Jim Mora is the plain, in the variety pack of instant oatmeal.
You get past your maple and cinnamon and fruit and all that's left is plain.
You're happy you still had some oatmeal left. Just not excited about it.
Realistic candidates...

Ha- maybe that's true, but when you've been eating $hit sandwiches for the last 2 decades at UNLV some plain instant oatmeal seems like a Thanksgiving meal.
Yep that was the year. Though I think the decline was more the NFL figuring out how to defend Vick than coaching as they didn't have a ton of talent. I don't remember a single player outside of Roddy White from that era. Also won't hold Seattle against him as they sucked when he took over. UCLA is another school with unrealistic expectations. I believe they made a bowl game and were ranked in the top 25 all but one year? Arguably the best results there since Donahue (though the guy after him whose name I can't recall did pretty well a few years). I don't think Mora is taking us to the top 25 but I can envision a few bowl games and more success than we have had in a long time.
Probably a fair comparison as long as you add that about 25% of the strawberry and maple flavored packets in the box turn out delicious while 75% of them contain strychnine as an added ingredient.
Wow, Jim Mora is way more qualified than some of the total shots in the dark like a FCS coach and the coordinators. Not getting why your so negative on him. That his track record was not perfect? Plenty of coaches have way worse track records than him.
Houston Nutt left Boise after one season, and it was 4-7. How he parlayed that into the Arkansas job, I'll never know. He blew out in the middle of the night without even saying goodbye to the team. Not interested in UNLV hiring a guy like this.

Here's another list by some Youtuber who appears to have a big following:
The most interesting thing I learned from this was that Norv Turner sent his son to play for John Robinson at UNLV.

He's been out of the game too long. I don't mind a guy that's taken a year or two off but he hasn't been coaching or recruiting kids in over 8 years. He needs to stay in the booth at this point and keep that cbs sports job. Best case he turns out to be another Bob Davie.
He'd be fun at press conferences.
That's about it...
Oh..
And the inevitable 'Nutt' jokes.
I know too many ball players that payed for Jim Mora take away his last name and he is not even considered. If they hire Mora it's just recycling old trash.
No Jim Mora please
No Jim Mora please
LMAO @ Shane Beamer. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt anybody to dream big
I like him for name value and for his football resume.
I dislike him very much for his personality.
If UNLV being bad is absolutely inevitable, "Nutt" Jokes can definitely help add something to the depressing cycle of suck that is UNLV football.
And yes, I did just put suck and Nutt in the same sentence.
I'm already feeling better.
With early signing and junior college signing dec 18, doesn't this make UNLV to have new coach announced next week? And coach would have to have at least a few guys ready to be on staff and recruit immediately. So does not that wipe out anyone from any team that still has a chance for football playoffs as they would not be able to leave their teams till dec 8 when championship games
Done and playoffs announced?

I think you're right in the recruiting aspect.
IMO, DRF already had her lineup of prospects months before Sanchez was fired. Most likely at the end of last year. I think getting a coach early enough to impact recruiting will be important to her but not enough to change the list or it's order.
If the coach isn't coaching currently I think we'll hear as soon as the fine points of a contract can be negotiated. Maybe the end of next week. I think the same holds true for assistants or coordinators. A head coach will let that person go to take a head coaching job. But if she wants an up and coming FCS head coach who is in the FCS playoffs then she may have to wait quite a while (second week of Jan). Same holds true for a bowl bound head coach.
Weber State plays their first game on Dec. 7. If they keep winning it goes for another 5 weeks.
If it’s not Dec 2, I’m taking the over.
I may even want to tease to Dec 16 if it’s not the 2nd.
Someone said Weber State coach may not be available for weeks depending how far they go in fcs playoffs. It would depend on how he wanted to go out, but North Dakota State coach last year left in December for Kansas State even though North Dakota State played till early January
It's being reported that Schiano has reached a deal with Rutgers. Reportedly both sides were always in agreement on $4M/year, but were haggling on 6 or 8 years and some other details like facilities progress:
- An 8-year contract worth $4 million per year, with $400,000 retention bonuses after Years 4 and 6.
- A buyout starting at $25.2 million.
- The freedom to walk without penalty if the school did not improve its football facilities by 2023.
- Unlimited private jet use.
- A staff salary pool starting at $7.7 million, increasing by at least 3 percent per year.
- Other standard bonuses and perks common to coaching contracts at the Power 5 level.

Larry Johnson Associate head coach/defensive line coach $900,000
Tony Alford Running backs coach/assistant head coach for offense $600,000

Al Washington Linebackers coach $500,000
Matt Barnes Special teams coordinator/assistant secondary coach $350,000
Brian Hartline Wide receivers coach $345,000
It shows you we, and all but a tiny handful of schools, are eons away.
Level playing field? The imbalance has never been greater.
But it’s put up or shut up. UNLV has never made a real effort.
Chris Peterson is stepping down from Washington... any info on why? Would love to see DRF go after him
looks like he will still work within UW in its athletic dept
Joe Arrigo is smoking bleach out of a bong if he thinks Shane Beamer would take the job here lol. Does this guy follow college football at all?
I agree with you. The Mickey Mouse administration we have at UNLV will screw it up
