Dana Dimel?

[ShovelMan66]

Okay, I will never get over the Sterlin Gilbert snub but after a night of reflection I think I'm firmly behind coach Dimel.

I'm sure most of us are behind him, but we'd rather be behind someone else.

Just like with most everything UTEP does, we're settling for something, instead of celebrating. Big difference.

UTEP should have offered Sarkisian the job! Hell, if it worked out for FAU........

“Dimel leaves behind a polarizing legacy at K-State. He helped the Wildcats reach eight consecutive bowl games and win a Big 12 championship during his most recent stint in Manhattan, but his play-calling was unpopular with many fans this of late because of its reliance on quarterback keepers, which has led to numerous injuries at the position.

Still, he coordinated several potent offenses over the years, particularly in 2011 and 2012 with Heisman trophy finalist Collin Klein at quarterback and then again with strong-armed passer Jake Waters. Under Dimel, the Wildcats have regularly excelled at running the ball, limiting mistakes, avoiding turnovers and winning time of possession.”

Sounds like a typical Stullesk response to legitimate criticism. Name ONE thing UTEP fans should be happy about the last 3-5 years.

Floyd resigning

Damn that’s a great hire, I even saw possible posts that canales was in the running for UTEP’s HC. Great to get him as an OC.

I don’t know — I follow the B12 most closely.

Has anyone seen any billboards welcoming Dimel to El Paso? I was in Houston over the weekend and saw some welcoming Bloomgren to RICE.

Hey, I got a nickname for him to put on a billboard!

"WELCOME, DIMEBAG DIMEL TO UTEP!"

What?! It's a compliment to be named after this metal badass (May he RIP)!

 

[RanDaddyBinks]

So you're saying we got foisted?

Damn it, that was brilliant. I hate that it didn’t occur to me to use that.

He doesn't officially move to El Paso until December 16, so it would be nice if UTEP did that.

My thoughts exactly MinerJo. SOO many experts in here who should have been Athletic Directors somewhere. Never happy, never satisfied with anything. Don't like it, don't buy tickets. We'll be glad to take your seats. GO MINERS !!!!

How’s it been working out for you?
