Disagee, Rutgers is never going to be competitive in the Big 10, barring a truly marquee hire. Danny was just ensuring his financial security.

Sorry, I meant 'competitive' for Rutgers.

That's fine. You're forgiven. Is this handle Darren's RedStormRising? If so hope you're well.

Nope, I'm Dan from NJ, I'm the one in the Redmen FF league. For what it's worth, I hope Darren is well too.

Well, Dan H. I guess I never knew your screenname. Next year the FF crown is MINE. Ps Mike I'll send you the $20 even though I didn't get to go to the game Fri night.

Bobby would be a great hire. He is my first choice if we give Lavin the boot.

Archie Miller first, Then Danny Hurley (because he has coached at a higher level) then Bobby. But, I would take Bobby in heartbeat if it came to that.

Yeah, if we hired any of the following, we might just retain Sampson.

Bobby Hurley
Archie Miller
Danny Hurley
Ben Howland

I do think this is a realistic list......meaning I could see these guys coming here.

IMO we don't need to worry about losing Sampson, or which coach is coming here, since making the tournament pretty much guarantees Lavin the final year of his contract. If not an incentive laden extension. FWIW NO BEN HOWLAND!

You should add Lou Carnesecca's name. He is still ambulatory and still talks in riddles like Lavin although with Louie it may be the dementia setting in.

Lol....I'll agree to no Howland, if you can agree to no Masiello.

If Lavin is fired or resigns then call them all, first one to call back gets hired. Forget about waiting to see who else calls, or you could lose the one who did call to another school.

You must have served on the last three search committees because that about summarized our hiring methodology. Final Four.....Out.....here we come!

lol well then there's always the chance that Billy boy resigns from uf and comes back home, we couldn't go wrong with him right (back to back titles.). Ahhh give him 3.5 per year, don't complain, if you want a sure winner then pay top dollar.

I went to the A10 Tournament on Friday. I really thought Danny was going to get ejected from the game. He was going nuts on the sideline. Think he got one Tech (announcer only said it was issued to RI bench). He has recruited some nice players to RI.

Bulletin: URI and Danny lost to Dayton.
This board would have complained about the players he recruited since most were 2 and 3 star players except for ED Mathews and Biruta, the biggest reason for his success at URI fell into his lap from the Rutgers shakeup. He could possibly recruit better on the bigger stage. Time will tell.

Yes, SJU fans will always find something to complain about. Jared Terrell is also a nice player for RI. Glad they lost today. I really enjoy watching the Dayton team play. IMO, Dayton would be a great place to catch a game someday.

Its not like we haven't been given much to complain about over the 15 years or so.

Exactly. Kudos to Dan Hurley for getting Rhody on positive track. came up short to another well coached team, but prospects are great for next season with another solid class coming in. If Matthews stays, they should dance in 16. To idiots who jump on folks praising another coach, relax. This has nothing to do with Steve Lavin.

Bobby also did a solid job obviously, Sons of good coaches like the Millers & Hurleys are well schooled & most often succeed.

 

[MarkRedman]

Schools are going to come knocking for Hurley and he will leave. He is currently making less than $400K.

Rutgers will be the first to call. Seton Hall would if they could.
For those concerned about Lavin's salary consider they could hire Danny, Bobby and daddy for less than Lavin's salary but I have always felt an anti STJ attitude from the Hurley brothers.
Btw, the title of this thread would make a great name for a cough drop. Cough, cough.

The rumor on the Rutger's board at the time of the Jordan hire was that Danny Hurley was offered a lucrative package, but Danny Hurley would not take the job with out a 7 year contract with a larger by out. FWIW, the rumor was 7 years 12MM

If this is true Danny Hurley is a realist, it would certainly take that amount of time to get Rutger's competitive in the Big 10.

Part of Rutgers' problem is that they don't pay their coaches a competitive wage
Their athletic budget is deep in the red
They won't get an equal share of Big Ten money for several years
Their new President could care less about athletics
Their A.D. is a joke
Jordan was offered less than 1M/yr but held out and got slightly more than that
He is either at or very close to the bottom of the Big Ten in salary
So is their head football coach, Kyle Flood

Please keep Ben Howland away from St John's
There's a reason why he's been sniffing all over for a job and doesn't have one

Paultzman, you are a great source of breaking media chatter regarding St. John's but let's be crystal about something and that is that those "idiots" praising other coaches here on a St. John's fan forum are doing it to stick it to Steve Lavin and to those that try to stay positive and objective about his past and future. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH STEVE LAVIN. By calling them idiots you are taking a page out of the Maven's playbook and you are above that.
URI and the Hurley boys in particular have zero to do with St. John's and the Big East. They have zero connection to St. John's. So why any interest in them if not to speculate if in their "rise" to fame, as defined by a few discontented St. John's fans, they could replace Steve Lavin as coach? Their meteoric rise is coming in their 40's. In contrast Steve Lavin was 32 when he was hired as head coach at the most storied program in college basketball history and by age 38 had taken his teams to 5 sweet 16's including a final 8. In short, in 10 years of full time coaching at the highest level, not URI not Buffalo, he will have taken his teams to 7 NCAA tourneys.
Not meaning to put you in the category of Baldi/Barksdale/Gonzo/Maven etc but it is selection Sunday and to have a thread here on a St. John's fan forum about 2 guys that have yet to accomplish anything at the highest level of college basketball is, in your words, idiotic.

Smart of you to recognize I am an independent thinker. I know you strive to be contrarian lately & get off with your attempt at humor photos, but frankly I will post how & when I want. I started thread yesterday knowing today is "sacred" because I found article potentially interesting to folks. You are right on my "idiots" reference, so I stand corrected on that. Not interested in a back & forth on this shit either.
