The Rebels' assistant coach turned interim head coach is leaving the school for a new head coaching opportunity at Southern Utah.
As the UNLV coaching search begins to intensify with the swirling rumors involving Cincinnati's Mick Cronin, one contestant for the job looks to have officially removed his name from the race. Pending an unforeseen breakdown in contract negotiations, Southern Utah is set to name UNLV interim coach Todd Simon as the next head coach of their program. The deal is expected to be finalized within the next few days and an official statement could be made by the end of the week.
