Yup (or should I say: Indeed?)--been talking a couple of days. Here's an announcement:

Arroyo To Be Named UNLV's New Football Coach

Quote:LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – Marcus Arroyo has been appointed the new head coach of UNLV’s football program, Director of Athletics Desiree Reed-Francois announced Wednesday morning.

Arroyo comes to UNLV just days after helping lead the University of Oregon to the Pac-12 Conference championship. The 39-year-old served as the Ducks’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the past three seasons and was tabbed assistant head coach entering the 2019 campaign.

Arroyo, a strong recruiter, was instrumental in bringing talent into the Ducks’ program as its last two recruiting classes have ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12 and among the nation’s elite. Oregon’s offense ranked 15th in the nation in scoring this season.

A native of Colfax, California, Arroyo was a three-year letter winner at San Jose State University where he played quarterback from 1998-2002, at the same time Reed-Francois served as the Spartans’ Director of Compliance.

Considered one of the rising stars on the college coaching scene, Arroyo brings experience as a coach for every offensive position except the offensive line. Prior to moving to Eugene, Arroyo coached at Oklahoma State University (running backs 2015-16), the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers (interim offensive coordinator 2014), the University of Southern Mississippi (offensive coordinator and outside receivers 2013), and at the University of California (passing-game coordinator 2011-12). He is no stranger to the Mountain West’s coaching landscape, having coached at the University of Wyoming (offensive coordinator and quarterbacks 2009-2010) and as the co-offensive coordinator for two seasons and quarterbacks coach for three campaigns at his alma mater, San Jose State (2006-08). He became a graduate assistant for the Spartans in 2005 after a stint as the offensive coordinator at Prairie View A&M University in 2004.
