twitterLetter to the editor:
Firing UNLV coach won’t change things
Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009 | 2:01 a.m.
In response to Wilson J. Matos’ Monday letter to the editor, headlined “Football coach has worn out his welcome”:
Firing the football coach at UNLV won’t fix the problem. Whoever the new guy is, the program will remain the same.
There is, in my opinion, a fix to the problem. UNLV should resign from the Mountain West Conference in football only (Notre Dame is in the Big East for all sports except football) and become an independent.
Then UNLV could schedule teams to match its talent and have a winning season. There are lots of teams the caliber of Sacramento State that would be willing to play UNLV on a home-and-home basis.

Playing teams like Sacramento State is hardly big time football and that is what UNLV aspires to do.
No No let's play power house teams like UC Davis, Cal St. Irvine, Phoenix University that will strike fear into those programs
How many years has UNLV football tried to be "Big Time?" Obviously it has been an abysmal failure. Until the university and athletic department make a true effort to build a program, nothing will happen. They need to pull out of the MWC, and get into a smaller conference. There are plenty of "smaller Big Time" programs such as georiga Southern, Delaware, and Youngstown State, which outdraw, outplay and outclass UNLV at every turn. Until people actually want to come to UNLV and believe they will get a competitive education, we are stuck with who's left.
