. I will say as much as I am getting pumped for this game in an hour, trolling uconn fans on Twitter is equally entertaining. Anytime uconn feels like they are *just* another New England state school, the better for us.

You are greatly over-estimating the relationship between Hurley and "Zags"

Totally agree with that. This can't wait two weeks or so?

Cooley's name is also being mentioned like I have said before I think both Hurley and Cooley are way to smart to get caught up in that dumpster fire.

OK real reluctant to bump this thread with Hurley talk but I believe Dan will wait for a Tobacco Road job. Perhaps a Big 10 or Big 12 blue blood. Yep I’m talking UNC, NCState, Kansas, Indiana etc.

Last job move. I don’t see that job open at present.

I further strongly believe that he will be in direct competition with Ed Cooley for that dream hoops job. It would be difficult for me to pick between the two.

That’s it from me.

Re Cooley to UConn tho I would love it if it happened there is no way he would make that particular move to create the level of resulting hatred from his home state.

Johnny Damon, Wade Boggs type hate.

Even if it was a plum job no way.

I believe Cooley and Hurley are in pretty much the same place.

Now I’m really gonna focus on Rhody hoops!

His name (Schmidt) has been associated with Pitt. He has connections to the area as he coached at Robert Morris in metro Pittsburgh for six years and met his wife, a local native, when he was there. Still has family on his wife's side there.

Ahh, I figured it was strange that I don't remember seeing his name for any openings. He seems too good to not be in demand. Thanks.

College Game Day just discussing the Ollie firing and the only candidate they mentioned was Hurley. They also mentioned the Georgia job is opening up. Not sure if geography works, but that would seem to be a much better job than UCONN or PITT.

Didn't we lose a coach to Georgia once before???

Sorry. I've just seen it happen too many times, after 78(Kraft sickness), 88 and 98. For once, I just want it to last for a while. If there is another prolonged period 'til it happens again, I'll probably be dead. At least I will be stress free.

Hey All,

Let me start by saying great game yesterday. You guys have built something special. I think you have the talent to make an impressive run in the NCAA tourney this year.

In regards to the coaching carousel, as a VCU fan we can definitely relate. It seemed like a yearly thing for us and it was frustrating as heck to see people talking about our coaches leaving. Its unforunately the nature of winning. The more success you have the more schools will be gunning for your coach.That said , I hope you keep your coach. Him staying is good for the conference as a whole.
We at VCU all thought Shaka would stay forever. The guy did interviews saying he was happy here. His wife was very involved in the community and they just had a little girl. He turned down countless offers from P5 schools. Then out of the blue he takes the Texas job. Then with Will Wade we all figured he would be around for atleast 5 years, but then the guy took a job with a school whose AD was considered a lot worse then VCU. It just made no sense. Not to count that most coaches who move up from VCU dont seem to do very well. That still didnt stop these guys from leaving.

I say that to say this. Enjoy the ride. Dont try to read the tea leaves. Because the only people who truly know if he stays is him an his family. Regardless if Hurley stays for 30 years or 3 months. You the fans are what makes Rhode Island successful.

Good luck in the tourney

Some similarities with this season and Hurley’s previous best season as a college coach (2011-12), prior to this one: 25-6 overall, 15-3 in conference.

In the NEC, that didn’t even get them an NIT bid.

In all honesty UConn is not a good job. First off, there's obviously issues with potential sanctions. Second, they're in probably the 7th best conference in the country with some lousy schools who have little chance to ever compete (while there's no Fordham, good luck with schools like Tulane and East Carolina). If you're going to move up from the A10 and you are an in-demand coach, moving up maybe 1 level of conference is basically a lateral move. Third, Storrs is in the middle of nowhere. Fourth, and maybe most importantly, you have very little chance at ever becoming a true success at the school. You're always going to be compared to Calhoun, they already won 4 titles recently, so what are you going to accomplish? Either you win quickly or the alumni and boosters will get impatient and you'll end up like Kevin Ollie (Ollie was in trouble way before any of the recent news hit).

I can understand Hurley leaving. If he goes to Pitt or Georgia then good luck to him. But I'll be extremely disappointed if he goes to UConn. It would feel like a slap in the face that he sees a school like Connecticut, with all the issues that I highlighted, to be that far superior to URI.

I've been saying what Lappas is saying here for a while - since rumors first started percolating a month or so ago that UConn might try to weasel out of paying Ollie by saying they were firing him for cause. I'm including Pender's reply just because he is Tom Penders.

Also, the UConn alumni in the basketball world don't seem to be very happy with the state of affairs. Basketball alumni basically openly calling for them to shutter the dumb football program lol. That place is a mess.

