Hurley turns down the Lakers

Too bad. I was looking forward to not seeing him as a collge coach any more, or at least until he was back after getting fired by the Lakers.
Per some sports talking heads opinion, the Lakers low-balled him at $70 million when it is considered on an annual basis vs total length of contract basis.
The Lakers, beyond name value, aren’t a great franchise especially for a guy trying to make a jump from college. The Buss family isn’t loaded, they don’t have a ton of picks, then you have the LeBron sideshow. When you consider cost of living, he’ll probably be making roughly the same once he signs a new deal.
Anyway, the college game needs personalities/villains. It’s always been a coach-driven game and there’s just not a lot of guys left with the gravitas/personality to be engaging on a national level. Hate him or love him, Hurley is probably the face of college basketball until he decides to go to the NBA or retire.

In the past 12 seasons the Lakers have finished better than seventh in the Western Conference one time. And that was the bubble season, when they finished in first and won it all.
Yes, but it looked a little wobbly as the weight of all the Brinks trucks pulling into Hurley's driveway altered the earth's rotation slightly.
They said the Lakers offered like $11 million per year and he's getting $10 million from UConn and he's more secure now and living in a cheaper place with less taxes and won't have to kiss LeBron's ass every day.
