Hate to say it, this is true. Danny is, by in large, full of shit if you look at the timing of things and the rhetoric he spoke late in the year. He "fulfilled his promise" of winning A10, getting us to tournament, and so on... so he feels no guilt leaving the program in the hands of Cox.
Fact is, though, Cox isn't a Hurley. He doesn't have Hurley connections throughout NCAABB -- we will likely have a nice couple years with the recruits coming in, if we don't lose them, then we go right back to mediocreville. Sorry guys, it's true. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.
See ya on the job market in 5, Dan. Some lessons need to be learned firsthand and the bullshit rhetoric that UConn administration is spewing to you about making a positive impact on young people is just that. Rhetoric. See what happens when you don't win. See what happens after you have that meltdown on the sideline like you did so many times here. Best of luck, bud. You'll need it.
I truly do wish him the best because unfortunately I feel as if the wool is being pulled over his eyes -- he was sold a chance to make a lasting impact on the landscape of college basketball. It won't happen. That stuff happens organically, you can't manufacture it. Maybe if we're lucky enough he'll come back after UConn fires him.
