Can we stop pretending that this is a good team?

Will Wade would be a slam dunk hire. He would have UTEP competitive in their first year in the MW. If I’m Senter, I would be making contact with him or his agent after the season gauging his interest level and what it would take to land him. Hopefully it isn’t too late to land him. I think he has served his time and will generate interest from P5 schools after the season.

Will Wade would be a slam dunk hire. But it might be too late to land him. I think he will get some interest from P5 teams when the season is over. If UTEP is willing to shell out 7 figures for the HC position, he would be the guy to give it to.

Sure you don’t want a guy who went 109-114 at Georgia Tech instead?

Again you want a guy who coached in 1 NCAA tournament game his last 9 years of coaching to coach here?

Again, Georgia Tech was crippled by sanctions, which were later overturned and Pastner was cleared of any wrongdoing, but not before the damage from the sanctions was done. As a UTEP fan you should remember the damage that sanctions did to the later Haskins teams.

So you can always comment and complain about others …. Who would be your realistic choice for head coach ?

Lots of up and coming assistants. I was just curious as to why he thinks he’s a good candidate. I would be against any coach that had a losing record and made 1 tournament appearance in 7 years at this last stop. He wasn’t exactly lightning it up at Memphis either.

Hiring Pastner would be like hiring Dana Dimel. Horrible optics. Might as well drop out of D1 if we hire Pastner.

Ohhh I agree I never thought past er was any good … but who would you want to hire specifically?

I never heard of Billy Gillispie prior to him getting the UTEP job. Same with Doc Sadler and Tony Barbee. Didn’t know who Jerome Tang was. Barely knew who Rodney Terry and Bronzeing were. I don’t have a want at the moment.

I do want want Pastner, Gillispie, Barbee, Hardaway or Foster though.
