LAS VEGAS, Nevada — New UNLV head coach Dan Mullen signed a five-year contract that pays him $3.5 million a year, according to his contract released by UNLV to LVSportsBiz.com Monday.
Mullen, a former Florida and Mississippi State head coach with more than 100 wins on his head coaching resume, replaces Barry Odom, who left UNLV after two years for a lucrative six-year, $39 million deal at Purdue of the Big Ten.
Mullen’s $3.5 million annual salary breaks down this way: $400,000 as a base salary and $3.1 million for media appearances. Take a look:
There are incentive payments, too, like $100,000 for winning the national championship and $50,000 for winning the Mountain West Conference championship.
There’s also an evaluation breakdown listed in the contract:
Odom, who led the Rebels to a 9-5 record in 2023 and a 10-3 record in 2024, was paid $1.75 million a year. UNLV could not compete with Purdue’s salary offer, which was nearly $40 million for six years.
