    He should just become an OC at Ohio State or Penn State.

    I’m surprised UNLV didn’t automatically pivot to Go-Go. The MWC isn’t exactly a defense heavy league. I actually believe lazy Dan would do okay there. The schedule next season is not loaded.

    His ego is too big to ever go back to an OC role.

    It would be fun to watch. My personal experience with Dan was highly positive and we had some good times with him at the helm, I wish him nothing but the best in Vegas.

    I guess he’s rested and ready to get back to work. I’m surprised he jumped to UNLV rather than take a premier OC job and market himself accordingly.

    That man is never going to be an OC again. It's far less control, and pays far less money.

    Good for him. I won’t be surprised if he upsets a few of the “power” teams if they’re on his schedule.

    His #1 goal now - Beat Boise State. A lot easier than beating Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Texas & Texas A&M.

    Belichick to NC, Mullen to UNLV. If I had their money, it would be me to Paris, London, Rio, Honolulu, Tahiti, you name it, when not just lying on the couch or having sex.

    Remember Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles, saying, "Work, work, work, work, work"? I don't get it.
