I’ve said it before: why not Bobby Hurley?

[Wonky]

Hear me out. He has the genes. He is just as fiery and competitive as his brother. He knows what championship level basketball looks like. He knows what a TEAM is.

There’s just one problem: he’s been stuck in obscurity on the west coast for a decade+. He’s in no man’s land out there.

Take a chance on this guy. You have to take chances. UConn did and look where they are now.

The same reason the rest of the NFL doesn’t want Mahomes little bro as their starting QB

Why not Brad Calipari?

He has the genes. He can't be any less competitive than his dad. He's just been stuck in obscurity at Vandy.

Now this is just going into a crazy bizzaro world. How many darts we got??

 

[Doodah859]

Why not Dick Fick?

Stupid analogy. You know nothing about the Hurley family to make this comparison.

i hope this is humor and not serious

In 11 seasons as a head coach he has never had less than 10 losses, has a career win percentage of 54% in a conference that is trash and never advanced out of the first round in 4 tournament appearances. I wouldn't want him as our student manager.

No worse than the original post. Mitch should be fired for hiring the other Hurley.

You know nothing about sports to imply that because they're related, he would be good. He's won ZERO NCAA tournament games. If the genetics make it so easy--why can't he win 1 NCAA tournament game? Maybe because it aint that simple.

[bleedingblue2767]

why not call some of Adolph Rupp's relatives. I'm sure one of them know something about basketball. That would be an absolute grand slam.

There are a million reasons this is a no…
But for giggles could you imagine the two hurleys going bonkers on the same court

Would force refs into retirement after that game.

How About Rajon Rondo?

 

[sundiver2k]

Why not Dick Fick?

While I would love that. He was an awesome guy. Got to meet him when I was in college. He's been dead for 21 years. But that might be an improvement over the success of late. LOL

How About Rajon Rondo?

Not as HC but certainly as an assistant.

I'll say it again: I still hate Laetner, and, by extension, Hurley and dUKe. Plus Bobby Hurley is not a good coach.

 

[Cat06]

Too much Duke. Solid NO from me and many more.

 

[UKFan32065]

He was pretty desirable after his 2 years with Buffalo, but he probably should have stayed another year or two until a better job opened up. He has been at ASU too long now and actually has more losing seasons than winning seasons. Going to be tough for him to ever get a high profile job.

That’s kind of what I’m saying though. This is a guy who was a big influence on Nate Oats, who everybody here wants. Arizona State is like purgatory. He should have never taken that job. When was the last time an east coast guy went to the western time zone and really succeeded?
