Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Woodson]

Personally if I was on the team I'm not sure I'd want to walk into a party after my coach has been flirting with leaving his job. It seems a bit self-congratulatory. It's like an owner of a business throwing a party when he sells it off to a private equity firm and no one at the party has equity.

Of course the flip side to that coin is… coach rejects massive deal from the Lebrons, I mean Lakers, to chase 3peat and coach YOU.
You think that might get the boys fired up?

Let him leave, the fact he’s stretching this decision out like LeBron is annoying as F

He literally just met with them on Friday. What is he stretching?

Whether he stays or goes, this is a stupid post!

 

[UConn77]

My guess is that he’s gone. Hope I’m wrong.

For the record, my post was in the original thread, and I assume an administrator moved it to its own thread. It was not my intent to start a whole new thread. I know how important it is to go for the all-time post count record.

Thank you for understanding the greater purpose in all this.

In a setup like this, how can it be anything other than he's leaving?

He's leaving. I'll be very surprised if he stayed.

If he had made the decision to stay, news would've leaked this morning that he had turned the Lakers down.

Instead we have the news held up to talk to the players.

Yeah, I agree it doesn’t look good for Hurley staying. That being said, if Kimani, Luke, and even eelJim Calhoun can rally the team we’ll be OK.

I agree too. Too much cloak and dagger. Maybe it's a defense mechanism but I feel a gut punch coming.

Well, you do if you go to UConn to talk to the players first.

20 minutes.

One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock , four…….. maybe before we all go stark raving crazy we rock around the clock some more,,!!! ! !,!!! !!!!

Hurley has the sports world in the palm of his hands right now. What a day. Let’s hope the climax is the ultimate promo for the good guys

 

[KyUCONN]

if he decides to leave so be it !!! he is not bigger than UCONN!!!!! Pitino to step in and become new coach

That's how I feel too. Only caveat is a new contract.

Why would news have leaked if he turned them down but not if he accepted?

 

[UCann]

Like this sound of this. I do follow the logic, I mean if he was going to the Lakers, wouldn't the only next press conference be with the Lakers in LA not at UConn saying he's leaving and talking about the Lakers job?

 

[Rudy1927]

I hope he stays but this state/uconn screwed up with the Whalers/ the Pats/ their football coach after the Fiesta Bowl, do you think they can get this done?

They would never get another penny from me

There is no press conference. Davis got that from Dickie V, who got it from the practice being scheduled for 2.

 

[UConniki]

Something I don’t like. If he announces he’s staying we are in the same place as on Tuesday but there are massive celebrations like we won a lottery. We didn’t. We avoided a meteor strike. It’s a disaster film.

But the ending is all that matters and it would be a happy ending.

 

[metsfan2323]

This is huge, I think he is staying and will be the top paid college coach in the country. Maybe this was just about RESPECT. Find out what it means to Dan Hurley.

They locked Geno up....

 

[gsmooth]

And if the worst case scenario happens and Dan Hurley is in LA, they'll still have every opportunity to do that

they will have 30 days. They will have less options with less time.

do we know what the NIL would look like in a deal like that?
