I said it. I don't want him. The guy just doesn't seem likable. Actually, quite the opposite. He seems like a Cronin. I want to be able to enjoy watching Kentucky basketball and respect the coach. We're just getting away from a coach that's insufferable, and if things went south with Hurley, it'd be the same think skinned snarky crap again. Let's not sell our souls to the devil. Just my opinion. You can have yours.
I don't want Hurley
- Thread starter SemperFiCat
- Start date
I see a young Pitino or Calhoun. Hell no, if he gets here and wins 2 titles he can call us whatever.
Agreed that he seems like a real d-bag. But I'd take him in a heartbeat.
This is the stuff that makes this fanbase a punchline
I like Hurley. Confident and backs up the talk with elite coaching.
I could care less about his personality. Winning covers up a lot of ****.
Cronin doesn’t have 2 titles? I get Hurley can be a little to much to handle, but he is by far the best option, but I respect your opinion it’s a different one lol
I don't plan on having him over for dinner. I do plan on watching UK win.
Odds are, you (OP) get your wish.
And regardless of who we do get, I'm certain it will not be a unanimous choice by all of BBN. But Hurley does seem like the most preferred candidate.
But even if we drop down to a candidate that <50% "want", I hope we all get behind whomever the new coach is giving him a fair and reasonable shot.

Not going to happen anyway. Guy just had a major platform to tell the basketball world that UConn runs this sport and he’s been right.
In terms of likability, Rupp had a great quote.
“I’d rather be the most hated winner than the most loved loser.”

I wondered how long it would take until fans decided they didn't want a guy wearing a backwards hat yelling "JERSEY CITYYYYY!!" as the head coach ....
I will never apologize for seeing the value of high character. If that's comical to you, so be it.
He can wear his UK 2026 champs hat backwards. And yell ''JERSEY CITYYY''. As long as he wins games.
Amazing.
People that would go for Beard or Pitino, don't want Hurley.
Because he SEEMS like a prick. While the other two for all evidence (anecdotal and otherwise) ARE ********, cheaters, and/or adulterers.
Hurley would fit perfectly here.

Well I want him..
But that attitude of his will spoil real fast if he ever is unable to deliver. And I'm not sure Hurley won;t get the same ref treatment as Cal does, in due time. People are going to hate Hurley VERY soon, whether he's at Uconn or UK or somewhere else.

And I doubt that most of us are going to be consulted about the hire.
I'd only be able to give two cents worth.
When did the world turn into such 
's. Man said mean words, I have to go Into a corner and cry now. Jesus, who cares if he's a dick head, if he wins games that's his job and he does that job extremely well.

This dude cried for a year that Cal should go because he can’t win and now doesn’t want a guy that only wins because of his personality.
As long as he's decent to OUR fans, doesn't get physical with people, or support complete Richardness in the players off the court, I'm good with whomever.When did the world turn into such
For those saying "WHo cares if he's an ***?"
And while I agree, ask yourself this question: would he be allowed to be an ******* like this at Kentucky? No, he wouldn't. We'd be crucified by media, loathed even more by non-UK fans, and murdered by the officials.

I said the same thing about Cindy Crawford in 97 when she turned me down. Mole faced loser. That’s all she was. Didn’t need that.
I want him over any other name mentioned.
However, I don’t like the fact that he walked to mid court during a timeout to trash talk Edey, JMO.

I'll actually take it one step further; the very ones saying "hiring an ******* is what we need" would eventually be the nastiest of BBN when the shine wears off Hurley and they want him gone.
Look, I'll still be happy with Hurley. Obviously the guy can coach. I'll be thrilled. I just also put value on things other than Ws and Ls, and know Hurley won't be golden forever. Folks just want to buy the shiny object. But as we now see with Cal, eventually the bill comes due.
I don't understand the logic of these posts.
So you want a guy like Scott Drew that may make 1 final four appearance because he's a nice guy.
And you don't want Hurley because of him being a potential *******? But yet, obsessed with winning?
It's about the job you do. ******** get hired every day. You're not directly working under or for the next coach so why do you care?

My perfect solution would be to get Billy D and beat Hurley. Perfect script in my opinion. Top him, not get him because he’s on top.
I would take Hurley in a second.
Being impetuous is often the mark of a strong character. And misunderstanding that is often the mark of a weak character. I don’t want an insufferable chronic pathological narcissist like Cal but I have no interest in having a princess at the helm.

You should have seen her before she cleaned herself up. A buddy of mine saw her out and about when he was at NIU in the late 80s. He said she wasnt the prettiest girl in town back when he was in school, but she was alright looking. Couldn't get into NIU though, so she couldn't have been too bright. She was at Kishwaukee (sp?) Community college then.
