Dan Hurley to UConn could be all about the money

[BaZZnBOAT]

Could you maybe enlighten us? From what I've seen, Hurley is a pretty good guy.

 

[Stainmaster]

Is this legit, or non-serious in-state rival trashing?

 

[tcf15]

Care to elaborate?

 

[olehead]

I thought so too...until I saw what constitutes "cause" under the collective bargaining agreement. Under his contract, it wouldn't cover anything like that. Under the union contract...just take a look at it.

Are these two legal counselors chopping it up?

 

[Lefty2one]

Wasn't EC Matthews crying after the Duke game and talking about how Hurley is a father figure to him?

Hurley is intense, you need it to be a good coach in any sport. This is also a fanbase used to Jim Calhoun. Unless you're bringing in a first-class butthead like Bobby Knight, nothing is going to bother us.

 

[Marat]

Perfect - similarities to JC.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Why would he embarrass the school? I've never seen any hint of scandal around him? Do you know anything about the guy we just fired? I mean come on.

 

[UCDaveD]

LMAO. I'm sold.

A closer look at Wednesday's incident between Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley and Maryland

 

[Stainmaster]

Hurley’s happily married and there’s no evidence of him going places he shouldn’t during the work week. That’s a huge improvement which all of us would sign up for.

"calling them a f ing f a g g o t"

If he did that and it wont surprise me if he did; He cannot be the next UCONN MBB COACH

 

[HuskyHawk]

You think 80% of college coaches at this level are single?

 

[Candyman]

Come on this board to throw shade on the probable future coach lol. I don't care what was said nor do I care about anything you say. Go back to your board and discuss how to advance in the tournament. How many NCAA games has your head coach won? But hey at least he didn't lose his temper after a game. Thats all that matters.

Waiting for the dust to settle could cost Ollie 10 mil. While I agree that it could hurt recruiting, a quick settlement is mutually beneficial. I doubt it's in KOs best interest to hold UConn hostage unless he really believes he will be vindicated and be owed the full buyout. That's a big if and one, if true, is a complete head scratcher and should cost AD DB his job as well.

Either of you could be entirely right or entirely wrong.
My feeling is that a buyout will be negotiated and what we are hearing now is all posturing. KO doesn't really want his job back nor do I believe he wants to trash recruiting. He just wants to get as much money out of his contract as possible.
UConn wants to hire his replacement and move on. Both parties will end up getting some of what they want and leave more money on the table than they prefer. Kind of like a divorce.

If you mean Quinerly or Carey I may faint at work. Ball is in your court.

Looking at 247, they're the only few that fit into his description.