Let's hope he is like Mark Few sure worked out for him

Good points. To sum it all up Hurley’s market value is well above UCONN. Their fans may not want to recognize that but it is what it is.
He is Mid to upper level P5. And the scandals resonating in the College Basketball world have only made a guy like Dan Hurley stand even higher above the crowd of potential candidates.
His market value continues its upward trajectory.
My hope is he stays, my expectation is he stays.
As always, URI Administration needs to follow his requests because everything he touches turns to gold. Build the practice facility and a nice one. Raise assistant coaches salaries. Raise support staff salaries. Do everything he requests. Look at VCU and Dayton, powerhouse perennial A10 Basketball schools reeling from coaching departures. You lose kids to transfers, you lose kids in recruiting. Not just the 2018’s but also the kids you were recruiting for 2019 and 2020.
There is a big cost to having to start anew.
Time to pony up for all requests because this guy knows the way. Follow his lead. He has his players ready to step up and freshmen to step in next season to accommodate the departure of 5 great seniors
All will be fine. Enjoy Sunday and the NCAA Tourney.

Rhode_Island_Red · Unread post by **Rhode_Island_Red** » 6 years ago

If money was all that mattered, Hurley would have left after last season. Every time another school has come sniffing around, he's always always gotten more money or years, but he's always gotten more for the program -- more for his assistants, for charters etc.

Besides, UConn is a crappy job. There's the investigation, not one but two dumpy home arenas, a spoiled-rotten fan base, an ill- conceived, ridiculously-expensive league in which they're trapped ...

The Leg-humpers need to get over themselves and take a long look in the mirror.

I think Pitt is just about right for DH's market value, which is a compliment. Pitt is a top 25 gig, in my opinion. Great basketball tradition, great league, and I would guess they aren't going to be cheap about the hire. Short of a few really great runs in the tournament, I don't think Dan would be on any list for the tier above PItt. He's not going to get a call from Louisville.

Really? I just think you would be hard pressed to come up with 25 better. They have played in 30 NCAA tournament games since 2000. They just made a bad hire and, frankly, rectified it really quickly. Maybe it's top 20...maybe it's top 30. Who knows? But, they play in the best league, pay well, have tradition, and recruit the northeast/mid-atlantic really well. I don't think DH ever gets a top 10 type job and he has turned down low P5 gigs like Rutgers. If he were to leave, which (again), I don't think he will, a program like Pitt would be the destination.

I like to think UConn isn't what it was and wont be again. But that is me. My gut has turned a 180 on this coaching stuff.

In reality, trying to disparage UConn is silly. They win national titles and recruit top players. MSG is a home court to them. The AAC has what? 3-4 teams dancing and that doesn't include recent dynasty UConn? League is not that bad.

Obviously it is a top job.

There are a ton of sources close to DH being mentioned. And things coming out in media articles that point to him being interested. I mean Jim C was with Dan this summer. They offer 3x times what he makes now and? He can jump into Calhoun's shoes. Live near Storrs and come back to their house in RI in the summer for whatever his wife likes about it. Obviously Calhoun is doing it.

I bumped into a UConn booster at a baby shower and he stared at my hat. Then he went into detail about potentially taking DH. This was a month ago. At the time I just thought ah whatever I hope not, "they cant can Ollie."

I also think it is a natural transition with the graduating class. Even tho there has to be a pull to stay with Dowtin/Cyril/Fatts.

Sanctions aren't even what they used to be. UNC has been rife with scandal since Hansborough's mom was using funds for vacations. Nothing. Nothing that bad will happen.

USED to be a top job.

they havent won a thing since the Big East, and haven't recruited top players without the Big East behind them.

the 2014 title was with Big East recruits, not AAC.

MSG is not a home arena for them anymore.

the AAC has 3 dancing, same as the A10 in a down year. you mention UConn adds more dancing for the AAC...well what does perennial powers Dayton and VCU rebounding do for the A10's dance card?

your post sounds as delusional as the ones over at the Boneyard claiming they have their choice between Matta and Donovan. this isnt your dad's UConn anymore. What you are seeing is a once great program slide into mediocrity with no grace.

3. they just ran said coach out of town on a rail only 4 years removed from a national title
4. the program itself is on the fast track into the toilet
5. they're bleeding recruits and players

yeah, that's a good opportunity for Dan to go and have the relationship and family atmosphere he wants...

Nevermind the fact that Dan's future job prospects are bigger than a UConn. Shaka went to Texas, Archie went to Indiana, Dan is a top half P5 level

Non conference SOS (kenpom) is #67. Tell me what you think the five best wins are. I posted after last season very positively about DH. You can look it up since you are so obsessed. My opinion on him has changed. It's OK to change in life as you take in experience. I thought he was going to bounce from URI as soon as he could. I was wrong. I thought losing Preston and Bobby would hurt his recruiting. It did for a few years until this class but this is a good one. I still hate his sets in big spots and, probably, what will cost URI a deep run. But the fact that there is a run to be discussed is a testament to him. I just got tired of typing the same stuff over and over replying to weirdos like you.
