Apparently you're in need of a lesson on what matters. I give a flying fuck why? They could put the biggest billboard the world has ever seen across the street from the Ryan Center and I wouldn't care so long as we keep Hurley.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
true, but if the school was properly funded by the state it could use the non state revenues that are being used to support the school itself for other things like athletics.

they could do so much more if they weren't forced to use private revenue sources just to keep the heat on.
and more importantly if they didnt have to get the budgets approved by those idiots in the Assembly even though the state doesnt pay for it. that's the real bulls**t issue.
its like if you as an adult had to get approval from your parents on every dime you spend even though you are independent and its not their money.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
agreed with all of that but I know how the back end works. You can fund base salaries to a degree with state funds. Everything else is privately funded - this is true of every other institution.Da_Process_Survivor wrote:true, but if the school was properly funded by the state it could use the non state revenues that are being used to support the school itself for other things like athletics.

We've never had a program that inspired donors to give in the post-2000 college sports landscape.
The 98 run got the Ryan Center built - it was 1/3 donors, 1/3 state, 1/3 bonds to be repaid. None of that happens without the donors.
Practice facility plans would need to be at least 50% funded already by a Tom Ryan-esque donor who was willing to throw cash.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
I think URI is in a very difficult spot here. If Hurley leaves, regardless of the reasons, they're going to be looked upon as the bad guy who isn't committed to winning. When in truth maybe Hurley just doesn't feel that winning in the A10 at the level that he wants to win at is sustainable.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
Why would you read their board? None of them are closer to the situation than anyone on here. As far as UConn views it - their offer is more money and more program investments than he could get at URI. Someone who values money turning that down would be SHOCKING. That's the source they're going on. They have a great offer out there that's worth more money than he makes here. That might make an offer "better" to a lot of people but that doesn't necessarily make it "better" to Dan.ElmCityRhody wrote:Uconn message board is now copying and pasting our posts....
EFF THEM
Everyone nationally assumes the same thing; that coaches go where there's more money for their salary.
No one knows anything about what is being discussed at URI or UConn and most importantly, no one on either board knows how Dan feels about it. Sources that are "close to Dan" or speaking to people "close to Dan" are full of shit and just trying to get scoop credit.
Dan and his agent aren't going to say anything because then they'd lose leverage. Dan and Andrea will keep things between them because they should. Thorr and Dooley aren't going to tip anything out either.
You're not going to learn anything from their board. Honestly you probably aren't going to learn anything here either lol.
I've just got faith in the people making the decisions at URI for once in my life - and I've got faith in Dan as a person and coach that if we do everything we can (and he is well aware of what we can/cannot do) that he will stay.
Once again, if Dan leaves it's on us. He never would've sat down with Thorr/Dooley in the first place with a request he knows URI can't fill. It'd have been a quick meeting where he stumps for Dave Cox to be our next coach and then it'd be good byes to players/staff and it would leak by then.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
I agree with Blue Man on this, that I have more faith in Thorr and Dooley to do everything they can and be creative in keeping Dan. I'm not saying it will happen and we may still lose DH to UConn, but it won't be due to an inept administration (like it was with Penders, Skinner, and Harrick). If it's possible to get done, it will get done. If not, then while it will be a step back, I trust they will also hire the right next guy, and like TP had said, we then make sure we keep building so that next guy is more apt to stick around, and so on. While we want DH to be the next Mark Few type guy, I think we'll all be more than happy if it works out that the next guy is. But man, I would love to see what DH can do with the roster over the next 2 years!

Re: The Coaching Carousel
Reading the boneyard thread is fascinating. it isn't really all the different then the thread here.. half the board up in arms with the other half the board saying chill.
UConn created the mess they find themselves in with the AAC versus ACC when they tried to stop the Big East football schools from going to the ACC. If UConn had played nice and waited, it probably would be in the ACC and I don't think it would even be a debate (unfortunately) if Dan should take the opportunity.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
This is just the narrative that has unfolded over the years but I don't buy it. The ACC was never taking BC and UConn and they were never taking UConn over BC. And the schools that came later like Syracuse, Pitt, and Louisville offer more, too. What does UConn offer when you have a BC/Cuse/Pitt group of teams? Football rules the world and UConn, even with a nice few years in there are just not at that level. It sounds great but they just were never in a position to grab an ACC or even Big12 WVU-type invite. Their high water mark will be the AAC or going back into the Big East and dropping football down. I guarantee that if UConn had more to offer, they would be in the ACC, whether they had once sued BC or not.urirx wrote:Reading the boneyard thread is fascinating. it isn't really all the different then the thread here.. half the board up in arms with the other half the board saying chill.

Re: The Coaching Carousel
I haven't thought about this from a PC fans perspective as to which they'd prefer. On one hand, if Hurley goes to UCONN, they will become a major threat to PC on the recruiting front, especially in the Northeast, and if he stays at URI and continues to build the program, the even shrinking gap between URI & PC becomes that much closer. If I'm a PC fan, I'd be pulling for Hurley to stay put at URI.Rhodymob05 wrote:Sup secretly spying UCONN and PC fans we know you're here. 254 guests are viewing.

Seems like consensus over there is still split, with maybe more leaning they want Hurley to stay at URI so they can watch the show on the BoneYard (UConn's board) after Hurley stays at URI. LOL, actually a good take from someone over there.
