UNLV2001

UNLV Hires TJ Otzelberger for $1.1 million a year

Recommended Posts

Arrigo says the $$$ boosters are Boyd - Of the Sam's Town Boyd family & the Boyd School of Law ..........2nd name was Goman (not Gorman!) - I have no idea of any wealthy locals of that name (not that I know everyone with $$) or it was a mispronunciation of possibly Gaughan of the gaming Gaughan Family who's got the South Point Casino

That's a bit brash for a fan of a team that has sucked for the better part of the past 28 years. 

You should actually accomplish something before you talk down to anyone.

So silly. Grow up. That is like you as a Nevada fan saying you can never have an opinion on Duke because they have been more successful than your program. Is this really the brain you have to engage life with?

I’m not arguing that Muss isn’t a great coach and we didn’t catch lightening in a bottle with him.  We certainly did.   It’s funny you mention 1 and dones.  In that same time period we’ve had 6 NCAA tournament appearances (7 after this season).  And 4 of them have resulted in at least 1 tournament win and 2 sweet 16 appearances.  And who knows what happens this year.  In the same 20 year period I mentioned, UNLV has 7 tournament appearances. 5 of which are 1 and dones.  You’ve advanced to the second round twice and one sweet 16.

We won’t go back to 1 and dones every 5 years like you suggest

Notice I drew no comparison argument. I am simply evaluating UNR on it's own. Your program shows a ceiling of an NCAA tournament every five years when you don't catch lightening in a bottle like Muss. UNLV is much worse. Yet it is telling that you can't deal with the reality of your own program without benchmarking it against UNLV...

For starters, multiple titles in two conferences, twice as many sweet 16 runs. 

You guys are founding members of the MW, yet we have done more here than you have and USU is closing in. 

As mentioned, Vegas fans shouldn't be talking down to anyone. 

 

MWC is nowhere what it used to be when BYU, Utah, New Mexico, SDSU and UNLV were all battling it out...

Hell even AFA had a 4 year stretch where it finished top 50 Kenpom and won the MWC.

All is well, For Rice is gone.

I hadn't heard this before, but they said on the news a few minutes ago that the Wofford coach (is it Mike Young) is in the mix? maybe interested, i guess.

That'll be a ticket seller for that hate Menzies crowd...lol

I don’t think Alford checks all the boxes that DRF said the next coach would have to possess. He also wouldn’t go over well with most Rebel fans either.

copy that...sounds like bad blood there. On paper it looks good though...former UCLA coach (who they're still paying) who's taken two programs to the Sweet 16 and four programs to the NCAA tournament.

If something like this goes down, then DRF the boosters & UNLV got played once again & will be out $800,000 for basically nothing 

I sure hope that DRF has a WRITTEN contract that the boosters are the ones paying off the $800K so that UNLV isn't stuck paying off what would be a major bungle :foottap:

DRF stuck her neck out with that comment that "the new coach would be a known name in a group that included the likes of John Gruden LV Raiders coach - That doesn't sound like a coach from Wofford to me 

There's only a few names that have been mentioned with that name / face recognition........Pitino & Alford being two

The way she said that is what made me think she already has something in place. I could be wrong though lol. I also thought she almost let it slip.

If that happens (almost 0 percent it does), DRF should step down immediately.

Of course at the beginning of the last coaching search it seemed 0 percent we'd stoop as low as Marv, but alas...

Agreed. If it isn't Matta, Hoiberg, Alford, Kidd, or Pitino, lots of people will be disappointed.

Agree - that made it sound like it was all a done deal in a way.........then comes the search firm, we talked to no one lines

So it went from big name done deal to we need to go find that big name :foottap:

UNLV basketball has been exhausting for so long and this coach thing is even more exhausting. So much nonsense. The only person I believe is Ernie.  Everybody else is just regurgitating gossip so they can claim some sort of weirdo fame when one of their 30 predictions sticks to the wall.  I might have to tune out for a while.
