Many view UConn head coach Dan Hurley as Kentucky’s dream candidate to replace John Calipari, but it certainly sounds like any effort to land him would be a waste of time.
CBS Sports' Matt Norlander reported Thursday that Hurley has a “zero percent chance” of leaving UConn for Kentucky. A source told Norlander that an offer of $20 million per year would not be enough to tempt Hurley into making the move, with the coach set for a pay rise at UConn.
Hurley essentially laughed off the Kentucky rumors when asked about them following the Huskies' national championship. The rumors still lingered, however, especially after another top candidate took himself out of the running.
It is unclear where Kentucky goes from here, but the Hurley dream appears dead. It did not seem to have much life to begin with, either.
