Headed to Purdue. UNLV grabbing Mullen is a great move. He's a better HC than Odom and probably thrives at a school like that with the way NIL is changing the landscape. Get Mullen a DT QB with a couple skill players and they're going to continue to be a pain in the arse in the Mountain West

Mullen has a few screws loose. When he was at Florida that dude needed mental meds. Maybe he is better now days.

I’m surprised Mullen took the job. He could have done a bigger school tho he loses one game at UNLV, he’s in the playoffs. Probably with a bye.

Good to know we retained Pittman when we could have had Mullen. I hate our administration. We are not a serious program.

Even so, the best roster UNLV can muster will get smashed in the playoffs eventually, even with a bye. Maybe he's thinking he can parlay success to a better gig? He's already flamed out in the SEC. Maybe he wants a shot at a Big 10 contender or Notre Dame?

We are apparently completely giving up on football.

Crazy right. And Mullens is probably gonna make less than half of what Sam makes. He said before he wanted to be a HC again, that’s why I found it odd the Sooners tried to interview him as OC.

I don't know why he would settle for UNLV. Thats a hell of a get for them if this works out. He's one of the best X and O's coaches out there. Maybe not a great head coach, but his play calling more than makes up for it at a school like UNLV.

My concern is that he was literally losing his mind in 2020 from COVID, BLM, NIL, and all the changes that hit the sport. I think he is more than slightly autistic and he couldn't deal with change. He wanted out to the NFL, he mentally NEEDED out. I just don't see any signs that the rate of change in the college game is slowing down. The potential for him to have another meltdown is there, but I guess it is worth the risk for a school like UNLV.

Are you kidding me? If he can get UNLV relevant there will be plenty of high rollers around town to funnel money into the program. 9 wins a year and he can coach there for 20 years making bank. He can get a QB in the portal with his history of coaching QB's like Tebow, Prescott, and Trask.
