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.

Good. Then root for the Lobos.

There’s a trend going on X for fans to boycott Dallas Cowboys home games. A lot of good that would do. First, it gives visiting team fans more opportunities to make it their home field advantage. More importantly, Jerah doesn’t give a shit about his football team. As long as he continues to attract events to JerryWorld, such as the boxing fiasco between a YouTube influencer clown and a 58 year old has-been, Herr Jerah will laugh all the way to the bank.

Walden’s best years were 3 and 4 at Austin Peay. So his Track Record from his previous job says that he needs a 3rd year.

Continuity is good for a program like UTEP. I don’t think chasing lightning in a bottle and changing coaches every 2 years to try and get one special year is effective in a school with a poor history.

It takes at least two years to implement a college defense according to college coaches. The linebacking corp has become so specialized in itself as compared to say, running backs. Mike, Sam, hybrid secondary/linebacker position for the d coordinators specialized defense. In the offense, we can plainly see the qb tell the rb which side to be be on; like Coach Kugler once said to the media, everything starts with the center then you work outwards. Simple gaps (alphabetical or numerical) everyone is assigned and you plow forward; with Kugler, literally, as he demanded power over design. On defense the linebacker has to tell everyone....everyone, how where to line up often during games after a quick glance of offensive set (the lb has to make split second decisions); hence, why you see him waving his fingers at db's to taps on the fanny on D linemen to shift and this happens constantly and pray no one blows an assignment. "Practice, practice, practice" as Madden would say (he felt players spent to much time with weight lifting rather than honing their skills). It takes two to three years to cement.

Mike Price caught that lightning with a highly motivated defense who were well skilled ready to go and all recruited by Nord. Some went to the NFL, that's how good they were. He lost coordinators but he couldn't recruit like Nord (But Nord couldn't coach like Price).

4 years is ample and realistic. 6-7 does damage. D1 is a money making machine, you have to sell. Price went 7 and Dimel 6 and both did a lot of damage and like an addicted gambler, UTEP had to "chase their losses" instead of calling it good after year four and starting over.

If he finishes 3-9 this year and then 4-8 in 2025, you’re running him back to kick off the MWC era in 2026?

Before anyone says, "at least the Cowboys will have a high draft pick,":

First, Jerry is the one that is making it, and this team is in a different position than it has been in the past as they are free falling and a few pieces are not going to do it, especially rookies.

Secondly, there is going to be a mass exodus of veteran players, in the same way Schultz, Witten, etc left. Martin will be gone as well as Lawrence and Parsons will not be far behind. He wants to play with Quinn as many other free agents.

Lastly, Jerry will most likely draft a much needed RB, as he will think that is the answer to everything and that now he will be in the Super Bowl with Dak coming back and a rookie stud college RB, only to have no offensive line to block for him.

Until this team begins the complete rebuild, this team will be really bad, as Jerry thinks adding a few pieces is all he needs to do. As others have said on here before, they need to subtract completely, before they are going to get better, and that won't happen until Dak is gone because Jerry believes he is a star that can lead his team to the Super Bowl.

Again, we all wanted Dimel gone. He’s gone. It’s year 1 for Walden. Year fkn 1. Yea, other coaches have done it in year 1, unfortunately we didn’t with a schedule that had 2 money games and ONLY 5 home games.


It’s annoying AF Kane. We get it, we suck.

Give it 1 more year. If Scotty is still learning on the job then let him go. But right now his recruiting classes look solid. Let’s hope for some retention, and that he learned something in his first year coaching D1. 2025 he SHOULD win at least 6 games and go bowling.

He is just like Dak, he only has great numbers when surrounded by other superstars. He is another guy that you can double team, and take out of the game. Superstars find a way to win and carry the team on their back. The Cowboys spent close to 100 million a year on 2 players that can't stand out on their own.
