Dan Hurley turned six-year, $70 million offer.
Hurley, who will return to UConn for a potential third straight national title, was offered a six-year, $70 million deal with the Lakers, per the report.BREAKING: Connecticut’s Dan Hurley has turned down the Los Angeles Lakers’ six-year, $70 million offer and will return to chase a third straight national title, sources tell ESPN. LA would’ve made him one of NBA’s six highest paid coaches.Hurley signed a six-year, $32.1 million deal with UConn after the 2022-23 season.
Hurley told Wojnarowski on Sunday that the Lakers made a “compelling case” and presented a “compelling vision” for him to become their next coach but that he loves what he has built with the two-time defending national champion Huskies. Shortly before the ESPN report, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, who was in contact with Hurley throughout the weekend, said the state will “make sure he’s the top-paid college coach” if he remains with the Huskies.
Hurley had the option of taking over one of the most famed franchises in pro sports, not to mention perhaps the chance to coach NBA all-time scoring leader LeBron James. But in the end, his stay in the coaching version of the transfer portal was brief — and he will remain at UConn, where he has gone 68-11 over the last two title-winning seasons.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
