Heard it through the Grapevine, Bob Hurley Sr is Hobbs choice.

I would offer Boyle double his salary in Florida to be a assistant coach at Rutgers regardless who is hired as head coach.He has the recruiting contacts nationwide and his teams have been national high school powers.Rutgers can't recruit and that won't change by just changing head coaches.A difference maker is required and he would be a excellent assistant to Sendek and later down the road ,the choice to be head coach at Rutgers.Its the right process to turn the program around.

I don't think Boyle would do "assistant" well.

I find it pretty funny that everyone is so against Boyle but was for Hurley. There's not much difference between the two. Hurley made the jump and everyone thinks he's a god. Boyle can make the jump too. Essentially, Hurley is Boyle a few years removed, but Boyle recruits better.

There is definitely a difference in perception...usually in favor of the Hurleys. I'm not saying it's justified but it exists.

Didn't Boyle bolt NJ right before the state was about to drop a hammer on him for a bunch of illegal practices or something?

I'd be very, very disappointed if Boyle is hired as Head Coach. Sorry. This will be Gerry Faust but with "probation" within 3 years.

Boyle would be a tremendous hire. This guy was a relentless player and is a relentless coach. The reason why he is a "HS" coach (Which let's face it, he really is much more than that) is because none of the smaller level schools that would be logical options, can afford him. If I were him, I sure as hell wouldn't take a compensation cut to go low level D1. Boyle will bring a level of talent here that we have very rarely seen. Fantastic hire, if it falls in place. And good for him with the intensity. If he can keep from throwing objects and homophobic slurs, he can yell all he wants.

I've been told that one of the things Boyle benefits from at MVA is having his wife working in the admissions office. According to the person who told me this, that enables him to get pretty much whoever they want admitted.

I personally love coach Boyle. My concern would be that many of the advantages that he currently enjoys at MVA he won't have in the NCAA.

His recruiting and amount of practice time would be much more regulated. The admission thing particularly with regards to international kids.

His son is a walk-on at UCF & the worst kept secret is that he covets the UCF job

Exactly on point. On his worst day, Boyle out recruits Hurley. Let's do this

It's in this thread somewhere. I tried to merge some similar threads to clean up the board a bit.

Not a rousing endorsement

Haven't heard any updates. Last I heard was that it wasn't Hurley, which I was right about. Keep in mind that I was also the first one to bring up Boyle several weeks ago and was laughed at. Also was the first to bring up Williams too, but I admitted that I heard he was interested in joining the staff, not being the HC.

At this point, I honestly probably won't hear much since my "source" is probably no longer getting info.

It's not Hurley because he turned the job down

I'll also toot my own horn and say that I mentioned Kenny Payne a few weeks ago as a candidate and it looks like the press is picking up on it now. You wonder if they're getting their stories from these boards.

Anyone who says a high school coach is qualified to coach the X's and O's of a college team does not know basketball very well

Boyle would be ground zero on this

And I said this about bob Hurley sr for the past 25 years

Boyle as an assistant. Yes!

Head coach...not without college experience

Because everything changes completely at the college level? There are four buckets to shoot at instead of 2? To me, you're either a good coach who can recruit, or you're not.

do the x's and o's change from major high-level high school basketball to college to even the pros? NOPE. It's 5 v 5 with tremendous athletes. At the high school's he's coached at his tops teams are basically like coaching college players

No way it's Boyle or J Williams. No way. There's no way Hobbs would risk his reputation on a decision such as this. As assistant coaches for 1 of them maybe.....but no way as HC
