ESPN’s PJ Carlesimo’s Advice for UConn’s Dan Hurley about Taking Lakers’ Job | The Rich Eisen Show

[@plnthn]

The fact that he will be going to meet the Lakers gives us a slight insight that he has been considering this intriguing offer.

[@mikewilson8600]

lol PJ seems to be forgetting how many times the Lakers job has been open lately.

[@BabylonGateLA]

LETS GO LAKERS little buddy 💜💛💜💛

[@mikewilson8600]

@@BabylonGateLA You might get a great coach but do Lakers fans have patience for him to build the team he wants and understand success is not going to be immediate. That is the ? coach is going to have to decide. Reality he has only 1 more championship than Ollie.

[@paulcooper1046]

I remember Andrew Gaze and Seton Hall playing Michigan for the natty like it was yesterday. Glen Rice went off. Glad to see Coach still pushing…💯

[@kevinklampe9362]

Simple Straigh Facts!!! Great Job PJ!!!!!!!!

[@sunsensational]

Dan would slay if he goes or not. But, I think wrong timing and wrong place for Dan Hurley. If this was 3-5 years from now, or a Boston/New York team, he take a shot now. But NBA head coach jobs will be available to him later as he’s already already figured out the cheat code at UConn and dominating college basketball landscape and he’s only 51. , I think people want what they can’t have an NBA owners will seek him out down the road when timing is better all around for him and his family. Plus, he’s got a chance to do something that hasn’t been done since the late 60s with John wooden with 3-Peat.

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

slay? Seriously? What are you 12?

[@xocolatlsuenos]

Yeah he’s the perfect guy to let Hurley know how not to be a prick to grown men. Sprewell choked out that overseer mentality even though he got blackballed over it.

[@1JamesHunter]

Facts 🤣

[@Shopwrecker]

True story

[@HamptonGuitars]

Spre went after a teammate with a 2x4 two years before that, and had fights with another in 93. Broke his hand in a fight in 02. Spre had a short fuse, not a social conscience.

[@1JamesHunter]

@HamptonGuitars I know Latrel. He is truly that pitbull running loose in your neighborhood and you need to run out and grab up your kids cuz he will bite. Lol

[@BIacovone]

He’s a typical east coast guy - cocky, brash, high strung. I’m not sure that works on the west coast. He’s a bring your lunch pail guy and he’s definitely more suited for a team in the northeast.

[@rowansps]

San Antonio Spurs (Pop will retire soon) is the best place for him, if he WANTS to move on to the NBA. UConn is his best option right now, and he's probably just using the Lakers interview to negotiate for a better deal for him and his assistants.

[@IzzyChargedUp]

He just got a contract extension with UConn

[@hubagnimamaoi]

Poo ain't retiring next 5 years. He just sign extend his contract.

[@JuanTorres-hv5ig]

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS FAMILY.

[@WillyTheGreatTheReal]

"Perfect guy", lol.

[@1JamesHunter]

The West is going to be crazy next season. Ja Morant and the Grizzlies are going to be healthy, OKC, DENVER, MINNESOTA, HOUSTON will be even better, NEW ORLEANS.... and so on.

[@Dave1854]

What did he say... Don't get choked out? hahahaha

[@albertluu6849]

IS THIS THE DUDE THAT GOT CHOKED OUT BY SPREWELL!?!

[@1JamesHunter]

Yup!

[@lexbeltran1354]

You got it😊

[@MrBmick79]

lol. You can hear it in his vocal cords

[@bigaz72]

The Lakers or UConn not too bad...you've gone good for yourself Mr. Hurley. I wouldn't want to coach LeBron especially if they draft his boy. Pretty obvious LJ pushed the last 2 guys out. But the Lakers have rotated coaches like crazy over the past decade+ Even pre LJ. No one has lasted longer than 2 seasons since Phil Jackson left in 2011. Someone else mentioned here 7 different coaches. Despite the crazy NIL/transfer portal he does great at UConn. Coaching young athletes is still a pretty cool deal.

[@dougf9900]

"The Lakers job doesn't come up very often." Haven't the Lakers blew through 7 coaches in the last 11 years, or something like that? I guess if Hurley wants a quick guaranteed payout from LA, then maybe back to college to start over yet again, sure, but does his wife want that? Does she want to bounce in and out of LA and then end up at yet another college? She wasn't interested in going even as far as Kentucky just 2 months ago

[@I.am_Groot]

Right now I think IF the jobs were open Chicago and Detroit would be a better destination for Hurley or any other first time NBA head coach.

[@joshua-nf3rx]

How could you not take the job 100 million Biggest brand in basketball and one of the biggest brands in the world and his brand will become iconic if it works out . If it doesn’t work out he goes back to any college he wants However as a pure basketball job it’s awful right now- lebron is about to be done. AD isn’t someone you can rely on, the west is awesome so if he doesn’t get big free agents he’s fired in a few years

[@Fotosynthesis858]

Damn… PJ is almost unrecognizable… damn

[@neal5068]

I thought they hired Reddick.

[@valhalla_iamcoming]

I hope the Lakers get him

[@BkD76-g3k]

I’m a lakers fan and I also live in Connecticut and I love UConn Athletics But there’s no way I would take the LA job, Lebron is running the show AD is often injured. Darvin Hamm was a good choice as Head Coach and look how it ended FIRED after two seasons. It’s not the coaching it’s the roster imo!

[@BabylonGateLA]

@@BkD76-g3kG T F O, you’re not a Lakers fan! You must be a bandwagon who only roots for us when we are good 😂😂😂

As someone who was born in L.A. then moved to CT and went to UConn and being a Lakers fan since 98’ this would be an Excellent move Smithers!😂

[@ApolyonTheSoulRender]

If hurley doesn't go to the Lakers I think that means he's holding out for an east coast NBA job

[@popcornjoe3752]

I hope he likes going from college basketball premier Coach to LeBron James assistant coach

[@kevinklampe9362]

Tgeyll Be Far Better Off Than Tgey Were Previously!!!!!!

[@40goingwest]

Danny should not go to the Lakers until Leflop is gone. Leflop could poison his coaching position. There are other teams or just wait until Leflop leaves. Simple

[@HamptonGuitars]

Exactly, too many bosses at LAL. At UConn, he has an AD who stays out of his way.

[@gugy68]

Bron is on the way out. Jeannie will not fire Hurley at a 5y $80m contract. She's ride Bron for a couple of years and then move on.

[@antayat123]

I think the elephant in the room that no one is even looking at is Brony. He had a heartache. That's not a long-term guy. His health won't allow it, unfortunately.

[@Flush0000]

​@antayat123 Dude, his health is fine.

[@erwinhouser7704]

Plus he’s the coach to ruin the Confidence of Danny at Seton Hall and he had to leave the team. This guy has no class whatsoever.

[@ruiz2439]

He's cocky enough to take the job and money 4sure lol

[@enricopezzella9652]

He ain't going!!

[@NagaXL]

If Lebron stays, Dan Hurley will be his 11th coach fired for his GOAT case.

[@crisclaudio6155]

Your job will always be available every two years.. I don’t know what PJ is talking about lol the turnaround is horrible. If they sign Danny, he will be gone in two years.

[@EastsideLegend1]

I cannot see Hurley taking this job. I just can’t.

Uconn running a $port$ franchise with a college gig on the side. Rediculous
