I heard Tate Martell talk last night on a podcast about a high star QB he could help flip to UNLV if we got Mullen. He didnt name names though. I just thought it was interesting.
So you're not referring to a specific player then? Or are you?THIS was just my opinion, but I think we will see AT LEAST a 4* flip when the spring signing opens. That's what I meant
Close the thread.Like you've ever found it.
Coaching graveyard in the sense that can’t name many that left here like Odom did, leave for a better job at a major program. The losing here was real for decades. So in that sense I said coaching graveyard. Now not so much is the new public perception.UNLV was an impossible job to have before 2020. Not sure if "coaching graveyard" is the right term more than it's just a function of having nothing desirable to offer recruits (world-class stadium, complex) and as a result were stuck hiring from a pool of candidates that had no better coaching options themselves. I mean, many have gone on to be head coaches again (Sanford, Hauck, Sanchez) after UNLV just to do what they did again before here (Hauck, FCS) or go to other programs and still achieve limited success (Sanford-Indiana St, Sanchez-New Mex St). This is more telling of their head coaching ability than anything UNLV ever did to them. UNLV didn't put them in a graveyard. Their talent and ability charted their course. If Odom was hired a decade ago, he likely fails. He knows this. That's why his caliber never applied prior. Odom is no dummy. He knew the program (post 2020) was an easy sell (relative to the MWC) and that if he can just beat who he's supposed to, he will be exalted back up to the P4 and get paid. He entered here thanking his lucky stars that Arroyo screwed it up and didn't claim the easy glory. There are dozens out there that could have achieved what Odom did here when you think about it.
While I completely agree, I just figured he's gone with Odom since they have such strong ties and history together.I think above anyone you make an effort to keep Shibest.
Shibest is close with Odom, he’s going to Purdue, as well as Scherer. I’m not sure Marion leaves for Purdue but he’s probably leaving for Oklahoma State as well as Coach Vice (alum of OSU). There’s a small possibility Marion stays, I think to be coaching under Mullen and kind of expanding the playbook and tweaking the playcalling would do Marion a lot of good. Going to Oklahoma state would be a great move too. He’ll be fine either way.I think above anyone you make an effort to keep Shibest.
THIS was just my opinion, but I think we will see AT LEAST a 4* flip when the spring signing opens. That's what I meantAs in singular?? or you talking about a specific one?
Like you've ever found it.
G spot. I like that
Those didn't end well, a hard pass on anything that DRF did!Can we helicopter him into the press conference like DRF did with Arroyo and Otz?
There is a 5* QB that is in the transfer portal that is very possible, but I am not talking any specific player.As in singular?? or you talking about a specific one?
Marion is gone as is most of the staff. I hope a few hang around like Logo and Hunkie, but Mullen will bring in his own guys.
As in singular?? or you talking about a specific one?Depending on who Mullen hires, we will see a 4* flip this April.
Definitely. you dont sign a coach like Dan Mullen without new friends to bring the cash in a G5 spot. Thats the truthNew friends came to the table during negotiations as Mullen's team had very specific requests and needed assurances.
