If he doesn't take it because his wife doesn't want him to, the first time she ever complains about lack of money should be grounds for divorce without cause.
Hurley to Lakers?
- Thread starter Titpwhami2014
- Start date
He wants NBA. IF Lakers, Celts, Knicks call you go
Put all my opinions on UConn and Hurley aside, he’d be stupid to turn down LA. You don’t turn down the Lakers or Celtics

LAs full of em. I question the fit. I don’t know how well his “Jersey tough guy” approach will work with millionaires, one in particular.
It didn’t work for Pitino. I think Hurley is more vocal and charismatic than even Pitino was
UCONN players may have too many good habits for Cal’s taste.
I couldn't give less of a crap what Cal does at this point. I hope we always beat them and finish ahead of them in the SEC, but I'm not going to hope for or against giant shifts in college basketball just so he doesn't get a few good players.
Nothing says that Hurley will always continue this level of success at UCONN. If he is waiting for the Knicks job doesn’t mean he continues this level of success that would afford him an offer especially if UCONN doesn’t have the level of NIL needed.
There isn't a job on this earth that someone wouldn't turn down. Any job where you're saddled with LeDramaQueen is a trash job. Only way anyone should take that job is if they can trade his traveling asp somewhere else.
If any lack of money now they are some serious fools... (Seen it happen though..from afar...)
Just read that Hurley is so close to his parents and they don't want him to go FWIW. Noticed Pitino advised not to do it for the money. Pitino said if had it to do over he would still be at Kentucky.
Not necessarily lack of money, but even rich people always want more.
That is an entirely different situation..... but, understood...
UCONN is one of the few like us, who have had staying power lately.
We won titles under Rupp, Hall, Pitino, Tubby & Cal.
UConn has won with multiple coaches as well. Calhoun, Kevin Ollie, & Hurley. They don’t seem to be one hit wonders. They are built well.

IMHO, he turns the Lakers down. Just not a good fit for him and his wife. I believe he holds out for the Knicks.
I want Hurley gone. I expect Cal to do better than he did past couple of years at UK. I think the pressure got to him here. He is stubborn as all get out but the pressure isn't the same at Arkansas as it is at UK.
I could care less about Hurley, UConn, or the Lakers.
We’ve got our guys with just one open spot. They have guys that had a chance to come here and they chose poorly. Hurley had his chance too, and I’m thankful he didn’t come. He’s kind of a jerk that would not have fit in.
He can stay in CT, go to LA or something else. I just don’t care. I find the obsession with him a little odd. I get that he went back to back and that is impressive, but it is also in past tense.

LA trying to hire Hurley tells me the Lakers are ready to move on from the Drama Queen.
I feel like when you reach a certain amount in earnings, the money matters less and less.
He'll go to the NBA if he wants to coach in the NBA. It's a premier job in the sport.
If he wants to continue building Uconn into the giant they are becoming, he'll stay.

No, not at all.
You need to let the program once again be bigger than one man, especially a former guy that has no power or responsibility here anymore.
Upward and beyond not backward with the focus on days gone past like water under the bridge.

I could be very wrong but I don't think he's considering the Lakers because of the money. He's a bit of a mad scientist and has to be intrigued at the thought of pulling the levers that get them back to the top.
They released a study a year ago where they determined once you hit 500k a year in earnings there was no significant difference in happiness.
100 million a lot of $$ but living in the LA area has to be alot more than living where he currently does
saw him at the end of last year, with Stevie NIcks at the AZ Diamondbacks baseball stadium and I thought he was great and it was sold out, prob 35-40k people
Stevie Nicks 4LIFE !!
Apparently today’s team meeting was cancelled. Could be nothing. Could be he’s genuinely torn.
It’s a difference of over $10 million a year. That is significant money for anyone
He should make the negotiations interesting before turning it down outright.
First order of business? Make them return to MinnAhSSOTA. Los Angeles LAKERS makes no damn sense.
When they turn that down, insist the name ve changed to The LA Smog. Nothing more fitting and almost nothing more noxious than that. Just like a lot of "Lakers" fans.
When they reject that idea, it's time to really aim for something that will elevate the entire franchise. Demand that Colin Cowherd stop talking about them, stop being a fan, and in general make him pay the franchise to be able to mention them again.
Yall probably have some other good suggestions for Ole Dan. Let's hear em

ESPN is reporting he will make the decision Monday.
I'm guessing he's going to stay.

I said earlier I thought he was gone. But after reading this article…I think he’s staying.
