I agree, plus it's the Lakers. That's like being head coach of the Cowboys, or managing the Yankees. The job holds a special prestige, even in the limited circle of professional coaching.
 
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His father could have made millions in college but chose to work a high school job for bupkis. Hurley is already making millions at a school where he's becoming a legend. He doesn't need more. Ask Pitino about coaching in the pros where multi-million dollar players have no problem telling you to get bent.

Exactly. I cannot believe how many people think he is leaving uconn. Its not even on the table for him.

He is currently making roughly $6 million a year. If the Lakers offer roughly $15 million per year, then it is more than just on the table.

The table is set with fine China and food served with white gloves.

Yup except its terrible food served by Lebron James who forces you to eat it.

Ok, so money and prestige aside, isn't the Lakers current job a bit of a house of cards? LeBron is still very good, but realistically how much time does he have left and won't the cupboard be empty when he leaves?

Cap space for a program builder to build his program

As Knicks fans, we all know that cap space alone means squat. I'm sure they've mortgaged most of their future draft picks to appease LBJ.

The Lakers job is one of the biggest clown shows in sports. The team is run by an aging, egomaniac player. They are about to draft this raging egomaniac's son.

There is a reason nobody wants this job.

Imaging Hurley having to field questions for months about why Bronny James is on this team? HAHAHAAHAHAHA
 
Sorry, but trying to compare the Lakers’dysfiunction and UConn’s success as the reason Hurley will turn down LA does not compute.

As a state school, UConn’s best offer can only be so much (Hurley already is the highest paid government employee in CT by a couple of thousand miles), while the Lakers are unencumbered and can triple UConn’s best offer.

Plus, it’s the NBA, and there are only a finite number of those jobs available. Coaches have huge egos and Hurley is certainly no different. He may be convinced he can turn that franchise around in a couple of years.

I cannot stress, Hurley will be making generational wealth. If things implode, who cares? With all that money he can live a stress free life.

He can reopen St. Anthony’s and become their coach and hire his dad and brother as assistants.
