Seeing Hurley mentioned for URI job - which not sure is officially open yet?
Mooney--an under appreciated coach.

Yep he was boy wonder in 20-21 when went to NCAA's.
Since then 44-45 in the A10. I think VT actually pointed this out often when we hyped Schmidt on this board. Kind of like the coaching fraternity bro's on the broadcasts that only highlight the longevity/accumulation statst Mooney has put up, ignoring the horrific ones.

One retread (Archie) to another (B. Hurley) would be classic A10 hiring. A10 schools seem to love coaches past their prime. Frank the Tank at UMass before they left being a great recent example, Archie another.
Archie and Hurley careers are similar - do well at non power conf. jobs, bomb out at power conf jobs. Archie then has continued to bomb out at URI and my guess is B. Hurley will do likewise. Weird how career trajectories often can't be reversed once things start to turn against a coach. Anthony Grant has not covered himself in glory at Dayton either as a 2nd time around guy.
A. Grant in 3 years at VCU - 3 reg. season titles, 2 NCAAs.
A. Grant at 15 years at Alabama/Dayton - 1 reg. season title, 2 NCAAs.

“How are we supposed to compete when power 4 caliber coaches are staying in the A10” - probably Hardt and Mooney somewhere

Although Schmidt and Mooney have very similar winning percentage, I think Schmidt is given credit around the A10 for his winning percentage in games where that one game matters.

I’m trying to ignore that, since some would compare that to us vs Dayton & VCU.
Even if our situation is voluntary…

Wait until he hears that we are going to spend $5 MILLION! He will probably curl up into a ball in the corner of his office and die!

Now a 4 point game. SLU really needs to win IMO, they don't have the best metrics and resting their players in a blowout reg. season loss should be considered just as any other game is IMO, since it was a voluntary thing.
We get 50% of SLUs wins for 50% the coach salary. Nice
So if we triple Mooney's salary, we can expect 40+ wins?
