Dan Hurley wants the New York Knicks job!

[@freakboy40]

You are probably right! In the Northeast that is a huge job. Maybe not anywhere else but MSG is a huge deal there.

[@MrMashman93]

True, and if the Knicks don’t get to the ECF next season he may get that job real soon.

[@deshawnclark4459]

LOL kentucky fans pray he leaves college he will retire a husky after 8 championships

@@deshawnclark4459 I completely agree with this comment...LOL. They can't stand there is someone out there who doesn't care about their money, who only cares about kicking your tail.

Dan Hurley is a smart man

[@charliewhite3593]

U really think so

[@Paul_Masters]

@@charliewhite3593 coach lebron? or peace of mind?

[@jeffdillon9526]

A big win for college basketball 🏀

[@brunobagofdonuts9304]

Turns down Kentucky & Lakers the same year total BOSS MOVE.😎👍

[@freakboy40]

Yeah, that is pretty Gangster! Dude is already a Connecticut legend!

[@jodunn4521]

That’s how you know he’s missing a few screws. What more to prove at the college level? Get the bag!

[@freakboy40]

@@jodunn4521 He can do both. All money ain't good money. UCONN is going to make him paid but over a longer period than the Lakers would. He is just about at coach K status with the lifetime contract.

[@jodunn4521]

@@freakboy40 bro you’re funny asl 😂 all respect though. I can tell you’re a true die hard husky fan. However, the lakers could have offered him anything in this world. He just wouldve had to prove that he is the coach that they are hiring him to be and he’ll get extension after extension and so on. Hell monte Williams is currently on a 10 yr contract in the nba. He has nothing more to prove in college. A 3-peat won’t make him any more appealing than he already is. Imagine if he would have gone off to L.A and coached the lakers to a championship! Legendary! He could’ve failed in the NBA and still would have been a desirable coach at the college level. Get the bag! Hurley came back to uconn just to get beat by Kentucky in the championship 👊🏾

[@freakboy40]

@@jodunn4521 Yeah, I am from Connecticut and Flexing...LMAO. Hurley has already proven he can coach. He doesn't want what LA has to offer. Not hard to figure out. It's not a great job....and Money doesn't make it great dude. That's LeBrons team and there is no more generational talent for Hurley on the horizon there. UCONN is going to make him a huge offer. The dude is going to get bank. Money is not going to be an issue for him. He is a God in Connecticut. He is just a dude in LA....LOL

[@davoflatts7917]

U C O N N UCONN UCONN UCONN!!!!!

[@BlyGuy]

The boys are gonna play extra hard for coach this year and I can't wait. I've never been this excited for a sports season in my 30 years as a sports fan in any sport.

[@jamespruett2849]

Hurley decided he didn't want to be Labron's assistant, would be like taking the Cowboys coaching job and being Jerry Jones assistant

[@andymitts251]

I normally hate the "take the X best players off the roster" comparisons, but when you apply it across the league and use it as a measure of depth, it actually makes a lot of sense.

[@danielwebster4569]

Hurley is rockin' a fat crib in Glastonbury CT......definitely not Storrs

[@mr.nobody9697]

I dont know who said it but some talking head said that Uconn is at a level somewhere between the NBA and college basketball. Theyre playing at a level higher than any college team but theyre not at the level of an NBA team. If Hurley and his team complete the 3 peat itll be a clear sign that he and his coaching staff really are on a level all their own and the rest of the country needs to catch up and it may be too late. We could see Uconn make a run of multiple titles not only over Hurleys run but if he passes the torch to Kimani Young or Luke Murray it could be the next 20 years.

[@timothybullock5418]

By December, the college basketball world will discover how underrated Clingan is.

[@conradkappel9426]

Maybe or maybe not by design but this decision will be an unbelievable motivational asset for the present players' roster and a recruiting bonanza as well. He got even more national attention which reminded the world that he's the best coach in cbb.

[@biplavgautam]

Love RUSH

[@sawyerhinck2471]

I like this decision as a lakers fan he loves UConn.

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

Smart

[@sportgeek2028]

Dan Hurley = Nick Saban

[@jodunn4521]

Dan Hurley= billy Donovan

[@itsjustacomment454]

Aside from the year round sunshine. Living in Connecticut is better than LA.

[@JG7470]

Having gone to California on vacation and spent a few days in LA, weather is nice but compared to NY, we found it to be lacking.

[@immortalswif1068]

Now you know..go UCONN

[@BlackHeron89]

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!!

[@joerusso4417]

could you talk a little louder. let lebron find another stooge to boss around.
