UNLV is in search of a new head coach as Marcus Arroyo was fired on Monday morning, and people are confused, happy, and angry at the move.

What better way than to scour social media to see how people are reacting to the news?

National media seems perplexed by this move as five wins is a heck of an improvement over zero wins in 2020 to two wins in 2021 to the near bowl game in 2022.

Local media are telling a different story and part of that could be to keep people engaged with hope by saying Arroyo wasn’t getting the job done.

Some also are just tongue check as this first tweet illustrates.

This screams “Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”

More high expectations from the media.

Then we have the fans who are piling on with some serious groupthink or thinking it’s that easy to go from a bowl game a decade to winning championships.

All signs point to UNLV making a quick decision about their next coaching move. It will be interesting to see who they go after and how soon success will be on the Vegas Strip, which is something this Rebel team rarely has seen on the football field
