Wow. The guy is 13-38, has one winning season in four years, and gets this bump. UNLV seriously thinks they'll never find another coach who can accidentally have a winning season every four years or so?

Was I asleep during the major coaching searches, because I don't remember anyone coming after this guy on the heels of his 7-6 season.

Nuts.

That's high, but salaries are higher in the Mountain West. Petersen was making over $2 million; Christiansen at Wyoming was making over $1.2 million; Colorado State's Jim McElwain makes over $1.5 million if he hits his incentives. I don't know that this raise is so much a reward for Hauck for his season, as as it is a statement that they're willing to move up.

Glad for Bobby Hauck. He has turned the corner for UNLV football which has been in the dregs for longer than we were. He is much like Mac in that he has instilled a winning attitude and now better recruits will flock to Las Vegas - better than usual. You continue to go bowling and compete for an MWC title and all of a sudden you get the LV community behind you and your new stadium on the Strip. The dude's house was practically for sale in mid-September and then he ends up in a New Years Day bowl. I love persistence and passion and Bobby has both.

Way to go Rebs!

Ummm wasn't the AD trying to find ways to even get this team to Dallas because they could not afford it?

I never heard that they couldn't afford it. There was never any talk of them not making the trip because they didn't have the funds. But most schools don't like taking a loss when their team plays a game; and considering they sold almost no tickets, they were trying to minimize the loss.

That means we don't care about wins and losses, only doing athletics on the cheap and staying in budget.

Hence 2 whore games and only 1 OOC home games next year.

We are UNT, it's what we do.

Are you calling me a whore? I thought that's what your favorite thread was for.

I think the Nebraska AD has the right idea. He announced during the Pelini firing presser that they would not hire an outside source to help with the hire. I agree.

The thing is, if you need outside help, do you really know what is happening in your field? Your hire - with or without outside help - is always a 50/50 proposition: the guy will work out or he won't.

To me, save your money. Do some research - not difficult in the internet era. Call around. Make a gut decision.

The AD should know the tone and culture of his school without outside help.

      Would be disappointed if we have less than 5K for the UTSA game. The tailgate needs to be marketed to students and especially the Greeks as an excuse to get their letters out on the lawn. Give them signs that read NUTSACK for the game. No CFP or NFL playoffs. Come on people!!

      How much are all 13 Texas college football programs worth?

      Impressive amount of factual errors in one very short paragraph.

      I used to joke that you know you are a real Mean Green fan if the second (it may even be the first) thing you check in the box score is the attendance number. I look at attendance at our revenue sports as an important (not the only) metric used to measure the performance of our Athletic Director and the Athletic Department as a whole. It's public, it's not hidden or buried in an annual report. It's tangible. We can see it with our own eyes. Of course it would be helpful to know his goals and objectives and strategies and plans for achieving those goals, but that's a separate issue. We've been on a nice run and upward trajectory in basketball. We have been growing the brand. Ignoring the 7K and 8K outliers, our growth on the attendance front was evidence of this. We were getting 4K+ and 5K+, not every game, but enough to think we may have finally gotten over the hump. 3K+ for a home game regardless of opponent, day of week, weather on anything else was now the floor. Or at least it was. Until this season. If one of the AD's functions is to get butts in seats, he and his team have failed miserably in my opinion. And all while we are currently 11-0 at home! Just imagine how bad it would be if we had a losing record. Maybe as Rick suggests, all the hand-wringing around attendance and the reasons and excuses is pointless. However, as a proxy for AD performance I think it speaks volumes. The department has 5 home games remaining on the schedule. Let's see if they are engaged and actually do something to stimulate demand or not.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      But none of those remaining games are Q1 games, and only 3 of those games look like they will be Q2 away games.
