Apparently some schools are continuously dedicated to finding a winner and conference championships.
Last UTEP coach to be fired (not resigned/retire) is Gary Nord after the 2003 season (20 years ago), he won 29.2% of his games in 4 years.
In that timespan, UTEP is 86-151 (36.3%), including this year, and UTEP never fired a coach.
Price won 41.4% = lasted 9 years and even was invited back after Kugler bolted, that guy sure could tell a good joke after losing a game! What a great guy!
Kugler 33.3% - horrible hire, Stull's lasting legacy (hiring a former player as a courtesy).
Dimel is 29.9% (20-47), yet there is actual concern among fans there is a chance he will be brought back. If you grant him his first 2 years trying to rebuild, he is only 41.9% winning % (18-25) = which is right on par with Price.
If history is indication of future results, then we should expect 3 1/2 more years of Dimel because he's a proven winner in the same mold as the Mike "Fake Arrest" Price.
At that time midway through the 2027 season he will step down for "personal reasons" and Scottie "Mix it up" O'Hara will be named interim, then permanent HC after the season, after going 2-5 as Interim.
I need to go back and compare coaches TIme of Possession, Most Timeouts used, most 3rd and over 20 yard plays, and removing helmets after a defensive stop - I am positive Dimel leads all-time coaches (need to verify of course)
