Dan Hurley, who has led the UConn Huskies to back-to-back national championships, was the Cincinnati Bengals' Ruler of the Jungle on Sunday before their Week 1 season opener against the New England Patriots.

The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway shared video of Hurley at Paycor Stadium.

Hurley, who has said he's been a fan of the Bengals since the Freezer Bowl, concluded postgame remarks after UConn's win against Xavier in January at Cintas Center by saying, "Thank you. Who Dey."

The Bengals' Ruler of the Jungle for last season's home opener was former star receiver AJ Green.
