In the era of NIL and transfer portal, the days of giving a coach 3-4-5 years to turn a program around are over. Win now or get your ass kicked out the door.
Hopefully so.I think there is drama going on . With Golding not wearing Utep gear ,and he not following Senter, President Wilson, and David Terrell. I think he is gone after this season.
Maybe Golding is awful on the road because he never remembers to bring his own detergent.
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”…Those schools aren’t asking for six wins in the first year, but they also won’t tolerate only six wins over two years.

All you have to be is... a top 80 team to earn a bowl bid? Definitely should be a reachable goal.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.
Lol I'm gonna be patient with the football program but my patience with Golding is completely eroded.Sorry guy, 4 years just isn’t enough time to win here. Maybe next season?
Sorry guy, 4 years just isn’t enough time to win here. Maybe next season?Fourth season and the road woes continue.
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.Recruiting is irrelevant. You should either go Bowling or be fired. Right now over 60 coaches should be on the hot seat.

Have you seen the recruiting class? We will go bowling
Fourth season and the road woes continue.look for a dog fight.. Miners come up short. They still have to learn to win on the road.

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.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.
Have you seen the recruiting class? We will go bowlingAll 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.
Why aren’t coaches wearing suits and ties? The pandemic is long over.Maybe it's in the laundry?
Maybe it's in the laundry?Why doesn't Golding wear Utep gear?? In my Twitter drama thread someone brought up Golding wasn't wearing Adidas gear.
Only men win on the roadlook for a dog fight.. Miners come up short. They still have to learn to win on the road.

Just pointing out that it’s possible and schools aren’t waiting 4 years to be good. AAC schools aren’t even giving 3 years now.
I don’t know. Just pointing out that it’s possible and schools aren’t waiting 4 years to be good. AAC schools aren’t even giving 3 years now.Ok good for their last Coach. Shouldn’t their new Coach win 7 games this year?
Thats the standard that’s been set
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?
