Football talks

With Harper we might see a different reaction, Joe. No?

Not sure. He’s definitely football 1st 2nd and 3rd, but his job is the entire athletic department, so … but he’s not nearly as in tune with basketball as he is football.

I think it's unwise to have boosters put their $$ for a "name" BB coach. Smarter to get an up and comer and put the money to NIL. If there is money for both then I think you absolutely get the best name available. But I don't think there is.

WW is coaching at McNeese State. We can't beat MSU as far as salary goes? That is not a money issue...

This isn’t the worst thing given today’s athletic landscape. Football rules the roost, so you’ve got to go all-in if you want to move up in conferences.

Basketball may need to stay with CKK for that reason.

Remember that Harper gets judged on his performance as an AD. If he’s making us money and putting us in a better position to excel, he may earn his raise at UNLV… or… he may earn a promotion to a P5 school. He checks a lot of boxes AND appears to be a solid AD.

This is the final year of his show cause status so we wouldn’t be the only suitors.

What are the odds we lose Harper before we win an NCAA Tournament game?

What was his record last year, 29-2 was it? UNLV will not be the only suitors.

Could become much greater if we win a bowl game or make it to the MWC Championship Game.

I stopped following bb about 15 years ago. What I've gathered from this FOOTBALL board is he hasn't done very well. I see he is just over .500 in wins. What's the problem? Is it his coaching? Recruiting talent? His intangibles and inability to get the most out of his players? Is it time to move on?

He cant coach, that's number 1, his recruiting is so-so, he got Thomas, that was huge, but overall he doesnt recruit to what type of offense they run, but then again, i really dont know what they run outside of the weave and let Thomas dribble and attack, so frustrating, but with that offense you need 3 guys who can handle the ball and attack and dish to open shooters, did i say shooters, does UNLV have shooters?
