I can't imagine he survives after he loses to Liberty, but I don't even want to see him against Liberty.
Goodbye, Dimel
- Thread starter FeralFelidae
- Start date
The lone reason to have any optimism in our football program, that there will be a change next year.
Hopefully this puts the nail in the coffin.
No. Unless Darren Hunt goes. They need to ask…
A) breakdown stats
B) breakdown importance of injuries related to stat production
C) Hardison Int/TD ratios….Healthy Hardison vs McConnell
D) Injuries year by year vs production
Just catching up, you guys are saying we lost to MTSU?? Really, what the hell happened? I thought there was no way Dimel loses a winnable game. Wow, shocked to say the least.
24-7 Aggies. About to knock off Auburn on the road. But hey, we had to battle with injuries all year.
I'd much rather win TOP and not have field pissers on the team than actually winning games.
UTEP won TOP and used their second half timeouts inside the final two mins of the 4Q!!! What an improvement and great effort despite all the injuries and tough schedule extend the whole staff @GymCenter
We can make fun of their basketball program right now though!!! Even though we still lost to their worst team in forever last year too!!!
We more than likely won’t hear anything until after the Liberty game. Dimel does have a buyout date before Jan 1 that is significantly cheaper than his 2024 salary so we should be hearing something in December.
That said, if Wilson and Senter are not already reaching out to candidates they’re losing time.
I don’t trust it. That might not technically be a lady under all that decor.
They say the two best days in the life of a boat owner are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. Much the same with UTEP football fans. The two best days are the day we hire a coach and the day we fire him.
I seem to remember plenty of despair when Dimel was announced as the coach. Was anybody here excited?
Very good point. Still, that was as good as it got. It was at least viewed as better than more Kug. And he did have a good powerpoint.
“We made the game close…”?!
Krist ahhhhmiiightyyy!!!🫠

Hope the kid is okay. But that has nothing to do with Dimel.
Liberty F’n University, the pool boy flames are more about the culture than UTEP.
Jerry Kill rockin’ the hell out of some southwest ponchos like a badass is more about the culture than UTEP.
Los Mineros and 915 things would’ve been great had we not been half a decade behind the curve from utilizing those campaigns.
Where is the culture under Senter and Dimel? Do we still do the pick axe thing from the Price days or did that die out like the Amen chant?
Ya the game was so close that Liberty started putting in their backup players with like 9 mins left in the 4th quarter. The Liberty fumble on the 4 yard line was a gift.
UNM already fired Danny Gonzales who gave them their best season since 2016. When will UTEP do the same?
I've posted this before, but it bears repeating. UTEP's schedule ended up noticeably stronger than expected, ie. Jacksonville State, NMSU, even Northwestern. Plus, the Miners did have more than the usual number of injuries. We shouldn't lay that on Coach Dimel. But the fact remains that he never did himself any favors with his poor play calling, clock management, and his refusal to realize that Hardison never improved much between his first game and his last. We should thank him for improving the team a great deal from the train wreck that was Kugler's tenure. But now is the time to bring in someone who will improve on what Dimel did. Buy out the last year of his contract as a way of thanking him for his effort, then move on. UTEP can't fall further behind teams like JSU, NMSU and Liberty.
The team showed toughness against Liberty today, but Liberty showed what an obviously better team looks like. I hope Stewart as well as all the injured players have full and speedy recoveries. That being said, Go Miners.

Improving the team a great deal? Kugler was 18-36. Dimel was 20-47. Kugler had a better winning percentage.
What did Dimel do?
Thank Dimel for his effort?
That’s a good post.
My biggest problem in firing Dimel is what is the University going to do to help out the next coach. Dimel mentioned a need for NIL money.
Dimel wasn’t a train wreck. You cannot judge him by his overall record because of what he inherited. No one would have done anything with the team he had.
He will be remembered for a terrible record. But keep in perspective he took over the worst job in College football.
Whoever is announced as his successor will not be taking over the worst job in college football. So that’s something
Dimel was a train wreck. Kill inherited a mess and won a bowl game in his first year. Stop with the excuses.
