UConn coach Dan Hurley offered free food for life for his stay in Storrs

UConn head coach Dan Hurley will likely never go hungry again in Connecticut.

Some of the most popular places in the state are ready to make sure he’s fed for life.

“You have the Lakers against UConn, you have LA against Storrs, talk about David and Goliath,” J. Timothy Tavern manager Rino Ouellet said.

First, J. Timothy’s Tavern in Plainville tweeted at the double championship coach saying, “Let us know Coach when you want wings!” FOR LIFE!”

One of the co-owners of Martin Rosol’s Meats chimed in on the thread offering free hot dogs and kielbasa. Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria tweeted after Coach Hurley announced he was staying at Storrs: “Same at Pepe’s.”

“We were trying to do everything we could to entice him to stay at UConn,” said Tim Rosol, co-owner of Martin Rosol’s Meats.

Rosol added that he and his family are big UConn fans.

“I went to UConn, my brother went to UConn and met his wife at UConn. We go to UConn games and we’re season ticket holders,” Rosol added. “It was definitely a relief to hear he was coming back, and we’re aiming for a hat-trick.

Patrons are also hoping for a third straight title for the men’s basketball team and Hurley.

“I’m so excited, just for him, for his family, for his team. Look at the guys who came back because they wanted to play with him. I think it’s wonderful that it’s staying here,” said Jeannie Ziomek of Middletown.

The staff at J. Timothy’s wanted the Huskies coach to know how much he is appreciated.

“It showed a big thing, you have a very small state that cares so much,” Ouellet said.
