Dan Hurley believes he'd be a better football coach than basketball coach

The tear that Dan Hurley's UConn team went on to win their second straight national title last year was as dominant a run as we've seen in college basketball in quite some time.

On the heels of building a modern dynasty, the Lakers tried to lure Hurley to the NBA with a six-year, $70 million deal but he ultimately decided to stay put in Storrs and pursue a three-peat.

During that flirtation with the Lakers job, there was plenty of chatter about whether Hurley's intense approach would translate to the NBA.

Coincidentally, yesterday while on a Yankees broadcast Hurley was asked whether good coaching can translate to any sport, and he shared he think's he'd be a better football coach than basketball coach.

"Yeah, I think the leadership piece and the psychology, the motivation, leading men through the ups and downs of these seasons."

"I think I'd be a better football coach than basketball, actually."

Pressed for why, Hurley shared "I just think my intensity, it fits football guys."

I know I can't be the only one who would love to see a successful coach in one sport take their talents to another sport to see if those skills that made them great in one sport would translate to the other.
