Dawkins told him Creighton would pay "like $100,000 and a good job, like a lucrative job" via asst coach Preston Murphy
An article about Murphy once he took the Creighton job:
Murphy was the lone holdover from the previous coaching staff upon Dan Hurley’s hiring in March 2012, kept on as an assistant at URI after the school parted company with Jim Baron. Murphy’s major score on the recruiting trail was Rams’ guard E.C. Matthews, a fellow Michigan native who turned in a most valuable player performance as URI clinched just its second Atlantic 10 Tournament title in program history.
“He’s responsible for helping us put this thing together here,” Hurley said. “Recruiting early building blocks of the culture and building the staff and getting the program up to par — Preston was a big part of it.”
