Hurley to SJU?


Recommended Posts

St. John’s done forked up.

Ok that was lame. But I think ultimately Bobby didn’t wanna recruit against his brother for kids in the same region. I actually think this is a blessing for SJU as I think Cluess is a better fit. He has the background of having coached and recruited for a religious institution.

Saw that Hurley is making 2.4 as well at ASU (same as Oats if I recall). For some reason I didnt think ASU was paying that type of money to their basketball coach. What could Saint Johns offer?

SJU has moved on. I’m sure with Hurley’s new contract came a big buyout also. That buyout number plus salary prolly isn’t worth it for SJU. Anything can happen but to me if you’re going to spend 3.5+ million (buyout + year one salary) just to get a coach to come why not swing for the fences and get Petino? Yes I know he has his issues and may not even be hirable. The name you hear is Cluess. Other than that the Hurley chatter has quieted here in NYC.

St. John's is a horrible job right now.  The president of the university,as opposed to the AD, wanted Lavin (and by extension Whitesell) and the AD out and Mullen in as coach four years ago.  There was no reason for the president to be involved in decisions like that, except if there is a major scandal taking place at the school, and there was not one.  Until he is gone it is a place to stay away from for anyone like Hurley.

 

Unless St. John's is going to offer in the words of Nate Oats, stupid money,  he should stay at Iona.  There is a history of other successful coaches int the New York City area moving to St. John's and failing.  He is in a great spot at Iona right now and the stupid money will most likely come to him from some place else.
