It's one thing if someone like Herman said no because he thinks UAB is beneath him, but I hope we didn't lose someone of that caliber over money. I was told Mullen only wants P5 jobs.

"Having the opportunity to lead such a quality program like UAB is one that I am beyond excited about," Dilfer said.

I would like to thank President Ray Watts, Director of Athletics Mark Ingram and the entire search committee for their commitment to excellence and for trusting in me as we venture into this new era of UAB Football together."
