great hire, i would've been much happier with that back in 2022.
I like Mullen as a coach. I just don't know that he would have been anymore successful than Rhule over the long haul. His Florida teams regressed each year, Mississippi St teams were mostly average and he was below .500 in the league and he only had 1 winning conference season. The SEC west was tough but his teams played a not so good Kentucky team every year in crossover and in at least 5 of his seasons there he played the 2 worst SEC east teams in crossover games or his record would have been further below .500.
That being written, I think he does well at UNLV

Rhule
career winning %: 0.508
bowl game winning %: 0.333
Mullen
career winning %: 0.628
bowl game winning %: 0.700
Yeah it's really a tossup
comparing their records at different schools is pointless. Mullen is a fine coach, but his Florida team went from 10-3 in year 1 to 5-6 in year 4 and he was fired. His Miss St teams were below .500 in the league and were quite frankly inconsistent fluctuating from 5 wins to 10 ten wins and back to 6 wins. With those results in Lincoln he could have been fired as Pelini was, but Pelini had a better record and more consistency.
no it's not, its just inconvenient for you.
Rhule had an overall losing record against Big 12 opponents. He currently has an overall losing record against B1G opponents.
Take Rhule's best stretch as a head coach from 2015-2019 and it's still worse than Mullen's stop at either Miss St or Florida.
Yeah I highly doubt Pelini could HC his way to 3 straight SEC Championships.
He produced 3 top 15 teams at Florida. He at one point had Miss St. ranked as the #1 team in the country. When has Rhule ever come close to producing these results?
While I think it is a good hire, the mood amongst many in Vegas was to elevate Brennan Marion so that the Go-Go would continue in Vegas. Looks like this news has him leaving.
"Brennan Marion opted not to immediately join Odom at Purdue in the interest of making his case for the UNLV head coaching job. He also had committed to coaching the Rebels in the LA Bowl against Cal on Wednesday, sources confirmed. A source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday morning Marion had not been informed that he didn’t get the UNLV job and was disappointed he had not received an update. Marion’s goal is to become a head coach, and he will now pursue external options, the source said. It’s now unclear if he will coach in the LA Bowl."
