Wow. I wonder if Gkiller's Interns (not the band, just the interns) had Hurley on the radar for worst rivalry coach?
he's been on the list. I was waiting for somene to bring him up and I keep asking the board for anyone close! Bobby's bad no question.
the biggest difference is he's been there 10 years, half of Moon era, and he's likely about to be fired and most want him gone. Mooney doesn't just keep his job....he keeps getting extensions! Also, Hurley still has as many NCAAs in half the time, add in Buffalo and it's 4 for 12. yeah yeah pac 12 all that. but ASU is no powerhouse, they've always been a lower tier P5. Comparing us to to VCU, and ASU to Arizona in hoops, on a relative basis, we are much much closer to VCU even though we get our asses kicked by VCU. Arizona is a blue blood.
GKiller's interns have a great formula...I can't tell u exactly it's super secret like the NET....but it's based on both data and intuition. and more. It's not pure win %, that would be dumb, some coach could be 0-2 lifetime and have a worse %.
we plugged Bobby Hurley in. a guy that has the coach K dookie dan hurley brother benefit of the doubt too and they still want him gone.
If Bobby Hurley was there 5-10 more years and sucked, he would be right there as worst of all time. he ranks very high regardless. But that's not how it works to be #1. And he's getting fired for those exact reasons! Chris Mooney gets 24 year job security, & the media think he's doing a great job. So does bobby beat our own Moon man...no way
WORST RIVALRY COACH of ALL TIME
At little ol' Richmond. Amazing.
