[Doc5120]

This guy is the worst!

 

[SimonSays]

i hate him. still have his bum looking face burned in my brain after he beat us in MSG? or brooklyn something like that

 

[sufandu]

He's got a point. I don't mind a coach giving it back to an oppposing fan.

 

[sutomcat]

Good for him. Does he know he is also bald?

 

[JarHeadJim]

What a jerk! Wish he was our Coach!

 

[Cuse12]

This guy is the worst!

If he was our guy we would be loving every second of it. He has receipts. Winning cures all. I envy their program. Hurts to say, but let’s be real.

I thought I had the UConn thread on ignore.

“You gotta love Hurley”

No I don’t

With confidence, no. I’m not particularly old, but I remember a time when winning didn’t allow you to act like a cocky jackass. Who cares about receipts

in a perfect world you have both, a respected HC and a winning HC.

At this point give me a guy who just wins (as long as he isn’t doing something illegal). Again, we are all lying saying we wouldn’t support him as HC here. If he won back to back nattys he would be walking on water here and rightfully so. Winning cures all!

It's like these coaches that are always out of the coach's box. I'm glad our coaches don't do it. However, I've never seen a ref call anything on it.

So if we had a coach that pushed a few buttons and won, i think I could accept that. Especially now.

Jay Wright's not walking through the door anytime soon. And what about Kyle Neptune who many people said was in over his head. So far this season he has beat Cincy, Yukon, Xavier and St John's. Who would not want that. Stuff like that gives me hope.

We had such a coach for 40+ years. It works as long as you're winning but if not it gets old fast.

As far as Hurley goes, we need villains to fill the Coach K vacuum. He's a great fit for this generation.

Boeheim hated media. He was a grumpy jerk when forced to sit and answer questions he didn’t like. That’s a lot different than what Hurley is. Hurley seeks out attention.

 

[Willy75]

I like him, think he’s great for the college game which needs all the help it can get, and wish he was our coach. Bruce Pearl on the other hand ….

Absolutely people are lying if they say they wouldn't support him. I could see Fran doing something similar if he wins a natty and then Pitt fans tried to talk.

I envy their success but I cannot stand Hurley.

He loved national media.

I was a huge fan of the 1986 Mets; I watched every one of their games and loved every second. They had a saying on road trips that they were going to to kick the other teams butt, drink their beer, and take their women (obviously a sanitized version there). They were absolutely arrogant, showboating jerks - and I loved every second of that season. (Especially Game 6)

I also absolutely hated the 80s Miami Hurricanes because they were a bunch of arrogant showboating jerks - and why would anyone root for a team like that?

Not only am I 100% confident I could easily support a coach like Hurley at Syracuse...I'm 100% confident most of the folks claiming they would never support a guy like Hurley would change their tune quickly if we actually had a coach like that. We're rubbing into one of the less desirable but undeniable aspects of human nature here - in group vs out group bias.
