UNLV will be sharing the Raiders new stadium in Vegas and the university administration is looking to upgrade the football program with a vision of becoming a Boise State south (or more), so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to posit that their pool of funds for coaches may have been bumped up.
Considering the cost of living Palo Alto vs Vegas leads me to doubt that this is a financial retreat from Moscow type move for Hansen and his family (2 young kids). Plus, his new title, and the prospect of demonstrating competence in that role with a growing program, in a great media market (bar is not particularly high @ UNLV right now) would appear awfully compelling to even a Palo Alto native who played for his father @ Paly.
