Hurley offered

[The_Catfather]

Zags could tell you the best 1974 Grateful Dead show without hesitation but doubt he's trustworthy with breaking news pertaining to Kentucky. But, he's pretty plugged in around NY/NJ.

Norlander or Goodman or someone like that will be the one announcing the hire. They know all the agents and get the info from them.

 

[track42]

Can someone post where this offer was confirmed? I’m seeing a lot of people post about it but I don’t see any proof

Jeff Drummond on HOB.

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

We shall see. Drew has been the obvious choice from the get go. I don’t love it, but it is what it is.

I’d rather accept it than be disappointed when we don’t get the long shot Hurley.

Again, I think it’s a silly comment to say Hurley is a ‘long shot.’ We’re Kentucky, not Tennessee

 

[ralphdaltonfan]

Zagoria has been out of the game for years. Ask @ralphdaltonfan his sources are sour.

I'm not a Zags guy at all but I'll be shocked if Hurley left UConn.

When did he say that?

This was during post game remarks, not now

We are really going to be stuck with Drew.Depressing.

You’re living in a fantasy land, my friend. You’ll see.

Bro you live in the middle of nowhere ky. Im just stating what the offer was no need to be pessimistic and if hurley is HC id like you to eat that crow

Even for a crazy amount of money??

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

Please explain

The only reason it makes sense is because he doesn’t want to leave that area. Kentucky is better at literally everything else. I’m not sure why that’s so hard for folks to understand

Why do you have to insult where I live? I don’t get it lol. I’ve not attacked you.

 

[TankedCat]

that is crazy money

UK is shitting itself about a $33m buyout but then throws $11m at a guy?

I can't make that make sense

well I guess they are spending that $33m aren't they

 

[IowaMuse]

This JD report is not news or remotely relevant.

His connections say money people ate prepared. to ensure an 11 million dollar a year offer for Hurley. The report doesnt say an offer has been made because Mitch would do that.

Mitch is making the decision. If bjs choice is Drew then the money people won’t be needed.

Hes not to bright. 11M over 7 is crazy money

Keith is a good source. Drew is who Mitch is focusing on.

He just won back to back titles there. He had family ties. Why would he leave? For a few extra million? Don’t think so. Plus Mitch is going after his pal Drew. It’s all quite simple.

Didnt want to give cal 11M when boosters hate him, giving money to back to back champ coach is way easier

 

[yoshukai]

I’m gonna make the most of it, personally. Fully support him. He was my 4th-5th option, but not the worst. Gonna let it play out

You are smarter than 99% of the people on this board.

Been trying to tell everyone. Only get attacked. Sorry it hurts feelings. Could be worse.

 

[jr40831]

MB has probably heard the equivalent of 'Go fly a kite' a couple times already, hence, Drew.

It’s business. UK felt that paying $33 mil for Cal wouldn’t net them any return. That’s a bad investment.

They feel like giving $77 mil or more to Hurley would net them potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s a good investment

 

[drcats2013]

Thanks. I truly wasn’t trying to ruffle feathers. Wanted people to temper their expectations. In turn I get made fun of due to where I live lol. You gotta love message boards. It’s why I rarely post anymore. Board is over ran with ignorance.

sounds like he either already said no or that was all a big hoax based on the Scott Drew posts

 

[Wildcats1st]

There's a lot of BS out there. I have a hard time believing some of the stories floating around. If Hurley is getting offers like that with an incentive, UConn is going to have a hard time keeping up.

He’s not getting an offer it’s smoke to make people happy. Barney wants drew and the mistake in all of this is Barney needed to go before cal.

 

[redbird51]

The point is Mitch is in talks with Drew. At least according to the best source at the moment. It’s also clearly who Mitch wants.

I’d bet $100 on Drew vs the field

I agree with you.

 

[bigbluedon]

It’s a lateral move at best. Not the guy worth running cal out for.

You can’t be serious. I would take Daffy Duck over Cal. Have you been watching the last 7 years?

Again, Kentucky is infinitely more prestigious than UConn with way more access to money, facilities, etc. To think otherwise is just silly

The only reason Hurley would not come would be because of the area

 

[Rockfly78]

Hurley shit I can’t figure out what’s going on

 

[The_Catfather]

There's a killer 74 show from Freedom Hall too.

 

[BlueRunner11]

Maybe see how Drew does first?

He’s got a 20+ yr coaching record to go by. Its right there in black and white to know how he’s going to do.

Basically the same thing the fans soured on Tubby and Cal for. Mitch is setting this dude up for a bad situation imo.

Whatever makes you feel better, man. Fact is, he ain’t coming.

 

[Lazlo7]

Hurley is a Northeast guy through and through and is peaking why would he leave all his lifelong friends and family. Not everyone sells their soul for money especially when he has plenty. It is a big ask and a pipe dream if you ask me. Not that I wouldn't love to see it happen.

Just like Few will never leave. When you are home and have plenty why leave everything behind for a little more.

 

[TFCats11]

What about Oats? Are we giving up on him?

A couple of reasons, one, the $18 million buyout to hire him away from Alabama, and two, he put out that message to the fans assuring them any rumors would be false, while secretly hoping UK would make the call so he felt like one of the big boys, and possibly get another raise.

Apparently Mitch put his jockstrap on correctly today, and is contacting the Whales on his short list to replace JVC.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Me neither all I can say is buckle up.
