    Been here in Las Vegas since 1989. First off, Coach Odom was here at UNLV for 2 years and not 1 year. All schools unless you're in a Top Conference are stepping stones and even then coaches are looking to move from lesser programs in the same/similar conference. Key examples would be Dan Mullen leaving Miss. State for Florida, Kalen DeBoer leaving Washington for Alabama, and James Franklin leaving Vanderbilt for Penn State.

    I’ve been going to UNLV games for 20 years, thankful for Odom did and it feels surreal being ranked after wondering if the football program would get scrapped not too long ago. However, a lot of this roster was built by Marcus Arroyo, let’s not forget that. and before him, Tony Sanchez was one of the biggest reasons for the facilities and entire football program getting revamped. It has been a steady climb. Sanchez and arroyo contributed to this amazing season. Odom was the right coach at the right time. That being said, sucks he’s leaving

    I think someone needs to look up the geographical definition of “Midwest.”
    And of course the Purdue HC job is viewed as a better job, given the prestige of the Big Ten (the Big Ten and SEC are quickly becoming the big leagues of college football). Even if Purdue is a rebuild, the revenue sharing and yearly salary alone make it a better HC job.

    For the entire season, especially the Boise state game at allegiant where over 40k fans attended it, it was a party in there. Way more popping than a raiders game. Problem is if the team isnt good then people wont waste a friday/saturday night to go. Also, parking is a pain and expensive, and beer is like 18 for a tall can so they got that working against them. Also, UNLV is a commuter school sot theres that too but the support is there if they are good.

    Have to keep in mind that IU flipped the narrative in one year, in the B1G. Purdue beat them last year ... and Illinois who was also a bowl team this year. Plus Purdue was in the B1G championship game just a few years ago, and had a solid record under Brohm. You can win there with the right coach, system, and support from the admin and NIL.
    Also have to keep in mind the revenue sharing piece of the component going forward. Purdue is poised to put 20+ mil in the pool once it's been approved since they're getting close to 100M off the B1G media deals. UNLV will have a small fraction of that.

  • @neilopfer5687

    Can't believe some of the negativity here in the Comments' Section about Coach Odom going to Purdue. A Coach can win at Purdue and has an easier road than at say a Northwestern (tough academic standards) or a Nebraska (tough to recruit to). Purdue Coach Joe Tiller (1997-2008) had winning seasons in 9 of his 12 seasons at Purdue with his high-octane spread offense. But the Big 10 has been traditionally been known as the Big 2 (Michigan, Ohio State) and the Little 8 (the rest). That was before Penn State, USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon were added. Yes, Purdue was 0-9 in the Big 10 this year but not that far behind Maryland (1-8), Northwestern (2-7), and the group of Wisconsin, UCLA, Michigan State, and Nebraska all at 3-6 in Conference. Of course, as a Purdue Grad (Calumet Campus NW), I remember when Fred Akers who'd went 86-31-2 at Texas over 10 seasons came to Purdue and proceeded to only win 12 games in 4 years. Not a UNLV grad but living and working in Las Vegas since 1989, I am very greatful for what Coach Odom did here in 2 short years.

    did he make a mistake? that depends on what you want from a coaching career. if it's winning then yes this is a mistake. if it's about making 💰 then it's a great move. with nil, realignment college football is turning into an NFL minor league wwe thing where all the top players go to the same school so they can play in a Lebron type situation where everyone gets together and everyone else just goes wherever they can get paid, coaches players they all jump around different schools. schools even jump around from conference to conference. this is all great btw and fans wont lose interest. like take UNLV fan, of course they will keep shelling out money and time to support a team that will lose its coach any time they have success
