Dan Hurley Reportedly Offered Multiyear Contract to Be Pittsburgh's Head Coach

Rhode Island Rams head basketball coach Dan Hurley has reportedly been offered a multiyear contract worth upwards of $3 million per season to take over the same job for the Pittsburgh Panthers. 

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports first reported the terms of Pitt's proposal. He also noted staying with URI or moving to the Connecticut Huskies are the other options "still in play."

Hurley was quick to dismiss talk about his future Saturday following the Rams' 87-62 loss to the Duke Blue Devils in the second round of the 2018 NCAA tournament, per Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com.

"Listen, I could give a crap about who's got an opening anywhere," Hurley said. "I haven't thought about it for a second. I could care less what any other school in the country that's looking for a coach or talks about me on social media—I could give two craps about that. My heart, my mind is with this program and these players that just lost a brutal game after having an amazing last couple seasons, and for me it's easy."

Sources told Goodman that Hurley preferred UConn over Pittsburgh since nine Panthers players have received clearance to explore a potential transfer.

Adam Zagoria of Zags Blog reported officials from both prospective schools spoke with Hurley on Monday. He's expected to talk with Rhode Island athletic director Thorr Bjorn on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old New Jersey native is signed to the Rams through the 2023-24 college basketball season and made $1 million for the 2017-18 campaign, including a $300,000 base salary, while leading the program to its second straight March Madness appearance, per Zagoria.

Hurley spent a decade as the head coach at Saint Benedict's Preparatory School before moving to the college ranks with the Wagner Seahawks in 2010.

He joined URI in 2012 after two seasons at Wagner. In all, he's compiled a 151-105 record across eight years as a collegiate head coach.
