Outsider do you really think that the new coach who was the Oregon OC is that dumb ?
Be real

Bob, I really don't understand your point.

UNLV's new head coach is Marcus Arroyo, who was Oregon's co-OC in 2017, and sole OC in 2018/19.  As such, he would have gone up against our defense the last three years, and is probably in a better position to judge the effectiveness of our defense generally, and our inside linebackers specifically, than your average fan.  He clearly liked what he saw from the opposite sideline (or the press box).

BC

That is one way to look at it. Another and just as likely reason is they met previously and/or have a common coaching relationship. Don't forget, Hansen has NFL experience, which any college coach wants on his staff for recruiting purposes. I don't think too many coaches with NFL experience are landing at places like UNLV.
