The UNLV Rebels are hiring Dan Mullen as their next head coach, replacing Barry Odom who left for the Purdue job over the weekend. Brett McMurphy was first with the news.
Mullen has spent the last three seasons working as a college football analyst and color commentator for ESPN following his firing from Florida with one game remaining in the 2021 season. Mullen went 34-15 in his nearly four seasons in Gainesville, and went 69-46 in nine seasons at Mississippi State beforehand.
