Tough call... Atleast Hurley is a proven winner. Wade if he stays on the recruiting roll he is on, looks like he will win big also, as much as I hate to say it...

I dont find them to be jerks. Gotta be mean to be a jerk. They are good coaches tho. Punks would be a better word imo.

Both grade A punks. Id love if either was at UK. Hurley and Wade good type of punk. Golden at Florida not the type of Punk you want running your program. That dudes a grade A creep.

Cal. Self-centered bigger jerk and lousy in-game coach. Blew the Wisconsin game, almost blew the National championship against Kansas, was terrible his last few Kentucky seasons using the wrong players and making minimal adjustments. Then blamed the fans.

Going back to the OP.............I dunno. People see these guys in game and think oh man these guys are absolute jerks but hoenstly they might not be. Both are good coaches tho.

Borth are good coaches. Hurley acts like an entitled spoiled rotten brat during games. John McEnroe type personality. Will Wade is unscrupulous and will break any rule to win. Both lack integrity and character. I don't care if my coach is a good person or not. Pitino and the Cal early years they wanted to win more than taking their next breath, but both held themselves on court to higher standards than Hurley and Wade.

Hurley has that Bobby Knight like quality that makes him the biggest A hole in the game in my book. Like they hang out in the worst part of the spectrum.

Hurley might be kind of arrogant like Knight, but I don’t consider Hurley to be a bad person like Knight.

Blew it when he was at Memphis vs Kansas. Couldn’t hit FTs down the stretch.

Same thing against Kansas State (with K. State's star player unable to play) where he kept going to the same play over and over to P.J. Washington despite observation that P.J. was off on shooting free throws.

Don't care who's a jerk. If either one coached here, we'd love them.

Adolph Rupp wasn't the nicest person from what I've heard. We still hang those banners proudly.
With many others speaking glowingly and nostalgically around a coach who was booted after an FBI investigation surfaced recruits being entertained by hookers.

The Godfathers have a combined 3 forfeited final fours.

Hurley makes faces. Wade, well, he's a scumbag.

I’ll take a jerk who’s won multiple championships, and a jerk who can recruit with the big dogs, over a non jerk who hasn’t even won a conference championship, and takes creepy photos with recruits who end up signing to play for the other two!

Some of y’all need to stick to TMZ, and leave the sports to the rest of us secure and confident members of the fan base.

Both are good coaches but are borderline idiots, one is a proven cheater and is never going to change, the other is the biggest crybaby I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious LSU doesn’t care about their schools athletics being seen in a good light. Hurley acts like he’s so tough when security is around, challenging people to come out of the stands when he’s losing on the sidelines. He acts like a high strung lunatic while coaching. I’m not a fan of either, so glad he didn’t come here.

Most great coaches are jerks.
Pitino, Spurrier, Knight etc etc.
But I have to go with Hurley.
Dude is beyond simply being a jerk. Like there is something off with him. Comes across as psychotic. I could see the authorities finding bodies on his property one day.
