After leading Connecticut to a national title, Dan Hurley has agreed to a new six-year contract that guarantees him nearly $33 million and puts him among the highest-paid coaches in men's basketball, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Hurley's new deal keeps him under contract through the 2028-29 season and includes incentives for athletic and academic success that could push the full value of the deal even higher, sources said.
Hurley, who developed a reputation as one of the nation's top program builders at Wagner, Rhode Island and UConn, resurrected a Huskies program that had fallen into irrelevancy.
After reestablishing UConn as a Big East power upon the school's reentry into the conference in 2020, Hurley delivered the program's fifth national championship with a dominant March run that culminated with a title victory over San Diego State in April.
