UNLV football coach Bobby Hauck will take home $700,000 annually under his new three-year contract approved Friday by the Board of Regents.

In the Jerry Maguire model of the agent-player dynamic that goes beyond a business relationship, Craig Schaeffer offers Frank Summers a place to stay when he’s in Sarasota, Fla.
UNLV welcomes at least four football recruits to campus this weekend, including two who already committed to the Rebels.
UNLV did more than give football coach Bobby Hauck a new three-year contract and raise.
UNLV will have to find replacements for quarterback Caleb Herring and running back Tim Cornett, but star wide receiver Devante Davis has decided to stay and play for the Rebels next fall.
This is how much quarterback Caleb Herring meant to UNLV. Now that his playing days are over for the Rebels, they’re not ready to let him go.
UNLV couldn’t have played much better defense in the first half, holding North Texas to seven points as the teams took a tie game into halftime. But North Texas moved the ball in the second half and kept UNLV’s defense on the field.
The first tear slid slowly down his right cheek, unhurried in its progress as if every speck of skin should absorb its purpose. The connection between losing and UNLV football was accepted for so long, unfeigned emotion following a defeat had over time become indiscernible.
North Texas didn’t make life easy on UNLV quarterback Caleb Herring, pressuring him throughout its 36-14 win over the Rebels in Wednesday’s Heart of Dallas Bowl.
North Texas took advantage of a tiring UNLV defense to score four touchdowns in the second half and win the Heart of Dallas Bowl 36-14 today before an announced crowd of 38,380 at Cotton Bowl Stadium.
North Texas head coach Dan McCarney is 60, and in a 14-month span in 2012 and 2013, he suffered a major stroke and underwent quadruple bypass surgery but returned to work five days after the latter procedure. That’s him. Tough as nails and a little wacko.
Having a winning season three times in 20 years doesn’t give you much to get excited about. But this season was exciting.
This is UNLV’s first game without a playoff-type feel, the first game that winning or losing won’t have greater effects on the season. Win or lose the Heart of Dallas Bowl, this will be considered a successful season. But the Rebels didn’t come here to lose.
Most coaches say they value special teams, but North Texas lives by that belief.
