Did that old diner that would take game meat and cut into steaks take care of that for you?
Available candidates (non UNLV staff)
- Thread starter Rosegreen1
- Start date
That’s a good speculation post. Now watch Arrigo and other phony insiders rip you off.
If Lynn is the NFL coach that DID reach out to Harper than it is more than possible.
First time I saw Lynn's name pop up I thought..Huh...
But more I think about it the more I kinda like it.
Seems like Marion is being fully considered now according to FootballScoop on X.
As a package deal..100%.
Anthony as HC would be interesting but would need to see his staff. Would definitely need some college guys to help navigate NIL/PORTAL/RECRUITING stuff.
Hopefully this is fake news and if not what happened to all the experienced coaches who reached out? The same thing as all the name coaches that reached out before MM was announced?
Yeah I was going to say something similar. If he's now all of a sudden a candidate we're in trouble.
Not saying he isn't being considered but that feels like a super lazy put some content out there article. Kind of a no brainer for schools to look inward during a successful run.
Sources being Rebel Net and Twitter posts and likely Marion himself. And nope I'm not joking about the last one. 🙂

The list of successful NFL to college coaches is shorter than short. Jim Mora, Pete Carroll and Bill O’Brien and who else? You can fill a graveyard with those who failed.
One other thing to point out , this was the LVRJ list of possibles two years ago.
Mike Stoops
Gary patterson
Shane Steichen
Keenan McCardell
Scott Frost
Joe Klanderman
Collin Klein
Ryan Grubb
So don’t think LVRJ will be right this time either.

I think it would not be unreasonable if all 3 coordinators at least get a preliminary interview, at least the ones that are interested. Shibest may not be.
This is true it's a completely different game.
It really would come down to a strong staff especially guys with good recruiting track records.
Remember when they said Jason Kidd was coming to coach the basketball team?
Edited my post I forgot the most obvious one Carroll.
Shibest seems like a lifer content with what he does. Do something you like and are good at. Minimal stress responsibility. Decent paycheck. Some guys are wired that way.
Mike Stoops is one to watch. Harper sort of alluded to him in the presser. That would be a hard sell, imo.
If it's Mike Stoops @reagan21 will drink bleach.
If you want to slow any excitement around the program to a grinding halt Mike Stoops is your guy.
I think I'd rather have Rolovich.
As for being a hard sell.
'His brother was a really good coach and I'm proud to announce Mike Stoops as the next HC of UNLV football'
It's locked in our bathroom cabinet just in case.
Hello once again 2 and 3 win seasons if Marion is actually hired as the head coach.
I understand what you’re saying, but you have to give some context. He took over a program that was on probation. Wasn’t even eligible for the conference title game his first 2 seasons. Florida St? That was at height when they won a national title, so there was a big gap in talent level. Both bowl losses were by 3 points. Plus he’s had almost a decade of time since being a HC to be able to figure what what he could have done better. Really a moot point anyway since he has turned down opportunities to interview for P4 jobs the past couple of years. He seems perfectly content being a DC.

Gap in talent level? Miami had the fourth most drafted players in the NFL. When you have that kind of talent and eeking by and getting blown out by rivals, at some point it’s not the talent, right?
Patterson would be great but does he even want to deal with the portal/nil anymore? I don't know.
Lynn would be interesting but would need to surround himself with a lot of college guys familiar with the portal/NIL and recruiting.
Harsin no brainer. Only downside is being completely out of the game a couple years. But I'd still definitely make that call.
Mullen would be an absolute swing for the fences hire that could motivate boosters and NIL money.
David Shaw in an executive role in NFL. Not sure if he wants back into coaching anymore or not.
Rich Rod was candidate last time. Not sure if he would be interested in jumping from one G5 school to another or if he'd rather wait for one more stab at a P4 job. Haven't seen any updates but I think he's still in mix for WVU. I'd be pretty happy if that's where we landed.
We are the Stanford of the less west than Stanford.
The problem is that we aren't hiring any of the great names that we come up with. Who is coaching at Liberty or Gorman? That's who gets the nod...
Of this list, Lynn is the biggest question mark. All others would be a a very good hire that would make a splash.
Meant during the time period (obviously). Not overall. Miami was a decent ACC team, Florida St won a title. Florida State had 30 draft picks from 2013-2015, including 6 1st rounders and 7 2nd rounders. Big gap there. That’s my point. Not trying to argue here, just simply thought he’d be a good choice. He did beat Florida and some of those losses to Florida St were much closer than they should have been. At the end of the day, we’re not getting a sure fire candidate. Anyone we get will be with some risk and unknowns. That just where we are at. Bryan Hardin, who seems to be among everyone’s favorites, didn’t even last 2 seasons at Auburn so not exactly a slam dunk either.
Could get behind anyone on that list. Especially if Lynn brought his son. Wonder if his son got the HC job, if he’d come work with him as OC? That could be the best of both worlds potentially.
I was thinking that as well. A Lane Kiffin/Monty Kiffin scenario
Why not Sanford since he just took Faith Lutheran to the state championship and now UNLV has nice locker rooms, he should have no excuse to do well now ha
I think he might be the hire, which is...meh
Anything that sounds like Rollie Massimino is a hard pass for me!
You did not. Just a few bleach drinkers speculating.
