I’ll take it too. And I can promise results in the same ball park as what we’ve had.I'd show up for 2 years making $750k/season. When do I start?

And to think it only took us 4 decades and how many coaches later to finally catch lighting in a bottle. I hope they take advantage of it and get us into a conference like Utah did when they got their needle in a haystack of a coach.Our coach sucks. It took “Slow Growth” Odom a whopping 17 games to bring us from one of the historically worst programs and a perennial bottom 10 program to the top 25.
It should have taken 9 or 10 games if he was a real coach.
If you make the right hire for a program, more times than not you get the feeling right away, not a few years later. If you ain’t feeling it within the first couple of seasons - meaning ACTUAL growth, not “well, the losses were closer” or “we hit free throws better” - it ain’t going to happen.
Just get the job done, take full responsibility of the program, don’t blame facilities or the fans or a lack of time … excuses, excuses, excuses … slow growth is a loser mindset.
Aiming high and falling short usually yields better results than aiming low and hitting the target.
Good hires matter.
I think we all agree that either Kruger gets to the NCAA this year or he needs to be gone. Considering how quickly the AD removed Arroyo for a 5-7 record, I expect that with the conference situation, Kruger has a very short leash.Good hires matter.
Bad hires slow kill.
Successive bad hires disappear you.
Maybe we are lucky we lost tight ones to SDSU and a couple of other teams in Arroyos last year. Had we got a bowl bid at 6-6? No firing, no Odom … when losing is a good thing.I think we all agree that either Kruger gets to the NCAA this year or he needs to be gone.

The difference between the good coaches and the rest are they good ones find a way to win the games that teams normally lose. No doubt that Vanderbilt, CSU, Air Force and the Kansas game are all games that UNLV would have lost under any of the past UNLV coaches.Maybe we are lucky we lost tight ones to SDSU and a couple of other teams in Arroyos last year.

I agree. I’m just saying, one lucky UNLV “break” during that 5 game skid, we don’t have Odom.I think we all agree that either Kruger gets to the NCAA this year or he needs to be gone.

You mean the first time in football we have been lucky in decades? Now the luck seems to be snowballing for UNLV football! Doesn't hurt to have the MWC defensive player of the week, special team player of the week, and freshman of the week. Now they need to work on adding offensive player of the week so they get all four in the same week!I agree. I’m just saying, one lucky UNLV “break” during that 5 game skid, we don’t have Odom.
Yeah, we gotta work on the passing game just a little bit.You mean the first time in football we have been lucky in decades? Now the luck seems to be snowballing for UNLV football!

So essentially we can keep thanking Desiree for the extremely mediocre place basketball and baseball are in? Such a waste of time.If the money situation was better I think they would.
I know most (as in 99.5%) of the people on these boards are UNLV fans and basketball is/was the reason.
If money was better I truly believe Harper would have moved on from Kevin after this season.
I think whatever money there is, is being directed towards football (as it should have been 15 years ago but that's a different discussion).
Harper is going to let Kevin coach himself out of a job or into an extension this year.
Rebs just don't have the money to pay a guy not to coach.
But, people forgot. Desiree hired Lindy LaRocque. The only, hire she got right.So essentially we can keep thanking Desiree for the extremely mediocre place basketball and baseball are in? Such a waste of time.

There was a 16 from AZ also
Kinda tough to read. Best rating was 19 from Reno. I saw that the Boise writer did not rank us, lol.
More 20's than I expected.
AP has a one loss Boise team ahead of us which is a joke.

Yeah but we have two good wins and being undefeated should trump their one good loss and zero good wins.I don't love it. I guess it depends on where you started kinda as well.
Boise gave Oregon all they could handle.
Grant Oregon looked shaky 1st two weeks but absolutely rolled OSU.
So Oregon loss didn't drop them much.

Arizona has UNLV at 16th.

Yeah I saw someone else point that out. 16th is way too high, but I like it!Arizona has UNLV at 16th.
You mean like in Hauck's 2nd to last season? They wanted him gone. He wanted out. He makes a bowl game. I guess we have to bring him back for another season.Maybe we are lucky we lost tight ones to SDSU and a couple of other teams in Arroyos last year. Had we got a bowl bid at 6-6? No firing, no Odom … when losing is a good thing.
