Los Angeles Lakers reportedly making 'massive offer' to Dan Hurley | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

[@nlabanok]

Dan literally talking about a hiring rumor while being amazed that no rumors leaked out ahead of time. Lofl

[@je5406]

Lololololololol

[@joerusso4417]

if hurley's smart he will reject this offer. he makes enough money and owns connecticut. in the nba the players will own him. that's not the way he rolls. stay at uconn and become an all time legendary coach or go to the lakers and be fired after a few years. remember its happened to other successful college coaches.

[@eldub422]

Dan Hurley is the 7th highest paid coach in college. Bill Self almost makes twice as much as him. And they report that the Lakers are prepared to make him a "massive" contract offer. He just won back to back titles this is all to get a well deserved hefty raise to return to UConn. Don't be surprised if it's soon announced he is returning to UConn and they gave him a "massive" new contract

[@supermanblackedition]

Except there’s no cost cap in NBA coaching and can get double what Bill’s making

[@eldub422]

@@supermanblackedition And it clearly didn't matter as he did exactly what I predicted 😜

[@veramann]

Actually, there were a bunch of great college coaches who failed in the NBA, especially during year 1.

[@HuskyBlockCFan]

This is not a leverage play. UConn could not match Kentucky. Why would you think that UConn could now match the Lakers. For Hurley, he knows that money isn’t the deciding factor because he would’ve been a Lakers coach yesterday. This is more of a personal matter. For him, he’s wondering if he should stay and go for a threepeat and live on the east coast with his family. Or leave to go to the west coast and live out his dream of being an NBA head coach.

One and only Pete with the Lakers is better than anything

[@lafan4801]

Well Lebron won’t be round for very long. The bigger issue is simply being in the lakers fishbowl and the daily nonsense and drama that entails. Uconn isn’t even talked about until March.

[@teifaf6036]

Wait, there's a Bobby Hurley AND a Dan Hurley? Oh brother. I thought it was one dude lol

[@andrewlucabaugh9113]

LeBron, has to want JJ, Hurley’s not going to draft Bronny, but JJ probably would!

[@rossw5576]

Laker bandwagon fan base must be super low.

[@spinandmarty]

Only go if you get a slice of Lakers ownership and percentage of tv/merch/ticket sales revenue. He’s an idiot if he just takes straight salary. CA taxes are insane. L-A itself is Not a selling point either. It’s best days (and Californias’) are in the past.

[@carlscott-c1p]

He would only go if he has complete control. Maybe he knows that Lebron is leaving.

[@Lifendz]

Go get that bag because Lebron will have him up out of there by season's end.

[@bobbowie9350]

Coaches doesnt matter.

[@ronaldluc7740]

If you are a Ucon fans right now this has to demoralize.

[@Rob2380]

I live in CT, I can confirm that this news sucks. He's not replacable. This years run was one of the most dominant ever. Winning back to back national championships ain't easy. Hurley is crazy, but he's really good at what he does.

[@vionet727]

Why? He gave you 2 National Championships!

[@martincull4914]

The Lakers can’t deal with Hurley. He wants to coach men but the players want to be coddled. Dan, stay in college.

[@coltonklein3757]

Nah nba needs more of this! Let’s see what happens! He could be a culture change for the NBA let’s hope

[@BobPrice-b7f]

Don't do it Danny boy!!

[@neilashton9459]

But a more qualified coaching hire than JJ. Lebron likely pushing for Reddick so he has a surrogate as coach. Love the podcasts though……

[@carlfrye1566]

If he can get $45 million for 3 years - guaranteed regardless of tenure he may go.
