Who would have tied Thorr's hands? The same person who untied them?Jersey77 wrote: ↑1 year agoRamster all I am saying is this wasn't going to be Hurley's final landing spot.ramster wrote: ↑1 year agoRespectively disagree 100%.Jersey77 wrote: ↑1 year ago
Once UConn came calling Hurley was going regardless of any enhancements that would have been in-place.
I doubt very much that URI was ever going to be his final destination.
Also, at the time not sure what Thorr would have been able to get done, don't think he had final say.
But even iff your are right and if Hurley was going to go regardless, then it makes even more sense for Thorr and Dooley to put their heads together and offer Hurley a strong pay and benefits package including a high quality practice facility. What did they have to lose if as you say Hurley was going regardless? Put on your poker face and bluff away. At least all could say Thorr and Dooley did all they possibly could to keep Hurley. As it played out they did too little too late and they know it.
Yes, we are all aware that the enhancements were long overdue.
We don't know if Thorr's hands were tied at the time, or about his efforts and lobbying in trying to get it done.
And yes, I am one of the many that agreed with the Cox hire.
Had Dr Parlange been in place at the time of the UCONN offer I think Hurley would have been much less likely to leave. Unfortunately we hired David Cox who had zero HC Experience. 5 years later we wait.
