coach of the UNLV football team next season.
School president Neal Smatresk and interim athletic director Jerry Koloskie
announced Sunday night that Sanford's contract will be terminated on December
5, a week after the end of the season, his fifth as UNLV head football coach.
The 54-year-old Sanford has compiled a 15-43 overall record at UNLV. The
Rebels are 4-7 this season, including a 2-5 mark in the Mountain West
Conference. They are coming off a 45-17 road loss against Air Force on
Saturday and will have their final game November 28 at home against San Diego
State.
"We appreciate the service, commitment and dedication that Mike Sanford and
his staff provided to UNLV over the last five years," Koloskie said. "Our
efforts remain focused on building the Rebels into a winning football
program."
With one game remaining, Sanford has compiled a record of 7-32 in MWC play.
In December 2004, UNLV hired Sanford as the school's ninth head coach, taking
over for the legendary John Robinson.
