The headlines are incorrect

[khokhol8]

All of the headlines state "UNLV fires Kevin Krueger and begin search for a new head coach". If Eric Harper is approaching the basketball coaching position like he did with football he is probably way ahead of the game. He saw the writing on the wall with Odom long before he was poached by Purdue. He had already been communicating with Dan Mullen before Odom left. This won't be a situation like when Rice was fired and then there was no plan in place to replace him and it ended up being a crap show. I trust there is already a coach lined up and we just have to play the waiting game to find out who it is. Anyway, UNLV is not beginning a search for a coach as that process started a long time ago.

Agreed!

Harper knows what he is doing, he is not new!

How about Harper was already searching, and UNLV officially started a search after Kruger was fired?

This is what I’m agreeing with!
I’m betting on Harper being hard at work finding and identifying a new HC weeks ago!

Any decent AD has a short list of candidates in their desk drawer at all times.

If not a couple of months ago. Harper seems to see the big picture. Nothing like when Tina Kunzer-Murphy was in charge.

If not a year ago knowing he had bigger fish with football and was going to tackle basketball at the end of this season with the expectation that Kruger would fail!
