"Golding expected to leave ACU for new coaching job at UTEP
APRIL 13, 2021 BY OWEN SIMPSON
Head coach Joe Golding is expected to leave ACU for a new head coach position at UTEP.
Golding was ACU’s head coach for 10 seasons and led the team during its transition to Div. I. After his first seven seasons as head coach, his combined record was 87-121.
However, the last three seasons, Golding and the Wildcats were a combined 71-23, capturing two consecutive Southland Conference Tournament championships and the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory in March.
UTEP is coming off a 12-12 season and lost in the First Round of the Conference USA Tournament.
The Miners won the NCAA Div. I Tournament in 1966 as Texas Western against Kentucky. They have appeared in 17 NCAA Tournaments. Their last appearance was in 2010.
In a tweet from senior guard Reggie Miller, he said that all current players will not be involved in team workouts until associate head coach Brette Tanner is offered the new head coaching position.
“Me and my teammates have come to an agreement to not participate in workouts until [Tanner] is offered the head coaching job,” Miller said on social media.
Tanner has been with ACU’s program for eight years.
This is a developing story."
Their top assistant has been there a long time and may be offered the hc job.
Still have mine too. With the Texas flag/ pickaxe design.. Think it was Gibbys design.
If Senter could bring Brette Tanner with Coach G...?!?
I’d lay off the guy for a minute!
I haven't been this excited about UTEP athletics in a L.O.N.G. damn time.
It should never have changed. MinerDigs forever.
I was doing cartwheels when we hired Floyd. That didn't turn out the way I imagined. I'm excited about Golding, but will keep my expectations in check.
Same. I thought Tim Floyd was going to do great things here. Until he didn't. LOL
The difference with Floyd, he was experienced...but he had baggage and was already older. This guy is still young, and is prime. Especially if he wants a p5 job. Of course he could fail as well. This feels different, the stars are lining up nicely for UTEP athletics...If Dimel doesn’t win this season, he is probably gone. If he wins, then hopefully it’s the start of something good. Still feel like Floyd felt obligated, but his heart was not truly in it...
In retrospect, I think Floyd came in too arrogant. He had a chip on his shoulder after being scapegoated at USC, and was more about proving himself than building the program. After the Isaac Hamilton fiasco, things fell apart.
I agree that Golding brings a more positive and enthusiastic vibe. Loved watching his post-tournament presser. I think El Paso will quickly fall in love with him. I'm pumped!
Yeah I too thought he was the savior and second coming of Don Haskins...oh well we learned didn’t we. But I hope retirement is going good for him.
It's always poon or money, or just plain old masochism.
I would imagine astronauts get plenty of the other as well.
Extremely happy with who we landed as our next head coach.
The only thing I regret, in not getting Tang, we won’t be able to refer his squad as the U-Tang Clan.

Is Doc Wilson flying the plane!? We’re saving money anywhere we can without that buyout money!
Long time reading this forum, since back in the minerdigs days. I couldn't remember my old log in from back in the day, so I had to create a new handle. Looking forward to the discourse. Super excited for the Golding hire. Let's go!
Looks like we got a call sign for one of the private birds UTEP uses.
This will come in handy when we’re speculating who the next FB coach is!

Press conference is being held at the Don Haskins Center. People attending in person are asked to go at 2 p.m.
Looks like I missed out on all the fun. Pretty happy with the outcome. Hope it works out for us.
This will be our #GoldenEra
Ed Anderson, Diversified Interiors, graciously let Senter use his plane to pick up the coach. A great supporter of UTEP athletics.
Unless he really really wanted the job, I don’t see him making less than Terry. How can you offer him less than Terry? That’s insulting
Covid.
Romano's damage control article said we weren't paying the same.
What happened to that article I can't find it.
