00:02 You know, like if you look at Harbaugh,

00:05 Harbaugh took the Chargers job

00:07 and they have Justin Herbert, right?

00:11 Like that's a little bit more of a selling point.

00:13 It's like, you know, listen,

00:14 Herbert's like 25 years old, whatever he is,

00:16 you know, 25, 26, 20, how old is Herbert?

00:19 25, 26 years old right now.

00:21 So might be going on 27,

00:23 but like Herbert's still in his prime, right?

00:26 He's got a lot of years left, Justin Herbert.

00:28 You say you've got a stabilized quarterback situation.

00:31 If you're Hurley, like it's not stable, the Lakers,

00:34 and it wasn't enough money.

00:36 That's, you know, that was my take.

00:37 So I never really thought he was gonna take it.

00:39 I know everybody just assumed that he would,

00:41 but I was like, no, he's kind of different.

00:43 And if, you know, the way I see it too,

00:46 I could see Hurley coaching like the Knicks.

00:48 Like Thibodeau's not gonna be around forever, right?

00:52 So if I was the Knicks, that's what I would do.

00:55 I would wait it out with Thibodeau.

00:57 You got a good thing going right now.

00:59 And then, you know, you make an offer to Hurley

01:02 and it's a little bit different.

01:03 Sort of like Otani with the Dodgers.

01:04 Like Hurley wouldn't really even have to move out

01:07 of his house if he didn't want to, right?

01:09 Like UConn in New York or whatever, right?

01:12 Like he would, but you know what I'm saying?

01:13 It's not like a massive move.

01:16 You know, if the Brooklyn Nets had a bunch of like

01:18 cap space and money and somehow they drafted a superstar,

01:22 one of his superstars or something,

01:25 I could see him on the East Coast,

01:26 but I never really figured Hurley to be the coach

01:28 of the Lakers and gonna uproot everything right now.

01:32 It seemed kind of sudden as well.
