Hurley could have Pitt a national top-25 program in 3 years, tops.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
After the Duke game Dan said he hadn't given one second's thought about another job and could give two craps about any other job openings. He also said he was going to hibernate for a few days. We know the latter didn't happen if he met on two different jobs on Monday.
If he hadn't given a second's thought about another job until at least Sunday, how could he possibly make a decision to uproot his life and family in two days? If that happens, then I would have to think these openings have been a distraction over the last couple weeks. No way anyone makes those life altering decisions so quickly.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
Looking forward to one of these two conversations with non-Rhody fans:
If Hurley leaves: "URI will never be committed to being a perennial contender, they'll never compete with the big boys, etc."
If Hurley stays: "I can't believe the state is spending $X on a BASKETBALL COACH"

Re: The Coaching Carousel
Pitt allows 2-3 years of absolutely zero pressure in the best conference in the game. Add in 25 million bucks and zero NCAA issues? I would 100% take it over UConn. Like URI when DH took it, it's a school with a very nice basketball tradition. You just have to be able to see the potential in things.Rhodymob05 wrote:Pitt is all money, nothing else.

As brutal as this waiting game has been, some of the replies posted within the last 20 mins here have been absolutely priceless and added some much needed comedy to an otherwise stressful situation. I was literally laughing out loud at my desk. Cooked, baked AND sliced. F'n classic.

Same guy who was on here apologizing for "thinking we were better than we really were" in so many words. Because we were all losing sleep at night, tossing and turning over how he could call himself a "collegehoops junky", yet be SO off base about our talent level. #clown

I agree with the other poster on CT living lately, definitely gone downhill. Particularly east of the river as the insurance companies are leaving Hartford and the engineering jobs are leaving the state.

Doesn't seem like he'd wanna go somewhere and lose for two years.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
It's possible that I could be wrong, but if collegehoopsjunky is correct, that would mean Hurley made a deal with UConn before talking to the URI administration. Does anyone who knows him think that he would operate that way?

I worked in marketing at Bose for 8 years and the statement above is unfortunately true. Not to the extent of Beats "destroying" Bose, but they certainly did take considerable market share away from us with an inferior product but an exponentially larger advertising budget, as well as buzz from entertainers and athletes. At least Bose was smart enough to pay to become the official headphones of the NFL.bigappleram wrote:Thank you Sandman. Bose makes a superior headphone. But Beats by Dre has destroyed them in the marketplace, why is that? Marketing. The product actually sucks.sandman012 wrote:I dont agree.

Duke, Carolina, Indiana, UCLA, Syracuse, Arizona, Kansas, Gonzaga, etc arent brands because they are on billboards or plastered on bus stops. They are brands because they win and are seen/covered more nationally.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
Was Dan headed TO URI or AWAY from it? lol
Been reading this thread from NJ the last few days. Some really crazy shit.
Thorr and Dooley have to have known this was coming....if Moore and Calhoun were talking to Dan...you think they would have been aware of it?
Anyway, it looks like URI will try a Hail Mary to keep Dan......no enhancements were offered after last season? That's not good, and may be a big reason why Dan is really looking hard at offers this time around.
It's going to take a huge commitment to keep him now.

Boy, Goodmans tweet makes everything even more confusing. I hope he is wrong on this one hahah. Based off of what he tweeted, not meeting up with Thorr yet, would possibly mean another day or two of all this. This is like the ultimate cliff hanger destined for extreme emotion one way or the other.
