What else is going to say? Even if he stays at UTEP his whole career, he started here.Anybody catch “This is a great place to ‘START’ my FBS career…”
Which is OK, bc of the obvious if he’s taken away then we did good with the hire.
All I’m asking for is a buyout clause.
I don’t mind UTEP being a stepping stone for coaches, so long as we attract young and hungry prospects.What else is going to say? Even if he stays at UTEP his whole career, he started here.
I saw Walden signed an extension at the beginning of this year. I wonder how much UTEP paid to buy him out.Anybody catch “This is a great place to ‘START’ my FBS career…”

Good, Dimel thought his ass was safe! He played boring ball, and was stubborn!I loved how Senter took direct pot shots at Dimel lol 😅 " We don't wanna just posses the ball we wanna score more points then the other team" I can at least respect that Senter is obviously fighting for his job with this hire. He apparently recognized that a Big Change was needed. Dimel's name wasn't even mentioned. Sometimes the previous coach is thanked, but Hell no, it's time for the Walden Era!!! I like this guy!!!
His base was under 300k... I think the donors already like him....I saw Walden signed an extension at the beginning of this year. I wonder how much UTEP paid to buy him out.
Yep.I don’t mind UTEP being a stepping stone for coaches, so long as we attract young and hungry prospects.
We got it right. Marion lacks leadership experience. Has never been the CEO of a program. He may one day be a fine HC but UTEP couldn’t afford to strike out 3 times in a row with this hire.As much as I wanted Marion, I think UTEP got it right. My goodness, he sure says all the right things. He might just be the guy, to get things excited, to a Mike Price level... Go Miners! Spirit, renewed! haha
Same, just win and take us bowling. I’m getting tired of same 💩 every yearI don’t mind UTEP being a stepping stone for coaches, so long as we attract young and hungry prospects.
Mike Price said something about staying here as long as we wanted him.What else is going to say? Even if he stays at UTEP his whole career, he started here.
Yes, Senter has a clear 2 factor hiring criteria. Like you mentioned, it doesn't matter, just win. That starts with recruiting. I like that Walden already has visits lined up for this weekend. The emphasis on team speed is also refreshing, and can work at this level.I thought Walden said all the right things in the press conference, he even got me excited for what the future may hold. This is a complete 180 from the Dimel hire, young, energetic, wants to hike the ball every 12 seconds. Buckle up, this next season I’ll give the coach a pass but it seems like this could be spectacular or it could be disastrous if he goes 3 and out consistently. I also liked that he talked about actively fundraising for the program. I know coaches have a lot on their plate but this guy seems super proactive.
Someone on a previously thread called it though: Senter was gonna hire a Christian. Good call. I don’t think any of us care as long as he wins.
I think most Americans still call themselves Christian, so it's not all that surprising.Someone on a previously thread called it though: Senter was gonna hire a Christian. Good call. I don’t think any of us care as long as he wins.
So did BCG 😉Mike Price said something about staying here as long as we wanted him.
Golding had a good introductory conference too.As much as I wanted Marion, I think UTEP got it right. My goodness, he sure says all the right things. He might just be the guy, to get things excited, to a Mike Price level... Go Miners! Spirit, renewed! haha
Do we think anyone on the current roster can run his type of offense or it'll be better to bring in a transfer?This is still way too early in the process to prognosticate, but you can see where this is a young man’s game. This guys coming in with boundless energy, and it’s infectious. It seems like he has an almost insane self belief and I think you need that taking over at UTEP. If he believes what he says maybe he can tune out 60 years of mediocrity and turn this program around. But we have to see who leaves and who comes in. And he needs a QB.
Walden needs to Coach Prime the roster and clean house, along with the coaching staff.Do we think anyone on the current roster can run his type of offense or it'll be better to bring in a transfer?
A fast paced offense starts with the QB. We definitely don't have that type of QB, so that's the beginning.Do we think anyone on the current roster can run his type of offense or it'll be better to bring in a transfer?
It all starts with the QB. If the WRs can stay along with Burgess I think that’s a good start.Do we think anyone on the current roster can run his type of offense or it'll be better to bring in a transfer?

What a Christian thing to say.About 63% of people in the United States are Christian. There was a very good chance he was going to be Christian.
So did Coach Floyd, but I'm sure he was always looking for new jobs..So did BCG 😉
Goes back to this thread/comment:I'm not following the Christian comments?
@GymCenter only likes the missionary position and white Christian men to lead his revenue sports. So bland and boring, I’m done with UTEP athletics till he’s gone, I’m gonna rage drunk all day today in Vegas. Send donations to my cash app for bail money.
Hey speak for yourself, I would be thrilled if we hired a Satanist with a stripper girlfriend who owns a monkey who will try to eat the face off of any trespassers. Hell, I'd settle for a twerpy know-it-all atheist. But no...I thought Walden said all the right things in the press conference, he even got me excited for what the future may hold.

Love when he said that and that the team was going to have to earn their ticket purchases by giving us an exciting product on the field.

I don’t have any issue with the guy’s beliefs. Senter and Wilson said they wanted a coach who was a high integrity guy and they obviously felt he is it. So let’s seen what he does. I will say he probably had the most exciting first day on the job in UTEP history. If he can keep up that energy and UTEP fans can get behind him I think he has a chance to make football fun again.As a Christian, we are to be bold in our faith, and so as CSW said, I give thanks to my LORD and Savior Jesus for what he has done for me. The Constitution gives us the right to freely express ourselves, so go on.
As develman said, a bit off color for me but, we have ourselves a coach.
