Dan Hurley is focused on a budding dynasty at UConn, not the job opening at Kentucky.

Following Monday night’s 75-60 win over Purdue, the sixth-year Husky head coach was asked in general terms about his future at Connecticut. With John Calipari leaving Kentucky to take over at Arkansas, Hurley was immediately linked to what is one of the highest-profile jobs in the sport.

“I don’t think that’s a concern,” Hurley said with a laugh. “My wife, you should have her answer that.

“I mean, we just went to Rhode Island, which I had to drag her to, and then to Connecticut. I got her closer. And now further? I can’t afford a divorce right now, too. I just started making money.”

Hurley has spent the entirety of his basketball career in the Northeast. He was born in New Jersey. He played point guard for Seton Hall in college. His first assistant job was at a Jersey City high school. Then he went on to Rutgers, then St. Benedict’s Prep — a catholic school in Newark — then Wagner and Rhode Island before getting the head job in Storrs.

In June of last year, UConn awarded Hurley with a new 6-year deal that would pay him $5 million in 2023-24. After winning consecutive national championships, he could be in line for another raise. UConn athletic director David Benedict confirmed as much to ESPN after the title game.

“We will move as quickly as it makes sense to move,” Benedict told ESPN’s Pete Thamel. “I mean, we’re not even an hour postgame. But yeah, we’ll look forward to having conversations, whether it be with Coach or his agent, and make sure we’re all in a good place.

“No different than what we did last year. We’re going to continue to do everything we possibly can to put him, his staff and this program in a position to compete for championships. Obviously part of that is retention, and so we want to retain people.”

UConn is 1 of 3 schools to have won back-to-back national championships in college basketball since John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins ran the sport. The previous 2 (Duke and Florida) both failed in their quests for a 3-peat. Rather than think about his financial future, Hurley seems to have his mind set on making history.

“Now you’re thinking in your brain, as I’m looking at the locker room, about the chance to do it 3 times, like a dynasty in modern times,” Hurley said. “I mean, that’s what I’m thinking about.”

Calipari officially said goodbye to Kentucky after 15 seasons on Tuesday. In a nearly 4-minute video posted to social media, the longtime UK coach said he felt a different voice was needed to move the program forward.

With 12 consecutive NCAA Tournament wins — all by double-digits — some view Hurley as the best in the game right now. Several early lists of candidates for the Kentucky job included his name alongside the likes of Nate Oats, Jay Wright, Scott Drew, and Billy Donovan.

Oats said Monday he’s committed to Alabama. Wright said ahead of the national championship he was a firm no.
