Scotty Walden new UTEP FB Coach

I'm interested to see how Walden recruits with Mountain West brand to sell
 
Well unfortunately that's what happens when you go with an FCS QB. Again, I think he (Sky) works in certain packages or plays but not as a full time D1 starting QB. Great speed, strong arm but lacks accuracy and is too short.

I think it’s a growing process for everyone. Walden is still a young coach and I think he’s still trying to navigate what works as well. I think the one promising move he’s made was going to Cade and letting him rip the ball downfield. Hopefully he sees that’s his best chance to put points on the board and adjusts his scheme accordingly.
 
So was Dimel
No, we knew from the start that Dimel preferred a ball control offense. What we hoped was that he had learned something since his last head coaching stint in and it would be an efficient ball control offense. We instead got what we feared: an inept offense, to go along with poor discipline and horrible game management.
 
Wonder how many more of those type of players Walden replaced with his OKG from Austin Peay.
It looks like he’s going down the line and seeing who can play. McConnell, Jolly and several of the freshmen. I know the season hasn’t gone as we wanted but at least he’s not afraid to replace guys which will help since there are guys who have stepped up and played better.
 
In fairness, he's a coach's dad. He came in full of excitement and hope. It just didn't pan out that way. I mean, Walden brought in his FCS players and system and expected FBS results.

There's always next year.
Yeah. I don’t blame a coach or player’s dad for having faith in their kid. I don’t think there’s a parent here that would ever say “My kid’s in over his head..”
 
They will win 5 games -- NO DOUBT. I Think we may be bowling next year ... don't underestimate Coach and his crew.
First Official Visits this weekend -- you will see the change.

Awesome! I guess UTEP will win 5/6 of their games.
 
I don’t either. Nor do I blame him for bailing from the forum. It’s kinda depressing, borderline toxic, around here at times.

Really? I have never seen anything depressing or toxic on here. There are the cheerleaders who think UTEP is going to go bowling every year, there are Negative Nancy's who never have anything positive to say, and then there are the bulk of the posters on here who accept the reality of UTEP athletics.

His son is the “Wefense Coordinator/Miner Backs/Inside Wide Receivers/Passing Game Coordinator”. I don’t really think he is the reason why the Miners are 0-6.

If you want to come here and talk up your kid that’s fine, he mostly talked up Walden though. Then claimed we were going to beat one of Nebraska, CSU, or Tennessee. I mean come on, he obviously doesn’t know the history of UTEP football and it makes him sound ridiculous and dumb.
