00:00So, where we went from yesterday to today is that Dan Hurley is in Lipstick City, apparently
00:08for the weekend.
00:09I'm not feeling the one and done where he's going to fly in today and fly out tonight
00:17back to the East Coast.
00:18I think they're going to try to, you know, trap him there and keep him there and get
00:23a deal done with him.
00:25But you feel like, still, that he's playing like a Harbaugh card on UConn.
00:33I do.
00:34And I think the fact that Coach Geno got a long-term contract extension recently upset
00:39him.
00:40There's a lot of parallels between him and Harbaugh.
00:43And you know, Harbaugh beat Ohio State, wanted an extension.
00:47You know, every time he did something positive, he wanted more money.
00:51And then winning the championship, like, you know, was always never enough.
00:56And Harbaugh used the NFL for a couple of years.
00:58Now, I'm not saying, Scott, I agree with a lot of the stuff he said about yesterday,
01:02about the Lakers and LA and all that type of stuff.
01:04But it's so out of the blue, Scott, is Hurley going to uproot his life?
01:08Like, it wasn't like this has been a long time in the works, wasn't like they were
01:12working on this.
01:13This is like, boom, come to LA and bam, here's a blank check and change your life.
01:18But I think he's going to give UConn an opportunity.
01:21You know, we'll see how it plays out.
01:23The fact that there hasn't been the outright denial yet, but let's not forget, Harbaugh
01:27met with the Vikings last year, bro, right, and then won a national championship with
01:31Michigan and then left after.
01:33So I think maybe the Coke machine is starting to get rocked a little bit here, Scott.
01:38But you know, Windhorse is a pretty in, you know, he's not a hype guy in a lot of these
01:43media reports.
01:44But I trust Windhorse.
01:46And Windy said basically that they're just getting to know each other.
01:50Like Hurley's listening to them, that this is, you know, it's kind of out of the blue.
01:54Hurley's going to listen to what they have to say.
01:56And oh yeah, by the way, Windhorse brought up the fact that he's talking with UConn at
02:01the same time right now.
02:03And UConn reportedly, Scott, right on cue, are scrambling to put together the extension
02:09and the offer.
02:10So let's see how it plays out.
02:11I heard they already have.
02:13I heard they've already offered him way more money to stay.
02:19And they should.
02:20And I don't, dude, the thing with the Lakers, it's a short term deal, man, right?
02:25You've got this, you got LeBron for a couple of years and stuff.
02:27I just don't think he can win.
02:28It's nothing against him.
02:29I think he's a great coach.
02:30I think the Lakers are a great organization.
02:32But I don't think the coach is the issue there, Scott.
02:35That's just my deal with that.
02:37But you know, is he going to end up in the NBA eventually?
02:41Probably if this is where we're going.
02:42You know, Jay Wright always got offered.
02:44He always said no, right?
02:46So it'll be, I'm interested to see if Hurley, but I get the feeling Hurley stays in college,
02:50Scott.
02:51I'm going to stick to my original.
02:52And Wright, actually, you know, he was the first guy to dive out of college basketball
02:59because I think he saw the break coming from the waves, that it was changing.
03:05And the NIL stuff, that might have an effect on Hurley thinking, I can't keep up with this
03:10at UConn, right?
03:11You're right, Scott.
03:12How much longer does UConn really have?
