Mistake for any coach to go from college to pro and I’m sure Hurley knows why/what I’m saying…

Uconn is his dream job, he will be one of the highest paid coaches in the game. His family is in the Northeast. His wife has repeatedly said she wants to remain in the Northeast. He's chasing history, he's fiercely loyal

Will he give that all up to coach a forty year old Lebron and a Lakers program that has no short term opportunity to compete

Lebron isn't a draw for anyone anymore, coach nor player.
Look at who's he playing for and with now.

DraftKings Listed JJ Redick As A -210 Favorite Up Till Yesterday To Be The Next Lakers HC. But Now They Have Taken The Lakers HC Odds Off The Board With The News That Lakers Want Hurley.

Hasn't he said he wants to coach at the NBA level?

Curious what the $ amount is -- maybe close to $20 mil/year

I think he should stay at UConn personally, but wouldn't be surprised at all if he left. Hard to turn that down

Willie is UConn’s biggest booster .
He’s writing a 40 million dollar check as I type this to keep him at UCONN

At first Hurley turned it down . Then Willie sweetened the pot
He told Willie if he changes his avatar from Calhoun to Hurley he will stay

Press conference announcing the extension shortly

I know you're just playing, but I would take that wager in a heartbeat

 

[Willie99]

Moving to LA would be everything Dan Hurley says he doesn't want

I'm going with his agent told him to make this trip for leverage

He gets 8 figures, his assistants get 7, he stays

 

[Avocado33]

UConn probably gotta offer him $11-12 million per year if they want to keep him

Basically gotta double it
