Quote:Assistant coach Doug Stewart leaving Nevada for Tulane

Quote:"It was gut-wrenching," Stewart said of leaving Nevada. "Gut-wrenching for sure. This community has been fantastic to us. I loved working for Coach Muss. I loved our staff and awesome players. To watch their development over the course of the year has been as rewarding as anything I've experienced. To have it culminate with a championship for this school and this town, it's been an unbelievable ride. Tulane just came in with an offer that kind of blew me away."

Word is that Nevada is counter offering.

Sounds like a phenomenal hire. Nevada was like night and day this year to what they were last year..

Nevada's current Football coach accepted the OC job here and then they countered and he stayed.

Tulane university is serious about this, that is clear.

The new president and a.d. are a breath of fresh air.

Many complained went president Fitts came in he did absolutely nothing, but he was really just waiting for the former president to GTFO. Once that went down the money people on the board forced Dickson to leave sooner than expected. Dannen was hired and I don't know if the man even sleeps. Every single person in athletics was put on notice. Hopefully things turn around.

Not bothered. It's Texas. They're rich. We would never have held onto him.

Nevada have to dump out the piggy bank to hold onto him. Losing an assistant to a lowly AAC program (as of right now - this may change) isn't a very good indictment of where the MWC stands financially.

I appreciate the newfound aggression from our athletics department.
