On the Road with the Rebels
Get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the UNLV Football team's week-long preparation for its most crucial game of the Mike Sanford-era, a date with San Diego State and the quest for bowl eligibility.
Losing 42-21 at San Diego State did nothing to help UNLV coach Mike Sanford and his team's dreams of bowl eligibility.
Apparently, on the flip side, it did nothing for Aztecs coach Chuck Long, either.
Long, who completed his third season at SDSU with a record of 9-27 - including a 3-0 mark against the Rebels - is reportedly out. A source close to the situation gave the scoop to ESPN.com's Joe Schad Sunday morning.
Public statements by athletic director Jeff Schemmel had pretty much assured Long of his position after this season, but the Aztecs lost 10 games this season for the first time in program history.
Long, a former Iowa and NFL quarterback, came to SDSU before the 2006 season after a four-year run as the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma.
