Recruiting would be the key element.

C'mon some other Texas university. Save us from ourselves again!
I hope Golding gets hired away... but he's hasn't done anything to deserve another job, let alone a bigger job than UTEP.
UNT showed really poor judgement in not cancelling a staff lunch for an NIT home game.
But even they are not dumb enough to hire Golding.

Yeah, it’s possible he applied or someone just thought about him for the job, but yeah, UNT would be stupid to hire him. Their fans would be so pissed if it happens
Fvckn take him back Jared Mosley.
Texas did us a favor 4 years ago, maybe UTEP will get lucky again.
Yea but unfortunately we’ll still have Senter to hire the next coach and we all know he can’t do that, with the exception of the volleyball coach
We we're lucky that Terry left early. There's no way we get lucky twice.
Is there an alum wealthy enough who cares about UTEP basketball who can buy bronzing out of his contract?
I'd be underwhelmed with that list as a UNT fan. Cross and Hester aren't the worst but woof. Although, I'm surprised Cross has won as much as he has at Troy.
Golding is lucky if he's not 4th out of 4 in that group.

There’s local businesses that can easily raise the $300K to buyout Fool’s Golding. The question is why? What’s in it for them? What has UTEP done to deserve such generosity?
my take is old Joe will be around for next year. However, we will see new assistance coaches coming in replacing the current "under appreciated"assistance coaches to bring in new ideas and styles, plus someone with recruiting power. In Senter's mind this will correct the wrong in the system and produce a winning season.
lets see how many assistant coaches go into the portal..
can a real Miner fan hear a big "hell Ya" from everyone?

No. It does read weird tho. The writer should have said, "Really intrigued by the idea of Joe Golding ending up at North Texas", rather than "ended".
The writer also states, "Golding’s ties with Mosley make him intriguing. He could argue that he would be able to capitalize on the resources UNT has that UTEP lacks."
He's just one of several options.
Can't you just let us live with the slim possibility of CJG leaving. Why do you need to pop that bubble?
And that’s assuming Senter didn’t extend him after that 15-5 start. His buyout could now be north of a million. And new the new question is, why would El Paso want to clean up such an expensive mistake on Senter’s part?
Golding's buyout is $350,000. Starting September 1, its $0 (start of final contract year). They could fire Golding for nothing on that date.
So if they do not sign Golding to an extension and he coaches out his final year, this time next year, UTEP will have a new Head Coach under contract and Golding will also be under contract until August 31, 2026 on a pro rated basis. Which will cost about the same as his buyout.
Might as well rip the band aid off now.
We all have been saying this, better to bite the bullet and get rid of him now. Attendance will be awful next year, expectations and energy will be low, there’s no reason to keep him around. Unless he’s getting a group of ballers, which we all doubt, it’s going to be similar to this year.
Each day that UTEP waits, is a day lost to improve the roster and get fans excited for 25-26. Senter is basically saying he has enough fans that don’t care about results and he’s going to do whatever he wants.
...but worse. Imagine a whole new team trying to learn that hedging defense, all trying to be in sync. Nah, it's gonna be bad.
As far as Senter goes, I don't even think he thinks that. I get the sense HE just doesn't care. He's "probably" gone next year too and he's just riding it out. Collecting a paycheck watching shit go down the drain. He is the worst mistake UTEP has made....maybe ever.
As much as I might believe that, I just can’t. Maybe he’s oblivious to the situation, but I don’t know why he would want to just collect a paycheck and be remembered as the worst AD ever, that everyone will be happy he’s gone. He’s only 63, he could position himself for another job. I just don’t get why he would go down with the ship, when he can try to right it.
I mean, I know what you’re saying. And for the reasons you mention, why isn’t he trying to right the ship?
He has a history at UTEP, albeit brief, of hanging on to coaches too long and seemingly voluntarily going down with the ship. Why?
The only other thing I can think of is his loyalty far surpasses his ambition. He just seems like he doesn’t give a shit to me though.
