Dan Hurley STAYING with UConn Huskies, rejects $70M from Los Angeles Lakers! | Can UConn three-peat?

Dan Hurley passed on the Los Angeles Lakers and instead will remain in Storrs to coach the UConn Huskies, in an attempt to lead them to a third straight college basketball national championship. Hurley reportedly turned down $70M from the Lakers, and is working on a restructured contract with UConn for $50M over six years.
Hurley's return is great news for college basketball, and raises the question of whether this program - which lost four of their five starters - is a realistic option to win a third straight national title.

The Lakers job is like the Dallas cowboys job , your LeBron's or Jerry Jones assistant

[@MickeyMouse-kh2gj]

yes thank you Dan Hurley

[@brunobagofdonuts9304]

LA giving out pocket change when CT will give Hurley the highest paid coach in college basketball but it wasn't about $$$ but WINNING

[@RaunnHD]

He wasn't going anywhere. When you build a program, establish something, win championships, no reason to leave- Scott Drew and Kelvin Sampson are examples of this.

[@garymacmillan]

Now LA is a crummy place to coach.

[@stevefirth6472]

Being the Lakers coach is not a good opportunity. They are not capable of winning an NBA title and coaching them will not be successful for anyone. IMO, this was an easy decision for Coach Hurley.

Who is this guy on the left? Villanova and UConn have been winning ships. The Big East has won 5 ships the last 10 years. Are you talking football or basketball. Those conferences you mention as the best fizzle like a cheap tent in tournament every year. They get 12 in and still don’t win. Stop misleading the audience please!!
