Seemed like DeBoer there wasn't that far off...
I think UNLV hired the wrong Oregon coordinator, their offense was loaded and super meh. That defense on the other hand..
I think UNLV did about as well as they could on this one. It's a challenging job historically that hasn't had a huge budget for coaches. But it is a place where someone can win, particularly with the new training facilities and new stadium.
I wonder how big a salary break he's giving them for the first few years since BC is paying him?

Looks like CSU has become Urban Meyer's "placement for former coaches of mine agency".

He's never coaches West of Indiana. He's an offensive guy and BC usually had very good defenses. He could win in the Mountain West, but this seems like a settle hire to appease different parties.
Letting him steer the search to three coaches (out of five) he knows really well should be a red flag.
With that background at Temple and Boston College, this is going to allow CSU to tap into those fertile recruiting grounds in the northeast. Great hire.
With charisma like that, it's no wonder he nailed the interview at CSU.

He will absolutely fit in with the goobers and gomers in Fort Fun! What a “Cletus the slack jawed yokel”
I also think CSU has a real recruiting footprint issue. Bobo leaned heavily to the southeast with his Georgia roots. Adazzio has recruited almost exclusively in Mass, Rhode Island, NY, Jersey, and Maryland for his tenure at BC. Zero focus on the west in a long time, which seems like it will continue.
Also odd that they went with an offensive coach, when the problems were more on the defensive side of the ball.

From ramnation:
I'm so mad I could jerk off onto my own face right now
Now we know how they've spent the last five years after the showdown.

I have never seen UNLV to have the potential that you do. I grew up in Phoenix in the 70s and there were a lot of parallels. And still, ASU has suffered with attendance, despite having gazillions more alumni out there.
Challenges:
1. Other distractions and things to do in Sept-Nov. (A western US thing)
2. nobody is from there, most that live there, never have been on UNLV campus (another Western US thing)
3. The Raiders coming to town, is a giant problem not a help. Salt Lake and Boise don't have that to compete with. Either did UNLV. This is going to be a challenge for them, just as the Donks is the biggest reason for CU apathy. See talk-radio. Compare SLC talk radio to Denver.
They have built facilities, but honestly, not sure playing in the Raiders stadium is a help. It's going to be completely empty from day one. Echos galore.
Things on their side:
1. Lots of SoCal transplants in LV, including a decent amount of homegrown talent that is increasing with population.
2. Popular with Pacific Islanders. They love Las Vegas. Go to the Islands, and that's all they want to do is go on vacation in Vegas. Odd!
3. easy and cheap to get to from other recruiting hubs such as Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and a short drive from SoCal.
4. Girls. They need to establish UNLV as the G5 Stripper U. Take no backseat to ASU, this needs to be embraced!
If I was the AD, I'd have tried hard to hire a Poly coach and go all-in on targeting that community, both in Vegas, the West Coast and the islands. If that didn't work, the Hawaii coach would have been a bold move as well, with his connections. Make yourself "the destination" for Poly kids at the G5 level, in addition to always recruiting the best kids available in your footprint, and you're moving up.
