Those schools aren’t asking for six wins in the first year, but they also won’t tolerate only six wins over two years.
Right and the thing is, UTEP could have been close to having the NMSU game mean something. Losing to Southern Utah really tanked the season. With some “better coaching”, UTEP could have won the LaTech and MTSU games. There’s 3 wins right there, instead they’re 3 losses. Guess we’ll excuse them since he’s a “first year coach”…

Recruiting is irrelevant. You should either go Bowling or be fired. Right now over 60 coaches should be on the hot seat.

I think at minimum, 60-70 Coaches should be fired every season and 40-50 of those should be fired mid-season.
There’s 80+ bowl teams every year now. That is the way it’s headed. If Charlotte and FAU aren’t giving 2 full years now, that’s a wake up call for coaches. Adapt or continue to carry on “it takes 4 years” philosophy here. It’s worked so WELL you know.

Any competent athletic director would have made the decision to fire him around 2009 or 2010. I often wonder what level of interest there might have been in coaching at UTEP before the program was driven into the ground.
The only reason Price ended up at UTEP is because nobody else would touch him with a 10 ft pole. We probably would have just got Kugler a couple years early.

All we can offer right now is patience. Next year, if we don’t make it to a bowl game, there won’t be room for any more excuses. UNM played three “money games,” the #2 ranked FCS team, and a full Mountain West conference schedule. They’re now just one win away from being bowl eligible. I can’t even begin to imagine what our record would look like with that schedule.
Have you seen the recruiting class? We will go bowling

2 years ago, their 1st year coach won 7 games and won a bowl game. Then he made the conference championship game their first year in the league.

Been 57 years since UTEP won a bowl game and they’ve never played in the CUSA championship game, despite being in the league for 20 years. How’s that for the continuity you want?

Ok good for their last Coach. Shouldn’t their new Coach win 7 games this year?

Thats the standard that’s been set
