re: Joe Brady on Short List for UNLV Head Coach Job

This is actually pretty good info that Buckeye is bringing and is relevant. He is not spouting off subjective opinions left and right. He's mostly presenting to you the article written by a well-respected writer at a major publication. We all may not like the info itself, but he's just providing the source. Thanks for bringing the info, Buckeye.
Now, that said, I am in the camp that doubts Brady would seriously consider this one. The more concerning thing really is just that this is one step in that direction. Once one school publicly puts him on their list for a position of that level, it is that much easier for others to follow suit. No doubt he will get a big enough bite on the line before too long. I just hope we get him for as long as we can.

Exactly. If LSU's offense continues to be dominant in the next year or two without a Heisman level QB leading the way, Brady will be getting much better offers in the near future from mid to high level P5 programs. Being patient will pay off for him, literally. Happy for Brady, he has earned every dollar he gets.

He isn't going there and isn't going to be offered a bigger job. LSU will double that 900k number and UNLV is not a place to go if you have bigger aspirations.
Now Brady will be here prolly less than 5 years if Brennan is turned into a stud.

I love Brady, but this is ridiculous. Any AD that would even consider him for a head coaching job should be fired immediately.
He's never:
Managed people
Hired people
Fired people
Been a primary play caller
He's done the following for less than one year:
Recruited
Coached at the college level (excluding GA gigs)
Been a coordinator of any type
He could eventually be the best head coach in the country if he doesn't pull a Mike Archer and jump too quick.

This is the passing scheme that nearly every college in the nation wants. And a school can team him up with an older experienced HC (at a coordinator position) - like Ohio State did with Ryan Day and Kevin Wilson.
The old hand can handle the administrative crap that would overwhelm a green HC.

I can’t imagine he’d be interested. That sounds like a place to go to kill your career before it even starts. It’d be much more advantageous to be LSU’s offensive coordinator and keep building your hype.
In the long run I can’t see LSU keeping Joe Brady forever outside of him becoming the head coach. He’s going to get a head coaching job somewhere. But it won’t be UNLV.
If LSU gives Joe Brady an Aranda contract he’ll make WAY more than he’d make as UNLV’s head coach anyways.

That's just wrong on all counts. Coordinators manage people and are normally involved in the hiring and firing of the personnel on their side of the ball.
And hiring coordinators or assistants as head coaches is a crap shoot, even when dealing with veterans.
Orgeron would tell you he was not prepared to be a head coach during his first opportunity.

UNLV has had 1 winning season in the past 15 years (7-6). If Brady could eke out a couple bowl eligible seasons in the next 3 years, he'd be a rock star in Vegas.

Was just coming to post this. I dont think him being on their "short list" is not too far fetched

This season is Brady's first regular job. He's never been a coordinator or even a dedicated position coach. There's a lot to head coaching in a college football program in addition to being able to scheme offenses. This would be a very risky move for everyone involved.

Oh hey assholes. Cash me on da recruiting board.

Your link doesn't have anything indicating Brady is on any kind of "short list". At best, it contains articles from OPINION pieces from the writer discussing candidates UNLV "COULD" have or "MIGHT" have interests. The latest article is discussing the Oregon OC and Utah DC. The ONLY article by this writer discussing Brady is one where he list "possible" candidates. Nowhere does he say Brady is an actual candidate, or provide any information whatsoever to substantiate such claim.
So either you are (1) basing your topic on the always reliable "inside information" that no one else appears to have, (2) your reading comprehension skills are terrible (3) you are intentionally misrepresenting the context of the article, or (4) all of the above.
But, since we are discussing the journalist Mark Anderson, let's look at something he actually did write about the search:
LSU would EASILY be wiling to double $900k
So basically you just wasted everyone's time with unsubstantiated bullshite

That’s just stupid. Brady has one year as a passing game coordinator and while it has been a spectacular season so far, there is no way to determine if it’s what he is doing that makes it so great or if it’s Joe Burrow that just fits the system so well that it makes it so great. There is no way a power 5 school should offer him a head coaching position based on one year of data alone.

1) Five names is a "short" list. Do the math.
2) Mark Anderson is THE most connected beat writer associated with UNLV athletics. Are you dumb enough to suggest that he had developed no background before publishing his list in Nevada's largest newspaper?
3) It is not unlikely that someone close to the AD gave Anderson this list to "run up the flagpole" to see who salutes.
4) Brady has been central to the biggest passing game turnaround in recent memory. Every football program in the nation knows this.
5) You'd have to be an idiot to think that some program won't roll the dice with him at HC (if that is what it takes to land Brady). The recruits he'll bring in alone will be enough to justify the gamble - win lose or draw.

However, Brady can call his own shots as HC... no second-guessing from stone-age well meaning conservative higher-ups.
And it would put Brady in the HC fraternity - not the easiest club to get into. 900K would be a pleasant starting point. A decent agent should have Brady at many times that number within 4 or 5 years... at Vegas or elsewhere.

No way. There is a lot more to being a head coach than actually coaching. Obviously that's a big part of it, but it truly requires a CEO who can manage the entire organization.
Arkansas and Ole Miss desperately need an 'Almost can't miss' coach. JB is only 30 years old and nobody has any idea if he can do anything more than coach an offense (and it takes more than simply hiring people to do everything else). Again, hiring properly is essential, but nobody has any idea if JB knows how to hire properly. He's never had to.
Whether he should get a look may be debatable, but I don't think there is any way a P5 program hires him as a HC for several years.
