Dan Hurley on Mike Francesa Podcast

Really enjoyable listen. Would recommend sticking around for the whole thing, it sounds like both guys relax a little by the end and you get some more unfiltered conversation. Dan is basically crying on air for the last couple minutes. Also a great anecdote from Mike on hearing from Mad Dog about his son cutting down the net. And Mike's pronunciation of Quinnipiac made me laugh at the end too.

Probably the best post championship interview- no surprise Francesa is a legendary interviewer- must listen- two of my favorite people in sports- let’s go Huskies!!

 

[Luna]

That was the best…what a great interviewer Mike Francesa is …great questions…got to learn more about Dan Hurley.. uconn and the big east

 

[August_West]

Lol. That pantload should be nowhere near Hurley.


Did franseesserr pretend to watch the tournament?

 

[Horatio]

Great interview. I’ll never forget when Mike and Chris went on the air immediately after our first championship in 99.

 

[Bazz4A]

Agreed with everyone above - best interview yet. Highly recommend.

 

[navery12]

As much as I'd love to hear more UConn content I have no interest in hearing Francesa's voice ever again

Dog carried his ass from mid 90’s on mike dog tourney stuff.

Dog carried his ass from mid 90’s on mike dog tourney stuff.

That could not be further from the truth. Francessa was on CBS working the tournament before Mike and the Mad Dog was even a show. If anyone was being carried for college basketball it was the Dog.

Gotta love "Qui nippy ac!"

I liked the way he hacked the pronounciation of Quinnipiac at the end when talking about them winning a title. I admit, I usually didn't like listening to them because they only talked about baseball, and I hate baseball, he did a decent job with this interview.

Yup . He was done with that job already.

His whole career was built on Ara Parseghian and subsequently bill Parcells. He got top billing for that. Mikes knowledge of college hoops stopped with mid 80s St. John’s. He gave up.

 

[Hoophound]

Good interview. Mike interrupts a few times when Dan was about to say some deep stuff, but otherwise, it was excellent. It is worth listening to even if you’ve listened to all the others. Mike was more prepared than most of the others. There were no obvious mistakes. He was well prepared.

 

[Umami Zen]

Imus took Mike under his wing and showed him the way.. Then he did the same with Mad Dog.. He was the Godfather to these guys.

 

[August_West]

imus laughed at those two. Fatso and fruit loops .

We all liked mike breen

We all liked mike breen

Breen was hilarious on that show. My fav was when he claimed to have stolen the Bulls playbook during g playoffs.

Great interview. I’ll never forget when Mike and Chris went on the air immediately after our first championship in 99.

I’ll take it a step deeper - after Tates shot in 1990 I was barely a teenager - they went back to the studio on cbs. Nantz was hosting - and he went to Francesa for the endgame analysis. Hilarious. Look it up on YouTube.

 

[MexicoHusky]

This is a really great interview

 

[mauconnfan]

Very good interview Mike was well prepared solid questions.

 

[Dibbie]

We’re really lucky to have Hurley. His tough exterior masks how cerebral he is, how much knowledge he has for the game snd how honest he is about his own growth

All season my non-UConn buddies said they liked the team but we’re sure about the coach. He was the X factor.

Love this. Need to get Clingan some Dunkin Donuts $ this next year.
