Scotty Walden new UTEP FB Coach

[axingfools1]

I don’t either. Nor do I blame him for bailing from the forum. It’s kinda depressing, borderline toxic, around here at times.

Borderline is being nice

You all must be soft if you think this board is "toxic".

Kyyote's Den had one. Broke news on a star offensive player years back under Kugler. He disappeared, 😆.

Why don't you apply?

I already graduated from college.

You never went to college, so you can go to UTEP.

Great opportunity for someone!

Don't be shocked if we end up with a winning record next year we are going to be FAST ! looks like we have a decent O-line... its going to be fun post the Nebraska , Colorado ST, and TN games (although I think we steal one of those games!)

I wouldn't rule it out but his staff is loyal -- UTEP is a great opportunity for all of them... don't worry the staff will be loaded just like the 2024 Miners LETS GO!

This ERA will be different -- they may not win out of the gate (I think they will) but they will eventually compete for a CUSA title and constistently go to a bowl. NO DOUBT

I wonder what ridiculous things will be said between now and September

I think after the S Utah game most Walden family disappeared for good.

Going back as far as I can remember, UTEP has won in years where we had a proven successful quarterback, and NFL or maybe CFL caliber skill talent, all-conference level recievers, RBs, tight ends etc. Through in a good blocking backs and kickers and all-pro level defensive players. How many of those do we have this year? Honestly...

1988 Pat Haggerty - John Harvey - Arnie Atkinson - Reggie Barret - Chris Jacke
2000 Rocky Perez - Brian Natkin - Lee Mays - Ricky Bishop
2004 Jordan Palmer - Howard Jackson - Johnnie Lee Higgins

Lots of NFL players in this bunch.

I wouldn't expect it. His son is the WeFense coordinator, arguably one of the worst special teams in the country last year. Maybe if they start looking better.

Maybe the reality of what it means to be a fan of the worst program in America was too much for him to take. Thin skinned.

Every one of those teams also had a very good defense. Tony Tolbert, Menson Holloway, Thomas Howard, Q Demps. It helps to have a defense that can get timely stops

Sort of on this topic, a few days ago I did a google search on the roster of the 2003 football team. The google AI summary basically listed every player that has gone pro as being on that team.

Chris Jacke, Lee Mays, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Tony Tolbert, Jordan Palmer, Aaron Jones, Brian Young, Brian Natkin. Hell I think it even had Seth Joyner.

AI is sometimes stupid, but man, imagine that team. The best that have ever played here all on one team.

Fixed that for you

To be fair if you say you’re family on any sports board you’re going to catch all kinds of hell if the results go south. I’m sure he’s still here, just not posting.

He's a proud dad. I'm sure all of us would be proud parents if our son was a D1 coach. It's probably best for a proud dad to not go to message board where things can and do get a little crazy. I wish him well. I'm sure he meant well.

100% I can’t fault the dude for having high hopes for the team because he believes in his kid. And I’m sure it’s tough reading our criticisms of the program, because in a way we’re criticizing his kid. I totally get that could be tough for any parent to read. I hope this team can prove him right.
