Obviously you know I am very bothered by this hire. But I'd like to have it concrete about what expectations and timeline are before someone would acknowledge that it's a failure or a success?

Serious question. What team are you actually a fan of?Obviously you know I am very bothered by this hire. But I'd like to have it concrete about what's expectations and time before someone would acknowledge that it's a failure or a success?
---Serious question. What team are you actually a fan of?
2nd question - how old are you?
Did you know that Hurley came to UConn with a tourney record of 2-4 and had a losing season his first year there. And the second and third weren't much better. What if they gave him 3 years and fired him? Answer - they wouldn't have these last two championships.
How about taking a deep breath and waiting until about Jan 1, 2025 before you add your next complaint or slam to this board?
Were you calling for Cal to be fired in 2018?I expect a final four minimum by year 3 or time for a change.
Like from whom. The school? No one has ever done that and no reason to start now. The fans? Who cares.Obviously you know I am very bothered by this hire. But I'd like to have it concrete about what's expectations and time before someone would acknowledge that it's a failure or a success?
And Billy might have gotten 3 if he hadn't been such a train wreck off the court.Like from whom. The school? No one has ever done that and no reason to start now. The fans? Who cares.
Mitch gave Billy two years. He gave Kyra 4 because she won the tournament. He will pull the trigger quick and he gives time. I'm not super concerned this will go too long if it doesn't meet standards.
Hurley had a losing season his first year at UConn.Two years. When this starts going off the rail, and it will, the fans won't be able to take it and someone will actually step in and do what's needed. All of the "I'll give him 3 years" people will be off the bus if this team doesn't win a tournament game next year.
"Other than not winning a tournament game" lolAnd this is why you cant get the so called "guy" to coach here. Dude hasn't even set foot on campus and you all are already talking about the negatives, when can we get rid of him etc.
Other than he hasn't won an NCAA tournament game, why can't he be successful here???
Offensive or defensive philosophies, recruiting, what is it???
I see a coach who plays the modern style, spacing, shoots the 3, lay ups, not much in the mid range. Looks like he develops guys. He won at Kansas last year , beat Baylor., beat San diego State, NC State, has been on the big stage. Have you even watched a minute of his teams play???
He loves UK, not the NBA, that what you all wanted. You wanted a more traditional roster, thats what he has/uses. You said about the other coaching candidates , when they won where they were it was OK, but just wait when they get UK resources, they will really win big, so why doesn't that apply to him???
I love the hire, I think he checks all the boxes minus the NCAA resume.....Loves UK, fun style, strong xs and Os(OB plays/sets etc) solid defensively, develops players and a functional roster and not the constant turnover, will put UK first and not the NBA(agents), will embrace the fans.
---Solid by year three. In the hunt by year five. Less than that would not fly.
She got 4 years because she won an SEC tournament?? Good God.Mitch gave Billy two years. He gave Kyra 4 because she won the tournament.
Hurley had won TWO before the last 2 seasons, and those were both 1st round games at RI, ZERO at UConn. You don't think he can win here, tell me why, whats in his coaching DNA that will cause him not to be successful??"Other than not winning a tournament game" lol
Other than not being able to do the most important thing for this job he's great!
Yeah we hired the next Danny Hurley.. I'm sure.Hurley had won TWO before the last 2 seasons, and those were both 1st round games at RI, ZERO at UConn. You don't think he can win here, tell me why, whats in his coaching DNA that will cause him not to be successful??
I’ll save you the suspense…Pope is not Danny Hurley. Stop f*cking acting this is a grand slam hire.Hurley had won TWO before the last 2 seasons, and those were both 1st round games at RI, ZERO at UConn. You don't think he can win here, tell me why, whats in his coaching DNA that will cause him not to be successful??
Pope is making top 10 money, Hurley wasn’t. He needs to produce quicklyHurley had a losing season his first year at UConn.
I just don’t understand why people are trying so hard to hype this up as a good hire. It’s not and he’s nowhere close to Danny HurleyYeah we hired the next Danny Hurley.. I'm sure.

Well, back then there was no NIL or transfer portal.Serious question. What team are you actually a fan of?

Yeah, we’re just gonna casually gloss over that one. 😂 Sure it’s why we wanted the last guy gone and now hired a guy who has literally never won a tournament game but no biggie, he went to Uk 30 years ago. That’s what matters."Other than not winning a tournament game" lol
