Re: The Official - URI’s NEW Head Coach Thread....
jersey joe....would love to know the name of that coach....lol
But like I said, if Cox was the guy all along why even bother to interview people...do what Xavier does and promote from within without any pretenses?
Keeping all in suspense, especially the recruits, is not a good look.

Either you trust the roles and decisions of Dooley and Thorr or you don’t.
The state rules require the process we are going through, according to some recent pain I have had to endure in training.
X is private Jesuit school
My personal POV is Thorr is an aggressive AD who is looking to win. Getting Dan was not a sure thing back in the dark days, but he closed the deal with the best the school could afford and available. Dooley has helped improve the academics of the university and maintain and even grown enrollment in a difficult market as the pool of New England high schoolers shrink. Both know basketball value to URI is far beyond tix sales, and know this is critical to keep rolling. I have faith the two working together will look out the best for the program.

I mean this board is having a crazy night, which is to be expected.. but can we get a conference? Mainly because I am curious and nosy and would find this much more fun to discussjersey Joe wrote:last week a high major coach who doesn't feel the love anymore from his administration as his program has gone a bit stale (but still makes the NCAA every year) had his agent reach out to Rhode Island. smart idea by this coach to stay ahead of the curve and possibly land at a place where he can win right away. agent was told "no thanks". kind of surprising considering this coach's rep, accomplishments, cleanliness, that he wasn't even considered. this told me 100%. that D Cox was gonna be the coach. if the job were truly "open" there's no way your AD doesn't look at this particular coach. so there's been some oddness to it from my perspective. Becker and Dooley? cmon. no chance

DC_Rams, if you think life is tough now wait until you have a wife and kids. when the wife screams "instead of posting about Rhode Island basketball why don't you earn more than 45k a year!!" it will really get under your skin.
Iggy, I found the email, but it's from a guy who still posts here, I will gladly share it with you privately but am not out to embarrass this guy on the board. he said "Joe, ignore Iggy he doesn't like new posters' hahahah. omg, grown men who have opinions about the newness of message board posters. this should be a feature film

steep decline indeed....if we still had the politics thread we'd really see how far things have fallen....
Just have to wait until the posting ends, no need to interview anyone....and X doesn't have to even do that, they aren't a state school.
Private schools can do whatever they want.

Here is my email to Jersey Joe. You are an idiot. You aren’t a URI fan.
When the coach is announced this week you can leave and come back to troll in 6 years again.

So this puts to bed any chance of there being any truth to the Pitino rumor. No school is going to go this far to deny something that might have any truth to it.

For what it's worth, I had also heard there were talks with Pitino. Saying there has been no conversations with Pitino is not really saying much. Because just like Hurley, Pitino is letting his agent have those discussions. So based on what I had heard I actually do believe SOME of Jersey Joe's source. I'm not sure it got so far as an offer though. That part seems far fetched IMO, I doubt there'd be talk of an agreement before Dooley giving his approval.

Re: The Official - URI’s NEW Head Coach Thread....
I've had a truce with Iggy for some, I don't know, 15 years, but before that, if you said anything at all that he didn't like or agree with, he would tackle you on sight. He's super aggressive. He's not the nicest person going, but it's ok. I come from an Italian family, we overlook a lot. Swearing is caring.
He does have a legitimate source, which I have given him credit for in the past. But apparently that doesn't carry a lot of weight with him, if you put a freakin toe out of line, he comes after you like the sentinel.

Don't worry about it j, most people don't do reading comprehension anymore. All they remember at this point is that you dared to wish for a full search for a new coach and that you had reservations about hiring a coach with the goal of keeping recruits. They missed the parts where you actually have read others, considered their thoughts and stated that you are coming around on the idea of Cox as head coach. I've been behind a Cox hire right along but I dared to speculate what slick could offer, so I'm a slick guy.jcru wrote:What the hell did I do?

I appreciate it, RR. Now, of course, like an ameoba, I probably just absorbed your account as well. Anyone who dares even talk to me who isn't a moderator is accused of being me, these days.
Strange times indeed.
I know certain people hated the old Projo boards because they couldn't control the narrative at all times. I'm talking about Iggy and the like, sure, but who I am really talking about is whoever Iggy's source is. They want one narrative, one direction, at all times. What you just witnessed tonight, is actively controlling the narrative. I've never seen URI, for instance, officially denounce a rumor like they did tonight on the official website. That's Big.
