While I must agree this wasn't the hire I wanted, who am I (or anyone on here) to complain right now?
Is there an AD posting on this board that can enlighten me on to why we should be acting like we a friggin Tennessee? What does any of you have as far as experience in hiring a football coach?
Ok then....let's look at some things
Aside from hearing rumor that Gilbert was interested, do any of you guys KNOW that anyone else wanted to take over our mess? Of course not. Many on here developed their own list of who we wanted. No where did we hear those names linked. Matter of fact, there were zero leaks from UTEP before this hire. (This makes me believe Stull had zero to do with it)
I believe Dimel reached out to Senter once he was named AD. Others might have too.
Dimil was last a HC over 10 years ago. I bet it's safe to say he will do some things differently. And as far as K State fans being happy he's gone, just remember we have NEVER been happy with a coordinator. So yeah...
I don't read too much into his coaching record from over 10 years ago. Who knows what happened aside from losing. A LOT of time has passed and hopefully he has learned some things. Just because a coach is a winner in the past doesn't mean he will be here. (Ex: Tim Floyd) and vise versa
Again, it's not who I would have like to see, nor is it who I was expecting, but I am not gonna go burn all my UTEP gear just yet.
Exhale people....exhale...
