Rhode Island's Dan Hurley is headed to UConn on a six-year deal to become its new head coach, multiple sources told ESPN.
Hurley, 45, will replace Kevin Ollie, who was fired by the Huskies earlier this month after a fourth subpar season.
Hurley, who informed his team of the decision early Thursday morning, inherited a fledging Rhode Island program six seasons ago and took the Rams to the NCAA tournament in each of the past two years. He has weighed three offers over the past couple of days, from UConn and Pittsburgh as well as an increased, long-term offer from Rhode Island.
