Mullen to UNLV

[TheOriginalCane]

what about giving him CO HC lol.

Unfortunately...

I agree; I liked him and thought he did a good job. Maybe they threw a bag at him?

He didn’t need a bag he had a good contract at UF. He clearly did it for the HC title. Guess he wasn’t getting the traction he wanted and figured this would springboard him faster

Big get for Vegas.

Great hire for UNLV, but probably a stepping stone job for Mullen.

Probably? If he was 10-15 years older, maybe he stays. At 52, he's only still there after 3 years if UNLV reverts back to a meh MWC team.

He's a smart guy and a good coach. If UNLV is serious about their NIL, he's going to do well there.

I know a place that was interested in striking that deal.

Depressing to know, guy is elite

 

[nycane]

I think he can be a consistent winner and playoff threat there. Elite playcaller who should attract QBs in the Portal. Nevada is starting to produce more good players.

apparently they committed heavily to NIL.

I think coaches are seeing that there's a lot of money and desire many places. The new landscape may bring big wins to little teams.

Where did Barry Odom go?

 

[TemplarCane]

He's been an $EC HC and may not want a OC job, especially if his ego tells him he's a better HC than his boss, right to wrong. He isn't desperate for money. UNLV seems like a good spot to rejuvenate his career.

Where did Barry Odom go?

Purdue

 

[Rellyrell]

If Mullen kills it at UNLV, he’ll be back at another P4 program.

I might be wrong about this but doesn’t the Vegas area have some similar youth prep type programs maybe in the mold of IMG? Not that specifically but I know they’ve been doing that with baseball for a long time

Figure if they turn that into a sports destination for prep it could trickle down to the football programs

If you’re not earning, you’re getting poorer. He’s getting much, much more a year than he was in the booth. Of course he needs the money.

The jokes about Mullen’s wife kissing players on the lips before every game in Las Vegas of all places will flow. Can’t wait to see them roll in.

Along these same lines where is Jimbo Fisher these days, aside from sitting home counting money

Need and want are two very different things. He lives in Gainesvlle he’s doing just fine
