University of Connecticut men's basketball head coach Dan Hurley will remain at the school. Hurley signed a six-year, $32.1 million deal to stay with UConn after his 2023 national title.
Hurley was offered a six-year, $70 million contract by the Los Angeles Lakers, but he ultimately decided to stay at UConn. Hurley is the first back-to-back champion in UConn history and the third in the last 40 years of the NCAA Tournament.
Hurley's decision is a major victory for UConn. The Huskies have been one of the most successful college basketball programs in the country in recent years, and Hurley is a big reason for that success. He has led UConn to two national championships in the last three years, and he has also won the Big East regular season and tournament titles twice.
Conclusion
Hurley's decision to stay at UConn is a reminder that there is no better job than being a top college coach. The money and prestige that comes with coaching in the NBA is tempting, but there is nothing quite like the feeling of winning a national championship. Hurley has proven that he is one of the best coaches in the country, and he is now poised to lead UConn to even greater heights.
