You have to give the team credit but living in CT, I was able (or forced) to watch a bit of their victory parade since it was locally televised. Hurley got up to the microphone and his first words were “we’re gonna win this **** for a third time”with word **** emphasized. Then, out of all the merchandise you can buy, you have at least 1/5 of the crowd walking around with UConn shirts that say “F&$K” on chest. The local NBC station was doing their best to get the people with the shirts out of the live interview shots but it was just comical. Again, has nothing to do with Rutgers but just worth noting that there’s still an image there . I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.
UCONN Victory Parade
- Thread starter colonel_rutgers
- Start date
If they didn't burn anything down or destroy anything - guess you can also call that a victory.
5 students were arrested on Championship night. They threw a speed limit sign through a full glass window and almost hit a cleaning crew. They also had their norm of climbing buildings and Gampel.
Don't think Pike or Schiano would ever act that way. They have class.
Hes a great coach but a classless punk
Fans of elite programs only care about winning championships.Hurley is a very demanding head coach who also has a big ego telling the media time and again how great the UConn basketball program is and the players prove him right.There are very few head coaches that have won two straight national championships.
It would be beyond sweet if, (and that's admittedly a big IF), the stars align for RU this upcoming season, and with the additions of Ace, Dylan, et.al, we end up meeting them in the championship game and take 'em down. -THAT would shut Hurley and his ego up, (at least for a while anyway).
Let’s not get too anti-Hurley. Seems like he’d be the prime target if Pike ever leaves.
Of course he can. He simply chooses not to. But whatever — he wins so he’s bullet proof.
Not at all. Hurley loves Jersey. Can imagine a scenario where he comes home.
But I don’t want that scenario to happen because I love Pike and want him to go into an offseason preparing to defend back to backs.
But you’ve gotta admit, he’d be the first call if Pike, for any reason, wasn’t here.
Relax, I’m simply saying it’s not out of the realm of possibility. You know what could happen in 5 or 10 years?
After maybe a few down years or when UConn forgets that winning the natty isn’t a realistic expectation.
By then, we will be able to pay top dollar for a head coach. Top notch facilities and renovated RAC.
I want Pike here until he retires from coaching - FFS, he’s the only reason this is an attractive job. I love Pike. I’m more worried about him being poached rather than him failing.
But it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Hurley could want to be minutes away from family in the state he clearly loves. Plenty of other elite coaches at top schools have needed a change of scenery. Cal?
He’s not ever leaving UConn. He wasn’t even slightly interested in Kentucky, he isn’t coming home to coach his alma mater, and he certainly isn’t leaving to coach Rutgers. He already sits on top of the college basketball world. He’s content to reset the standard there.
Hurley has stated that he will stay at UConn for college coaching but would consider the NBA in later years.
He's gonna have to tone down his antics in the Association. NBA players won't put up with his nonsense antics on the court.
This. He is a Jersey guy and I am confident if the opportunity came knocking he would jump on kt.
Is there such a thing as TOO anti-Hurley for Rutgers fans.
Maybe under a scenario he gets canned from UConn or is forced to resign. He could resurface at a lesser program like Rutgers
I don’t see him as an NBA coach (Knicks maybe). He’s just too good at the college game.
Wait till someone says " Rutgers should hire Bobby Hurley , if Danny won't come"
G-d help usWait till someone says " Rutgers should hire Bobby Hurley , if Danny won't come"

Bobby was a better player than coach.
Yeah, it’s been a pretty unimpressive run that seems to be in a death spiral now.
