He's just not attainable. Texas tried but couldn't money-whip him
The Paint Hasn't Dried Coaching Speculation Thread.

- Start date
Just came across this article. Mostly speculation, but some names not included above.
Possible HC candidates
Possible HC candidates
Mentioned Grinch earlier. Coached at Wyoming I believe, so he knows the conference.
Good list/reasons.
Many of the players at UNLV are already transfers as of late, are they allowed a second transfer based on the coach being fired?
If we don't make a head turning move that would be about as bad as when we hired .....
Unless we had a player dominate like Windom last year, these guys aren't getting paoched, per se. I think that our PK and the LB are the only two good enough for P5 teams, and neither have any more eligibility.
@Bullmastiff 1 If you gripe about kickers I'll insta-ban you. I set the algorithm on RN to immediately act on kicker's and long snapper's behalf.
From that article Ed Orgeron is an interesting name. He can recruit as well as anyone, players run through brick walls for him, spent a lot of time at SC so knows SoCal well, and is tight with JRob. He had JRob on his staff at LSU as a special assistant. He has some baggage from LSU so P5 schools I don’t think are beating down his door.
Not that I makes a difference, but I would never support that considering how he treats players. We don't need it.
How many of those potential candidates have been head coaches?
I’m hoping we don’t go the FCS route again but the job Taylor has done at Sac State has been really impressive. I think he’ll be a good coach but I don’t know if UNLV is the right spot.
I saw McCardell’s name mentioned on Twitter. Seems like a little bit of stretch as HC for me.
I’m not sure about Frost. UCF Frost and Nebraska Frost looked liked 2 different coaches.
Is Patterson in play for UNLV? Herman and Harsin are great too but Patterson is my pick. Lane Kiffin my favourite but Coach Patterson is cool with me. If UNLV can land Deon Sander, world would change....
You can see Lane Kiffin and Deon Sanders can bring energy to this program. Matt Prattrica from NE would be awesome. Academics and football.
I’m gonna ban you if you don’t spill the beans.
Cookie monster (Ed orgeron) would be another amazing candidate.
Guessing at least one is Klanderman. The other is most likely Grinch or Riley imo.
Should have mentioned Herman in my original post as someone I could see as a realistic hire. Having called a few games on tv, he would have spent a bit of time preparing for the broadcast being around the program and would now be fairly familiar with the league
Im told the money would be there if Neon wanted to come here.
Just posting my original post from the confidential board..
I think Deion knows he’ll be up for big time jobs soon, whether it’s alma mater FSU or an SEC job, he will get offers.. Being reported that Colorado offered, I think UNLV is more enticing.. Looks like he likes projects/turning cultures around.. I’d rather come to Vegas than CU, he’s a perfect fit for Vegas to bring all that energy here.. Even if it’s for 2 years, I don’t care, you know he’ll leave sooner than later.. But he would change the whole program around immediately & have Vegas jumping, I’ll take it.. I honestly don’t know how serious the reports are, but if Harper were to pull that off, would be monumental..
Sanders, Patterson, Herman, Petrino, Orgeron and for giggles the guy that built USF a years back Jim Leavitt.
Wasn’t sure on that.. People keep saying his name & I was shocked, he’s got bigger suitors.. But, not his dream job calling yet.. If the Rebs need to be a pit stop to get to FSU or somewhere else, I’m sure we are all for that.. I’m sure Vegas would intrigue him a little bit tho.. We’ll see tho, not expecting anything by any means, but if that tweet is true, very interesting..
Erick is doing his due diligence, and Deion is part of that.
BTW, no inside info.. Just sharing my thoughts, no special info, not sure if that breaks rules.. Threads on both boards, wanted to get feedback..
How soon??? i will have TV ( my computer monitor) tan at this rate?
I have a feeling Harper is moving quickly. I expect it in a week or sooner. Have to get the guys here hyped, recruit via transfer or high school , talk to our 3 recruits to see if they are on board.
I hope so, with regards to the quick timeframe. Don't want to get UNLV'ed (think Munsoned from Kingpin) on this one. Strung out then left behind
Patterson is on staff at Texas I believe. I am good with Herman as he's was on Cofield a few weeks back when he did TV Commentating and met with Arroyo and took a tour of the Fertitta Center. Herman said UNLV is set up better than when he was the coach at Houston.
You're correct on Patterson. He was in studio last season then right?
I could really get behind a Herman hire.
Would be pretty ironic if he met with Arroyo then ended up replacing him
His buyout is 75% of his pay over 2 years if he doesn't take another coaching job. When he accepts the job he will end his UNLV buyout.
I’d sit on my ass for two years and watch football and drink beer.
