If Utep loses to Kennesaw State...

Walden is recruiting decently well. Give him a couple of years to show progression and then decide. Meanwhile UTEP needs to work on facilities and whatever collective we have needs to keep growing. If UTEP needs to move on at least the next coach may have some tools in the toolbox.

In regards to systems most coaches are not rocket scientist. They are gonna run what they know and what has worked. Most are stubborn in that regard. Better players will always help too. Again, Walden needs a QB.

Miners have Really improved their PR campaign

It’s not hard to promote Sul Ross. You could have $1 hot dogs. $5 tickets. Some other kind of promotion. But nope, it’s full price tickets and full price concessions at the moment.

Does that mean it will be successful or it will sell out? No, but it’s the effort. Instead, it’s the same old UTEP playbook.

Tickers are $9.15. Having them at $5 really isn't going to move the needle.

Have $1 tickets and $1 beer and it will get people to show up.

If Utep loses to Kennesaw State...

Agree. I don't understand why he's not using this highly touted class now. With the way this crappy season is going, my guess is more than a handful of those recruits are going to go elsewhere.
Some still are hanging on player development. These guys will leave whenever they want. Not to mention, if some player isn’t doing well, Walden (or any other coach) will still replace him.

Walden has next season to be “competitive”. UTEP cannot afford to keep a 4-20 coach going into the MWC. There’s no way he wins 9 games in 2026 if he could only win 2 or 3 with a CUSA schedule.

Hard to promote Sul Ross. The home schedule sucks ass. They should have made the UNM game an official game not exhibition, would have been worth the drive.

He's guaranteed his base, which is 500k a year.
Did you even read the article?

“He will receive a base salary of $500,000 per year, with a guaranteed media supplement of $300,000 annually, totaling to an $800,000 contract on a yearly basis”
