Why did Dan Hurley turn down Lakers’ head coaching job? Seth Greenberg breaks it down | First Take

Did you think that he did not want to move to that shithole state most of that money would go to taxes and that crazy culture

It was about money and control. If all that other stuff mattered, he would not have went to listen in the first place.

SAS can’t relate. Shannon taking his place

It was a Life decision not Basketball !

Lakers knew Hurley and Woj were trying use them for leverage. That's why they only offered him 70 mil

4 coaches in 6 seasons....traded the entire team almost every year. 1 bubble ring in 6 years....2 playoff misses, 1st round knock out, 4 game sweep, and a another 1st round bounce. When are we going to finally blame the 40 year old stat padder? Get him out of the picture and coaches will be lined up around the block to coach the Lakers.

It’s not always about money. Some people love the culture and what they built.

Legacy and loyalty is more important than money, i ALWAYS say "all money ain't good money". Why would he uproot his family, to go into a unloyal and unstable situation. Jeannie Buss needs to clean up her staff, the Lakers will remain mediocre until she does that. Getting rid of LeBron and Rich Paul's influence, would be the first move I'd make for the future of the organization. Then id get rid of Rob and Kurt Rambis.

no one watch before nobody cares about them no matter how many gold they win. cc is the golden goose so if you take her at least somone whould care other wise no body would care. just like the other one...people dont know any bodys name or stats they watch because of her period...

They’re all lying through their teeth. Adrian set this up so that Hurley could use it as leverage to get a better offer from UCONN. He never intended on taking that Lakers job.

he scared

People way overvalue the California and Los Angeles experiences. The city and state are not what they used to be. Why would he move out there to coach that team and ultimately make less money once you figure in how absurd the taxes and cost of living are in the LA area?

Shannon and Steve sound like twins when they're hyped up.

That Laker contract wasn't guaranteed. Also a great move by Hurley waiting for UConn to max that contract

LAKER'S HAVE A BIGEST THAT IS LJ😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Why coach a team where even tho it’s a 7 year deal, Lebron can have you fired half way through the first season for no fault of of your own

He chose happiness than suffering

He was too dominant ... leGM needs a beta coach cuz lebron is the alpha male

Maybe also cause he's knows if LeBron stays, LeBron is still technically the head coach.

Lakers are not the same team without the culture of greatness and true players that take the game and Lakers name seriously as Kobe Magic Kareem

I think the offer would have to be about more than money. Listening to Hurley's numerous interviews over the years he would need other assurances of control which he wasn't going to get. His autonomy would be nonexistent. Lakers are known for micromanaging, plus dealing with all those egos. Hurley doesn't want to get paid to be a puppet. It's not complicated-it wasn't a fit.

The guy has other values than just money...

He probably took a sightseeing tour and did not like what he saw. All the money in the world would not be worth moving to CA.

In fact, the Lakers could consider Avery Johnson as coach

This man is saying it has nothing to do with the Lakers....but the media will push the narrative that it was

"I'm the most loyal person money can buy" 😂😂 Unc is at it again

So I guess this is gonna be a two week story

Mark Jackson or Rajon Rondo for the next coach

Dan Hurley ha one of the best College basketball programs in the country. He literally can recruit anyone at this point. Win more championships.
So why coach an 40 year old Lebron James and Lakers team that does not work.

This tv personalities love to run there mouths
No one wants be a coach in name only

Coach said it wasn’t about the money… shannon goes on to say it’s about money

Mollys gorgeous but here voice and character she plays is phony.

Stop the crap b.s no-one wants ro coach LeBron point blank

No one wants to coach LeBum

Leflop is the reason. Hurley wanted Leflop gone. Now the Lakers get Bronny lol. What a joke

I’m the most loyal person money can buy lol. Money does talk

“I’m the most loyal person money can buy” lmao

I'll gladly take the job. Get paid fat, fired after 1 year, then 5 more years of pay cheque

I don't know about you guy's but 70 Million I would coach any team lol

Nobody wants to coach Lebronzosexual. You always end up as an excuse for his failure.

Cuz he wants no parts of LeBron BS

Lakers are a Play-In purgatory team until Bron retires. That is a reality, JJ most likely will be the coach and fired once Bron is gone. So the next two/three years they are doomed to irrelevancy.

Stephen A lowkey jealous af, because Molly cannot resist the Rizz of Shay Shay

Regular folks don't know how difficult it is too just uproot your family and move across the Country.

He told you Why....Now let's hear why yall think he said No instead..lol

Shannon, it's not about money

Lebron is the goat, that's what some say, so why is nobody lining up to coach him🤔🤣

Best segment of the whole show

Those trash Lakers are getting desperate. 😂😅

Shannon needs to realize moneys not everything to someone.
