To have Orgeron and Petersen say their not interested just solidifies what most in CFB already know is that UNLV is a joke and no self respecting coach would touch this program with a 10’ pole. Especially after the history UNLV has of treating their HC’s because they weren’t able to extinguish the dumpster fire. Nothing will top the embarrassment of pushing Jerry Tarkanian out the door! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this: Yeah, I'm sure UNLV is magically going to pay 4x the salary of the current top MWC coaches and more than some P5 HC. Arroyo was their highest paid coach ever at $1.5 million and now they're going to pay up $7 million He's now recalibrated to say they have $7 million total (assume for HC and assistants). Still think that's BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4UNLV Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Occasionally, in my mind's eye, I wonder if Arroyo maybe went in to ask for an extension or something, they got into a heated shouting match (no secret they don't like each other) and finally Harper said 'you're out of here'. Just like that. No plan ahead of time, lol. And here we are. And yet, they have (had) an opportunity, but typical UNLV admin..some things never change.

ph90702 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Mike Stoops is making $650,000 per year at Kentucky. My guess is that we’re offering $1.5 million per year. Why not give Dan Mullen a phone call? Or Mike Rotch? Or Dick Bukkake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an employer for over 30 years I can say if Harper lost his cool over being asked for a contract negotiation then he has ZERO business being in management. As the days tick buy he has bought every little bit of this process. I hope he has a secret Santa somewhere out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishoot2thrill Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 This is playing out exactly how every UNLV coaching hire has. Hahaha Man. What a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lootz Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I have a feeling we really need to temper our expectations. Could it be that we were waiting on certain teams to finish their respective seasons before a HC is announced (or maybe are still waiting)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 You kinda have to admire UNLV’s consistency with these coaching searches. Obviously the post Rice search is the standard. But every follow up has been highly entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they waiting for bowl games and it’s Kentucky (Mike Stoops), or USC (Donte Williams), UNLV going to be waiting past New Years Day to have a coach named. Sumlin can be named already if it were them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell the coach now or never and move on if they aren’t interested. No waiting. Now or never! if you are negotiating contracts with Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer or Chris Petersen, we can wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickdraw Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The biggest mess of every coaching search is always the threads here about it. While the TKM search will always be a classic example of cluster+++++ this search is still 100% unknown except for a bunch of social media whores trying to measure whose is biggest. Enjoy the shit-show thread and probably around the end of the week the usual suspects will start another fire thread when the new coach is announced. You see that is what is always consistent about the same few on this board. Peacocks preen and trolls troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
