Wouldn’t this have to be pretty deep into closing a deal for UK reps to be in NY? A back and forth offer and a turndown can be done remotely.
Hurley offer rumor
- Thread starter jessieshorts8
- Start date
Apparently he was turning down 20 million per year. So not the brightest tool in the shed. Probably best that he didn't choose UK because UConn isn't going to pay him more than 10 million.
That’s an offer, I dig it.
He is a KY fan and Oral Roberts as he played gor them back in the dayIf your brother-in-law is a UK fan, we expect him to get busy!!
What I’ve said is all I know at the moment if I hear anything else I’ll post it
I hate that Adam Driver go stuck with such a ****** Disney writing team and directors for that POS trilogy. Kylo Ren could have been really good with the right story behind it. He’s a good actor too.
You guys need to understand. He’s not turning down 100 million. He’s turning down an 8 year weight around his neck. He doesn’t want a long contract. He wants to be in the nba eventually. Plus UConn will give him a sack too.
You'd take either for a fifth of that and be so over the moon that you'd still be grinning ear to ear when they fire you in a couple years.
Whelp. That was fun while it lasted. On to Donovan.
I thought you meant your wife and brother in law at first lol. I was like what?
you arent a uk fan are you? Mitch barnhart doesnt put those types of buyouts or hurdles into contracts. Hurley could coach 4 years and leave with no fuss .... just like cal left with nothing in his way to stop him. Hurley turned down UK because he knows our AD at UK is a pathetic pile of trash when it comes to his job people around UConn will do what it takes to make titles happen. Barnhart isnt willing to do what it takes to just keep UK good.
It's an all in gamble. To be honest I don't think it's smart to lock yourself in for that much money on a guy that could flame out for whatever reason. It makes him un-fireable.
Well. Can’t ***** at him not for trying.
agree. He's a phenomenal actor.
Keep us posted there Tomcat .. I'll buy ya a beer at Sandy's betting joint if you are correct .. but it looks unfounded , we shall see
We made him say no. Movin on.
Offering and he accepting is an apple and an orange. Understand the game and stop buying into every wild rumor out there.
Really all you can do is offer to all of the most qualified people and hopefully one decides this thing is worth taking on.
On a 35 game schedule that 12.5 million equates to 17,857 dollars per minute for 35 regulation games. I have a hard time grasping anybody making that much money for coaching a sport.
It's not ONLY about the money. Any coach Mitch is talking with is already wealthy enough compared to most other people. You need to sell them on the Job. If you listen to Cal's story he got sold the job at Arkansas. If Mitch can't sell the vision we will end up with a second tier wanna be Coach. I agree the coach has to want to be here but if you have ever had to hire someone from another job you have to make them want to be at new job especially if they are leaving a very comfortable situation.
I said on another thread a few days ago that it would take 7 years and $100 million to have
a chance at Hurley. I was told I was ridiculous but I'll still say that's what it will take. This is
2024 and coaches don't cost what they used to cost.
