Be SHOCKED if he leaves

Be SHOCKED if he leaves

Really? Shocked? With that much money being offered?

 

[UpstateSM]

Was hoping that somebody posted the video of Danny and his wife at Billy Joel so I could say that I think she's hot

 

[walsh2012]

If i were making odds:

UCONN -200
lakers +300

 

[Day2]

What does it say about the Lakers if he doesn’t take the job? What does it say about LBJ?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If he doesn't take the Lakers job he's a coward.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

That’s unsanitary.

seems like he just cant give up the east coast with fam ties

We will know on Monday. No matter what, I won't be shocked. I can see his wife wanting to stay on the East Coast. I can see the both of them saying how much money are they offering?

I think you should adjust those before people lock in that free arb money

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Betting sites have him -400 to leave uconn.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I read the story as he’s going.

Me, too.

Emotional hedge

Yep was going to post this

BetOnline just released Lakers head coaching odds and give the Lakers an 80% chance of hiring Dan Hurley.

Where will Dan Hurley coach basketball in 2024-25:
Los Angeles Lakers: -400 (1/4)
UConn Huskies: +300 (3/1)

Aww @&$ he’s staying…

My first reaction reading that too. If he does, as as much as I hate that program, they have the legit man at head coach.

 

[two3zone]

I wouldn't be shocked either way. No matter what ties you have to something, 100 million if thats true is funny money. That's "I never have to drive again" money.

 

[two3zone]

What does it say about the Lakers if he doesn’t take the job? What does it say about LBJ?

It could say more about Hurley than anything.

 

[two3zone]

If he doesn't take the Lakers job he's a coward.

I think its the opposite. You take the cash and fail you became mega rich and oh well. You pass up the money and stay at Uconn and fail, youre the dude that passed on the Lakers to slum around the Big East. Not an easy decision.

 

[two3zone]

That’s unsanitary.

Good way to get pink eye right there.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Good way to get pink eye right there.

Or stink eye

Maybe even a no-win situation. Probably better for Hurley if it didn't go public.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

That kind of money is just so life changing. His kids kids will never have to work.

Well, that’s never a good thing.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He could live in San Diego and have the Lakers helicopter him back and forth for his commute.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Likely the only college job he would have left for would have been Duke. If so, then the question is does he want to go the highest level of the sport.

I think its the opposite. You take the cash and fail you became mega rich and oh well. You pass up the money and stay at Uconn and fail, youre the dude that passed on the Lakers to slum around the Big East. Not an easy decision.

Or maybe you take the money give it a whirl while leaving on great terms leaving door open to come back while you are mega rich and in an environment you could possibly use some of that incredible wealth to help UConns NIL game in your return (assuming they fall back massively and no new coach can keep that job). You have to take that job aiming to succeed but he certainly can keep a room warm at Storrs I’m sure.
