Welcome coach! Raise a glass to the next era of UNLV!
Welcome 14th coach of UNLV, Dan Mullen
- Thread starter RebelinWA
- Start date
they were already saying that when their QB entered the portal.
Did there QB leave Cal, or like many of the UNLV players who said they would play in the bowl game?
From what I read it sounds like he's leaving leaving.
This is so huge for UNLV. We’re the topic of discussion nationally along with Belichik to UNC. UNLV now being discussed as a serious football program. It just keeps gaining steam like a snowball rolling downhill.
Question is how much NIL money is out there? i dont think we will be in the 25 ,but TOP 40-50 i can live with. Talent evaluation is the key.
When they announce the details, I believe the crux of getting him here was the NiL amounts and not necessarily his overall compensation.
IF we can elevate our program and get into the BIG 10-12 or BETTER! LOL. We will be the UNLV of the Tark era. |
The NIL money will be pouring in and only going to get better with results. Schools can now share TV revenue for the players. So the key is to get into a better conference. Then we thrive and flourish. That is the only way we keep the momentum going. IMO. ALL eyes are on UNLV across the nation. Lets do this.

This is probably the best hire of the cycle. CDM could've gotten an SEC job again if he wanted. The fact that we were able to bring him out of broadcast job back into coaching and in the MWC is huge.
This right here! NIL is the most important factor in success these days. It far outweighs things like facilities and locker rooms. I don't necessarily like it but it's the way it is. I don't think Dan Mullen would come here unless he knew nil would be an advantage
Crazy thing is if his HYPE matches results or close to it it only gets better from here.
This CBS article makes it sound like the NIL pool will increase by quite a bit

more than doubling.This CBS article makes it sound like the NIL pool will increase by quite a bit

No doubt casino money is starting to come in to UNLV football, and that is an advantage no other college teams has
New friends came to the table during negotiations as Mullen's team had very specific requests and needed assurances.
Definitely. you dont sign a coach like Dan Mullen without new friends to bring the cash in a G5 spot. Thats the truth
We ****in.
Can’t wait for the call from the Big12.

Can we helicopter him into the press conference like DRF did with Arroyo and Otz?
Those didn't end well, a hard pass on anything that DRF did!
Like you've ever found it.

One thing I like about Mullen is that he's already had high profile jobs and made a lot of cash. So maybe the money is not the highest priority for him at this time. From what I can find, here's his salary by year.
2009 MSU $1.2M
2010 MSU $1.21M
2011 MSU $2.5M
2012 MSU $2.6M
2013 MSU $2.7M
2014 MSU $3.0M
2015 MSU $4.0M
2016 MSU $4.2M
2017 MSU $4.5M
2018 Florida $6.07M
2019 Florida $6.07M
2020 Florida $6.07M
2021 Florida $7.57M
Plus, when he was let go by Florida, he got a $12,000,000 buyout.
Point being that maybe he sees a big opportunity at UNLV and wants to be a part of it. He's made plenty of money, and will still make a good chunk at UNLV, but I'm sure he could have gotten more at other schools. So why choose UNLV? I think he sees the opportunity here. Odom made us a top 25 program in 2 years. The facilities are 1st class. The biggest thing against UNLV is the money disadvantage from being a newer school, and not being in a P4 conference. Hopefully he can help both of those things

Excited for this hire, for sure. I wonder how much we paying CDM tho? Im guessing in the 4 mil range
So, the deal isn't finalized. I guess that explains why the UNLV Athletic website hasn't reported this yet.
I guess Docusign is out of the picture lol.
They went from -4.5 to -1.5 in a matter of minutes after the QBs tweet.
Because losing a HC when all the coordinators will be interviewing for new jobs is a distraction on a college program
That makes sense but with all our players playing and they losing their QB I sure wouldn't make that bet.
It's not final till we get the "We got him" Gif...
