Win 4 but even then people will knock him down a peg since they wil lsay Calhoun's job was bigger since UConn was nothing before JC came in. Maybe if he win 6 it makes it a little easier to decide.
Four in a row, six in eight years and then there would be an interesting debate.
I think for me, at minimum he’d have to win more than Calhoun.
Since the 1980s every coach who’s ever coached here has won a NC. And 2 have won multiple.
Cant really compare 30+ years of success with 6 years of which 2 were utter dominance. Lets not forget his first 4 seasons were a bit rough which was to be expected.
Calhoun built UConn from nothing. Nothing. And he did it when the big east was dominated by giants. And he built it into a national power, 3 chips to his name and a 4th that he should honestly get credit for. Best program building job ever. That will never be replicated by anyone.
Forget those, we could have been UMass or URI.
He'd have done a helluva lot more with the talent Pitt had than Capel did. Six years in given what the ACC looks like, a league championship, an EE and maybe even a FF, which has eluded PItt since forever.
I don't like doing this because Calhoun built the program from a regional program into a giant and in turn helped build the school into something much better than it used to be but Hurley just did something the past two season Calhoun never dreamed of. Best two season run of the modern era. Calhoun never even made it out of the first weekend after winning the title.
