Five legitimate options UNLV should consider for its head coach

It’s a tradition unlike any other for UNLV fans, as the program begins another coaching search with T.J. Otzelberger appeared to be on his way to Iowa State.

Currently not a head coach and working with the Big Ten Network, Miles has experience coaching in the Mountain West at Colorado State.
