Mullen
- Thread starter Buffel
- Start date
One thing to add, Mullen is from the Urban Meyer tree and we all saw what Urban thinks of UNLV prior to the championship game on big noon pregame.
I have no doubt that once this job opened, Urban probably told Mullen, look into this opportunity.

Im sure Odom and Mullen know each other as well. I know the vibe here is cap all over Odom, but he could help bring Mullen here from telling him about how he was successful here
Odom if anyone is trying to call him right now about "how was UNLV to you?"
The sad thing is being on these lists almost guarantees they won’t be the coach.
Not necessarily. Odom's name only came out of left field because he wasnt on anyones radar period and he called wanting the job. This time around with the seriousness weve shown, I wouldnt doubt for a minute that we are kicking the tires and especially in this case, they singled in on a singular name which means someone want to test the waters on that reception...
Maybe he is interested, maybe he wants his name out there for bigger programs to notice. We will see.
There is not much left to choose from. I'm sure he already did that.... anyone hearing anything besides rumors .?
Isnt that what we are all hearing... Rumors at this point, although being very specific in an article like this is more direct than anything weve seen to date
Better coaching resume than Odom prior to the UNLV job.

Burn this thread with fire.
It will save us all the disappointment when it doesn't happen.

I get it. But UNLV is not the same program it once was. Dan Mullen would be a great hire.
No Tim! I will not allow myself to believe this...
I refreshed this thread too many times...I am in a bad mood.
Guys' just a little perspective. IMO the word is out on UNLV's football locker rooms, weight room and the entire Fertitta football complex. Also, let's not forget UNLV has it's own lock rooms, offices and facilities at Allegiant. They don't share with any one! Further, the money has been raised to cover UNLV's football practice field. Although this issue has been discussed many times on Rebel.Net after reading an article last year on the Super Bowl and the SF 49's use of the UNLV facilities, they are top 10 in the country IMO. Also, the same design firm was hired by the Fertittas that designed both Gorman's and the UO Duck's facilities. Here's what the SF 49ers thought of UNLV's facilities! From the LV Sun last year during the Super Bowl. Note what a UO Duck alum observed about the UNLV football facilities. They are elite:
Either way, the tide began to turn once the players actually got a chance to check out the facilities for themselves. After a walk-through on Monday and a practice on Tuesday, the 49ers had nothing but good things to say about UNLV’s on-campus home.
“They’re great,” offensive lineman and UCLA alum Jake Brendel said of the facilities. “That’s the largest locker room I’ve ever seen in college. It’s been good.”
The two-story Fertitta Football complex took three years to build. It measures 73,000 square feet, with a 10,000-square-foot weight room and an expansive locker room that comfortably fits 112 lockers.
Defensive back Taushaun Gipson, a 12-year NFL veteran, said it wasn’t the UNLV he remembered from his college days at Wyoming.
“I’m shocked, because they’re in the Mountain West,” Gipson said with a smile. “I’m shocked the locker room is that nice. We’ve got to do better at Wyoming. The fields are the fields, but the weight room and everything is pretty decent, honestly.”
Third-year defensive back Deommodore Lenoir knows his way around elite facilities, as he spent his college career at Oregon, and he said UNLV stacked up nicely.
“UNLV, I love their locker room,” Lenoir said. “It reminds me of Oregon’s. The whole setup was exactly how ours was. The facilities are just like Oregon’s, too.”
The complex boasts coaches’ offices on the second floor, 2,500 square feet of kitchen space, three hydrotherapy tubs and a players’ lounge with multiple big-screen televisions and gaming systems.
Oh, and there’s a barbershop, too.
As the rainy weather subsides further throughout the week, UNLV’s reputation will rebound with it.
Defensive lineman Chase Young played at Ohio State, one of the best-funded football programs in the nation, and he had the final word on the situation.
“It’s real good,” Young said. “We’ve got the tubs for pre-practice, nice locker room. Definitely it’s a tip-top facility.”

I wish I knew. But I have no clue. However, my point is this. UNLV is the same school, but not the same football program. UNLV has elite football facilities and Odom who had limited success at Mizzou has established in only two years that UNLV can be transformed into a top 25 football program. On top of that, it appears UNLV is prepared to pay top $$$$ for a G5 school in order to hire the RIGHT head football coach. From what I can recall, this is the first time since Ron Meyers that a UNLV football coach left and moved up to a higher paying job instead of getting fired. It's a different football program.

Nebraska Unveils $165M Osborne Legacy Complex
Not many programs in the nation can come with Nebraska when it comes to facilities. The Huskers released a video on their social media platforms Thursday, featu

Don't say it. Don't think it..Don't say it.....
Damn it..
This would be a really bizarre move for UNLV to leak this name only to announce another hire, especially knowing Mullen would be viewed as a home run hire and nearly anyone else outside of a few names would be a massive let down..
Nope I refuse to believe this is anything more that crap being thrown at a wall.
Still not comparable to UNLV/Raiders facilities+Fertitas' complex.A little humble pie and perspective:

WVU is interviewing OHIO State's assistant Co-OC for their HC after people like ESPN Pat McAfee and PAC Man Jones said it is Rich Rodriquez. Still no announcement. What is stopping RR and WVU from announcing?
Your right this is better.
This costs more than the Raider's practice facility and the Fertitta complex combined. A lot more
Allegiant doesn't count. We are talking about practice facilities.
My favorite kind of post. State a fact known in common knowledge. Say you know something else. Some of what you hear is good and some of what you hear is bad. Then imply if the good thing happens it will be good. If something good happens you say "my sources were right." If you are wrong you say, "that's what I feared they'd do."
Wow Reagan, you managed to make sense out off that. It did not make any sense to me when I read it. Not once but thrice.
Knowing his track record, it probably is
I don't ever want to trust anything Arrigo says. But this is a pretty definitive statement. Gdamnit Joe don't mess with us!!!
A potatoe according to some: It is a vegetable or maybe a fruit. It is definitely derived from a plant but I am not so sure?
I hope this is true. It would be like losing QB1 for UNLV and doing better without him. Hope this will be losing coach #1 and get an even better coach! The champagne bottle is ready to open!
What UNLV source would share that with him, even if true, to risk screwing it up, before it was finalized? That doesn't mean it isn't true.
He should work on spelling higher (unless his idea is drug induced),
