A BRIEF HISTORY OF UNLV FOOTBALL IN THE DESERT
UNLV Football began on September 14th, 1968. Bill Ireland would be the program’s first head coach. The Rebels played the first game of their inaugural season against the St. Mary’s Gaels at Cashman Field. The Rebels defeated the Gaels 27–20 in front of 8,000 fans. In 1999, the Rebels left the WAC with seven other schools to form the Mountain West Conference, but also by announcing that the program had hired legendary collegiate and professional coach John Robinson as their eighth head coach.
Fast forward to today. The former Head Coach for the Missouri Tigers, Barry Odom, is now the head coach of the Rebels, and great expectations arrived with him. Coach Odom and his staff have already delivered a great recruiting class and a total change of scheme on both sides of the ball that Rebel fans are sure to enjoy. With resources like the Fertitta Football Center and Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas can expect a new era of UNLV football…
An era of winning.
The Franchise is ready to cover them for you.
