@mattyoumans247: Regents would prefer Karl at a lower price. Not a lock that Menzies' deal is passed. #UNLVmbb

That would phenomenal then we could be 3 weeks into the signing period before we could recruit.
george karl is way beyond his prime
Hall of fame coach that has never coached college BB and wanted 2 million a year
I thought it was the BOR's job to approve the contract, not the candidate?
Disagree. And his staff certainly wouldn't be. A guy like John Welch comes to mind.
Then, it doesn't really matter. Over the hill, under the hill, wherever you want Goerge Karl is a great basketball coach. Comparing his resume to Marvin Menzies and picking Mwnzies is just batspit crazy..
Karl is 64. That's not so bad. Phil Jackson won a championship at 64. Guys have coached at an older age than that.
I absolutely would turn down a hall of fame NBA coach to take one of the best recruiters in the country who has strong national and international connections and was mentored by Pitino, Kruger and Fisher and could start today, sometimes when the Sheeple follow each other over the cliff it isn't for substance its for the emotion, this is a very good hire by UNLV, give him UNLV resources and potential and Menzies will win big.
You do realize that coaches have to test and certify to recruit in the NCAA right, nobody said these guys weren't qualified however as you may or may not understand UNLV's roster contains 2 players and zero recruits, the spring signing period started Friday, so if we had to wait to get a deal done with Karl after he wanted to wait, get his assistants approved and the board of regents that would severely hamper the ,mere thought of saving the roster at all.Disagree. And his staff certainly wouldn't be. A guy like John Welch comes to mind.

I liked Rice, I also Liked Kruger, did you see Steve Fishers quote_ comment nobody has a bigger recruiting base then Marvin Menzies.I guess I admire your positive attitude, much better to be optimistic than wallow in misery like most UNLV fans have been the past few days. But it is a HUGE, huge reach to talk Menzies up like that, calling him "one of the best recruiters in the country" (okay...), etc. I guess if you can convince yourself that he'll magically become all-world here after a very mediocre career to this point, that is great. Again, I wish most of us could have that attitude.
The second part of your post cracks me up because I believe you were one of the sheeple following the common Rebel Net thought that Rice was without-a-doubt going to be an absolutely phenomenal coach, years after it was crystal-clear how incompetent he actually was. And then you go about talking about Menzies much in the same way those of you convinced yourself about Rice (UNLV resources, potential, etc will make him grrrrrreat!!!).
Also a reason Georg Karl was just fired so.... and his alma mater UNC has never hired him eitherPeople, there is a reason why Menzies is at New Mexico State. And its NOT because he's an amazing coach. Its NEW MEXICO STATE for heavens sakes! Wow
FYI Menzies never failed at the highest level either he's won at the level he's coached at, so that argument is just as valid as saying Karl could win in the college game.

I'm not sure where everyone has this belief that George Karl would be a slam dunk hire lots of speculation and first off Welch is on pace fort an NBA job he's not sitting on UNLV's bench as an a assistant, thats why this stuff is garbage most of it is extremely inaccurate trust me..
and his alma mater UNC has never hired him either
That would phenomenal then we could be 3 weeks into the signing period before we could recruit, get over it, Menzies is the coach now either support it or leave.
Marvin Menzies is hell of a coach and he can recruit nationally and internationally this will end up being a good hire, equal or better then Cronin or Beard, and an upgrade over Rice, now as to how we got here well thats a different story there is where we need changes but don't fool yourself this is a good hire.
Not picking Karl is dumb if true. But now that decision is made you cannot have another soap opera that would take a few weeks to sort out. At this late date even getting a mediocre roster together would be a miracle. Twisting in the wind a few more weeks makes even fielding a team this fall questionable.
Also then you are playing with Marvin's life saying the job is his and then yanking it from him.
Karl would have been great long term but going from nba to college in a few days with no great college recruiter with him would have made it real tough to get a team together for this fall.
Well we shall see Mjs? Well I find it very bizarre your so sold on Karl. Please explain why this is a slam dunk and no not just what you read on the internet.
Honestly don't get the Karl infatuation especially with a lot of the inaccurate info about Karl and assistants on Twitter.
There is also a reason Menzies has never been offered another job while at NMSU. I challenge you to give me the name of a successful coach that has never been fired.Also a reason Georg Karl was just fired so.... and his alma mater UNC has never hired him either

Huh? Ladies and gentlemen Ed Graney has graced the board with his presence. I never knew you went by Rebelx until now. Wow what a load of crap you're spewing.Hall of fame coach that has never coached college BB and wanted 2 million a year and would need to hire a full staff all of which except supposedly 1 would need to be certified to coach in the NCAA before they could recruit and this only started after the week waiting on the board of regents so yes 3 weeks later into the spring signing period with a roster in flux and ravished with APR looming. I absolutely would turn down a hall of fame NBA coach to take one of the best recruiters in the country who has strong national and international connections and was mentored by Pitino, Kruger and Fisher and could start today, sometimes when the Sheeple follow each other over the cliff it isn't for substance its for the emotion, this is a very good hire by UNLV, give him UNLV resources and potential and Menzies will win big.
Ya, that's nuts right? Lol.People are actually wondering why we would want a HOF coach?
That number is BS, Karl would come for a lot less, he really wants the UNLV job, always has apparently.and for 2 million pass especially when you saw the circa the regents put on for Beard
Ya, that's nuts right? Lol.

Menzies would just go back to NMSU.
