THIS COULD BE GOOD..

Doing some sleuthing and Fred Walker of the LV Raiders has worked under Mullen during the Dak era at Miss State. While he’s never been an OC, he did call plays under Mullen at Miss State.

It would be an easy hire, imo. Already in town and worked with Mullen for years.

Dude, we watched 2 football games, the Raiders and Bears.

How do people go to Raiders games but not go to UNLV football games and not fill up the
Oh shit! I can see tomorrow’s headlines. @RebelScrub arrested at AD Harpers home for cuddling with the AD

Yeah no. Not until he gets rid of Kruger and the volleyball bad female team.

That was a masterful stroke of genius. The best Football Athletic Director Of ALL TIME.

Though.

Dude does anyone have the full game?

Washington State loses HC

That is going to guarantee that the new PAC will turn into the have and have not conference where a couple of teams will stay at the top and the rest will tread water.
And SDSU... the tournament credits payout structure was specifically created for those 3 teams. It hurts teams like CSU, Fresno, WSU that will struggle in this conference, especially if they add Memphis and St. Mary's.

When is CDM going to announce his coaching staff?

Odom took three weeks to install his own staff. So that gives Mullen a couple of weeks to get his staff hired and onboard if he’s on a similar schedule. The next date of interest is Jan . 19. ( this date was hard to find and could be off by a few days either way) That’s the last date for enrollment in the spring semester. Important to get players in spring ball.

11 wins with qbs that are probably in bottom 25% as far as throwing

A lot of the running stats have to do with Hajj improvising on broken plays which pumped up the numbers. I think half of Marion's playcalls were just **** it, send dudes out on 25 yard patterns and let Hajj figure it out.
There’s some truth to that. Offense was supposed to operate differently and not be a complementary/game management offense. Everything Marion was saying last offseason was this will be an attacking offense with emphasis on speed/time.

As the games got more meaningful down the stretch, the more conservative the playcalling got.

It’ll also guarantee a lot of crying and bickering from that conference. You’re basically giving more money to Boise and Gonzaga, while simultaneously being Wazzu and Oregon States bitch.

It's all G5....

I get a feeling if UNLV was in the condition where they needed to go to the PAC, then the PAC would most likely take advantage of that and offer a partial media payment to UNLV.

It's fun speculating on this stuff, but I'll be glad when it's no longer up in the air and it's all done with one way or another..

100%. The only caveat I’d make to that statement is that holding out for a Big12 invite even if it fails is likely worth the risk of losing out on the PAC. If that happens and UNLV continues to be a powerhouse out west it will only be a matter of time before the PAC makes another invite. In my mind we either end up in the Big12 or PAC in the long run. In that mindset holding out for the Big12 is worth the risk.

Fair point.

I'll stand by if there is no BIG12 invite then this was mistake long term. If there is then it was the right call.

Camac has gone portaling

Mullen alluded to seeing some portal entries and "testing the market" with some players.
Hopefully we can retain many of these guys.
Truth is we are already losing a ton from just an eligibility standpoint. It seems like a huge chunk of our promising returners are in the portal too now.
Mullen has his work cut out.
The number was closing in on 20 this morning. UNLV better be happy they swung for the fences for a coach, otherwise next year could have put UNLV right back to where they were prior to Odom, but with a much weaker MWC in the future. I hope they get NIU along with another team from back east on board, and I hope the staff coming in with Mullen can both recruit replacements and talk some of the players that have gone into the portal into staying at UNLV.

CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

Might be tough with Vance Vice being out. I think we'll have a better idea by Friday as to who our primary coordinators are. I don't expect Mullen to dawdle with filling out the rest of the staff. Its good to see how active Mullen and his new Chief of recruiting have been on their own.
Also likely that some of those coaches may bring a few players with them.

Washington State loses HC

Did you miss the part where they keep 50% of their CFP payouts and the the rest of the payments split for all. That provision is only added because Boise thinks it's going to dominate the conference and make CFP on regular basis. No one else would argue they're in that position when they all chose to leave. That's worth 3 million a year. Same goes for basketball which is why they were able to get Gonzaga.
