Sanford on his way out as UNLV coach

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Mike Sanford will not be back as the head 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.

While the standings remained the same, the space between the top two teams shrank. This week, the Gators (11-0) garnered a .9664 average while Alabama (11-0) is second at .9614. Last week, Florida had a .9833 average and the Crimson Tide ranked second with a .9521 average, with that number being computed by averaging the percentage totals of the Harris Interactive poll, USA Today poll and computer rankings.

Florida and Alabama both won big this weekend and have one final hurdle remaining until the SEC Championship Game on December 5, which figures to serve as a de facto national semifinal if both stay undefeated until that date. The Gators host Florida State on Saturday, while the Crimson Tide visit Auburn for their annual Iron Bowl matchup. ... Continue
