Winning 3 titles in this era is beyond special. There are some many challenges to winning a NC today.
First of all, needing to win 6 consecutive games in an era of widely available talent. Mid majors competing is a recent occurrence and it constitutes a huge obstacle to top teams.
The transfer portal, NIL, early NBA entry, all these things muck up team chemistry and development. Plus, Nobody keeps Kareem or Walton level talent for 4 years, so having NBA legend talent is a 1-2 year window, at best.
Hurley is brash and unlikable, but if he wins #3, given the era, he’ll be in the conversation, and that’s saying something.
