How come you constantly avoid direct questions?

The article, what'd it say about whether he was on the hot seat?

Like, when your evidence that Dan Hurley's seat was getting warm is an article that says:

"Dan Hurley gets fired? Hurley is on the hot seat? No, of course not. Barring some completely unforeseen circumstances, neither scenario will be anywhere near in play. And likely not for several years to come, either."

did you make your point really well, you think?

It is irrelevant because that was not the point. The point was whether the seat was getting hotter. As that was what I posted. It obviously was if the questions were being asked and responded to by the coach and the AD.

You do not seem to understand this. For whatever reason. Despite your alleged high IQ. Just goes to show that book smarts sometimes don't mean much.

Very Tempo-esque role playing by you today. Well done.

And his seat was getting hot, wasn't it?

You said 'his seat was getting hot, wasn't it?'

Your evidence was an article about how his seat wasn't getting hot.  It says that scenario won't "be anywhere near in play".

Except that the questions were being asked because enough fans were getting pissed that someone asked questions and the AD answered them. Sounds like things were getting hotter by Tempo and my, and any reasonable person's, definition and not your crazy one where the AD has to make a public proclamation.

What we learned today is that UCONN fans want NCAA Championships, and bitch when the coach is not progressing in The Tourney, and Illini fans are content with B1G Regular Season titles and don't care about losing to Loyola because the Tourney is a crapshoot (like basically every other playoffs than the NBA (historically)).

I salute you Huskie fans for putting the pressure on the coach to win the Tourney!

Yes certainly, those UConn fans wanting to fire Hurley last year seem super reasonable right now, and Illinois definitely doesn't have people whining about the lack of tournament success.

The article about how his seat wasn't getting hot is evidence that his seat was getting hot.

Still missing the point. But then again  you are satisfied with Regular Season B1G Championships and not NCAA Championships like Huskie fans.

Those great Huskies fans who made the same arguments you did and, had they gotten their way, would've directly cost UConn a national title.

We need more of those, for sure.

Well, someone has to demand accountability as opposed to you, QAnon97, Custard, etc. Hopefully we can pressure Underachiever into winning like those Huskie fans maybe did with Hurley in the preseason.

We sure know the bootlickers in the ECI media won't be asking Guenther Jr. if Underachiever's seat is getting hot.

Maybe Bob from IlliniBoard will ask Guenther Jr. if Underachiever is on the hot seat, Guenther Jr. will laugh it off, but then tell Underachiever to get his act in gear since he is being asked questions whether Underachiever is on the hot seat, and the Illini will win the NCAA Tourney title! That would, no will, be awesome.

Okay well, when people refer to 'the hot seat' regarding a coach it usually it refers to the likelihood of someone being fired, not whether "people are feeling itchy or uncertain" - so that was the definition I was using.

If you just meant "some fans are uncertain" then yeah, Underwood's got that.  It's just not typically what someone means when discussing "the hot seat" for a coach.


To be fair, I think “on the hot seat” is a term thrown around pretty loosely these days. It’s not the 70s anymore. Few coaches are getting away with 3-4 mediocre to poor seasons in a row anymore. Some are even fired when they’ve been “decent.”

Having looked at Hurley’s record at UConn, I’d say it was unlikely he was on the hot seat. Unless the ADs expectations were through the roof. He was coming off his best season. A 23 win season. Again, in this hot take society we now live in, “hot seat” is thrown around too often these days.

If Hurley had squeaked into the tourney this year and lost 1st round, definite hot seat candidate.
