Dan Hurley the two-time NCAA Championship coach going for three straight at Yukon this upcoming season has turned down the Lakers offer Rob to be their head coach reportedly a six-year 70 million offer he turned it down would have made him like a top six coach uh highest paid coach in the NBA maybe the fifth highest paid uh in the league and um Rob what are your thoughts on Hurley turning down the Lakers Chris brousard Dan Hurley is muga Dan Hurley is crazy Dan Hurley will regret this going forward what are you thinking hello is this on really Dan Hurley the guy nobody knows they know your brother Bobby Hurley better than you I know you one to National Championship backto back you want a three repat in this college basketball downtrodden uh college basketball bgrade college basketball this is what you want you want you didn’t want to be the whole enchilada in Los Angeles you rather stay in stores Connecticut the armpit of Connecticut and instead you want to be small potatoes with no ketchup that’s what you want wow come on man here’s a golden opportunity stand up and be bigger don’t worry about what other people did this was your chance How about if he got LeBron another championship how if he took ad and the Lakers forward like nobody else had show us what you got as a coach you took the easy way out let me stay here where nobody knows me nobody knows Dan Dan Harley Hurley Hurley Dan there you go that’s what I’m saying you don’t nobody except for people in college basketball I just got Tongue Tied nobody in college basketball except uh the the real people who are into it please you know when everybody found out who he was when his name became attached to uh the Lakers and what could be and the chance and my home point is there Comes A Time when you want to try something different step out of your comfort zone make a real name for yourself there’s only been one coach in the history you want to talk about uh trying to do something different which is winning a championship in the NBA and in college only one guy’s done it Larry Brown if this was Charlotte if this was some other downtrod in organization Chris I get that I’m not going to Charlotte to go beat get beat up for three years and then run out of town okay I’m not doing that this is the Los Angeles Lakers this is the Yankees this is the Cowboys you don’t pass up opportunities to work for franchises like that with the history and the lore that goes with it this is a mistake this is a mistake and Dan Hurley will regret this going forward when he doesn’t win his third national championship and college basketball with the nil and the way things change will will will will continue to drop down you’re staying at college basketball where they couldn’t even beat the women in the NCAA tv raitings nobody even watches college basketball quit during the year nobody they watched the tournament very nice nobody watches college basketball you’re passing up the NBA and the B in Los Angeles with all of the big time movers and shakers and all the stuff that goes on I don’t understand how that could happen wow well look there is an argument that you just made uh and there are other reasons to agree with what you said right you get a chance to coach LeBron James arguably the best player to ever play the game and yeah it would have been challenging obviously LeBron you know when you coach him there are all types of expectations but also he’s still a great player he’s still a top 1510 player in the league and of course you got Anthony Davis and some other young players around you and Rob as you said when you his next offer because he said he wants to coach in the NBA his next offer might be from Charlotte yep or some other struggling team Washington or you know some us to get Chris you know that right now he look it’s possible he could get offered a better job but there’s a chance that it’ll be one of those weak jobs because they’re in a bad shape and need somebody to come in he said uh about a week ago on the Mike francesa’s podcast Rob this might give you miss Mike Francesa podcast right well here’s what he said I do Aspire One day this is Dan early if the right NBA situation were to come along to really test myself where an organization wants a tone Setter to come in and instill a culture here’s the key with young players and an organization that wants to pursue championships so it sounds like Rob he you know and we’ve talked about this was kind of a two-prong job offer one coach LeBron and ad for the next few years and then once they’re gone it’s like okay now build a program that’s challenging but that seemed to be what it was like and that seems to be what you know he’s attracted to like let me build a young program and and set in my image and then get this thing going um I I think look he did what he wanted to do I I remember Rob I told you when the offer came out the news that it it broke that it came out out or not the offer but that they were talking to him I said there was a theory going around of some of the people I talked in the league it was pure speculation I was told but they thought maybe this was hurly or they thought more than maybe that they they didn’t see him in LA and they felt like this was to get Yukon to pay him more money and their the second part for them was JJ reick may be asking for too much and they want to let him know look you’re not even our first choice so you come here for less money um that’s a whole another store issue but it Rob it just seems like he he didn’t want to go to La his wife from the East coach remember Kentucky offered him 11 million and so that’s about what the Lakers offered him six years 70 million I think the Lakers should have offered him more I said last week Rob should have been between 14 and 15 million a year enough of a cont contract seven years 100 million something like that where he knows he’s got the security to run the team and the program the way he wants to he’s not going to be at any players’s whim uh he will have the security they’ll have to back him because he’s got so many years and so much money so we were the reports Rob were that it was a long-term oh lucrative offer like like the Lakers were preparing the granddaddy of all offers and yet they didn’t even offer him as much as Monty Williams got from Detroit right well that that was a ridiculous cont yeah so I I think they should have offered him more money not more than Steve Kerr who’s making 17 and a half money not more than Greg papovich who’s making 16 but 14 15 million in that range he is a two-time champion at the NCAA level and I thought that would have got it done the fact that they I’m baffled that they thought that this offer would get him um and so obviously they didn’t their their theories also my partner Nick right on first things first things they really didn’t want him they just want the name out there and look make you know make it look like they were going for the big fish or whatever but I don’t know Rob it’s interesting I don’t how you they offered him $70 million to say that they didn’t want them $70 million for a guy that most people don’t know well I don’t know why you keep saying most people don’t know people know I’m talking about the general the general public doesn’t really know but that ain’t everybody’s goal I me the dude is is known in basketball so this one of the top basketball families in the country yeah I I’m just saying I I don’t I don’t think that that’s the case I just don’t I I think he doesn’t want the he doesn’t want the smoke he doesn’t want the the real opportunity to do something you could go back to Connecticut that’s comfortable that’s all and it might work out with nil it might not work out he may never again but he might be Happ he’s got a top top program recruiting class coming back in I mean I get it college basketball isn’t quite what it used to be but he’s still I mean he’s the king of college basketball right now and he’ll get other offers they like you said it it might not be as good as the Lakers but I also think they should have offered more money
