How would you/me/we know? Chittenden may have just chosen USC because of the amount of money. Did CBO try to poach him as well but unsuccessful? We just dont know. Unless you definitely have knowledge please tell.

He only came to UNLV because USC said he wouldn’t start until his junior year and UNLV offered him the starter job. USC offered him more than any kicker probably in the country so he left.

Are there any new guys inked today?

Unless CBO show that he tries to get those players that transfer out off UNLV to stay, I feel strongly that the money he spend in recruiting those players should be return to UNLV from his salaries.

Forget about the legacy. He maybe violated a contractual or ethical agreements.

That is how it is in any business. When you leave a company and find an employee from an old company you want to bring over, you make them an offer. I had an ex boss that was all pissed off because of the money they spent. As of April 2024, the FTC issued a rule effectively banning most non-compete agreements in employment contracts, meaning employers can generally not restrict where someone can work in the future as part of an employment agreement. This also hold to bringing some along with you, and since players are now employees, the same hold for them.

From what I hear, USC actually wanted him out of HS, but they were too deep at that position. They told him he wouldn't get the starting role until his Junior year. Supposedly (and this would be illegal), they approached him before the end of the season and told him they wanted him now.

Is this a surprise to anyone?

Nope

I don't understand the criticism. He did more for the Rebels than any other recent coach in a total of two years.

Sure, that’s not the dispute though. The term legacy to me is the dispute, Tark (obviously)has a legacy. Odom, good coach won a lot of games but there’s no bowl game hardware or MWC championship hardware in the complex. To me that’s not a legacy. There has to be consistency of beating top teams. Odom was 2-8 vs top 50 teams.

If CDM makes the CFP semifinals or even the finals, he immediately has a legacy, even if it’s just one year.

Except Odom had nothing to do with Chittenden leaving. I’d blame USC for that.

That might be ghe most pathetic post game interview with CKK yet. This team has the same firs as their coach. NONE!

The way CBO left the program and how much he interferes with the UNLV players...love what he have done but no legacy. Coach Mullen nearly replicates the talent loss or improves in every position but two. Cade Chittenden and Fisher Camac. Landen Thomas from ASU might be a good replacement for Camac. Chittenden position is still unfill.

And neither of them as good as Joel Anthony! Sigh

I would definitely have no problem talking about Odom's "legacy" especially if UNLV stays winning and he was the turning point in that.

It’s coaching, I get it, but a lot of the players recruited here seem to have major deficiencies in their game!
