No I decided NOT to accept the offer for an extension. I need to increase my overall ratings and if I sign a longer contract and then leave before it's up my prestige takes a hit. I have two seasons left on my current extension and I want to play that out. Based on my goals I think I can accomplish everything I want to accomplish at UNLV within two seasons (eg. to get Sam Boyd Stadium into the top 15, 100% sell-outs, five conference titles, etc.).

It was really, really difficult passing on the and job offers. Both teams were really weak and would offer a fun challenge to rebuild those programmes. However, I worked harder than ever with recruiting and I want to see some of my new players in action. Plus with so many seniors graduating I wanted to see how this team would play without that depth. Another factor at play is that I really want to make the jump to the I have a keen eye on the rebuilds needed at and My dream job is at but they are a stacked team and in no need of a new upstart coach. is another job I would highly consider if it came available.

Another BCS conference I would consider as a great landing spot is the A programme such as that's down in the dumps could be a possibility. It all depends on what is available when my contract is up. I guess it also depends on the state of UNLV when my contract expires. Though it was never my original goal, it would be kind of cool to give UNLV a NC in my tenure there.

P.S. Thanks for reading Steeler!
