I think they are very similar. Honestly I would take a chance on either one if they wanted to take a chance on us. Someone will take a chance on them eventually, might as well be us. I still like Marion better because he's developed his own offensive scheme. He's been at many plances so he has lots of contacts in the business and can draw assistant coaches from all over.
To add on, utep has always made the commitment in basketball in terms of funding and with success has lost a few coaches since Haskins retired.
What else did I say in the sentence that followed about Marion being an offensive coordinator?
His offense is being used throughout college football and in the NFL? What teams? Or is he using someone else's offense not as efficient?
This part I can't argue with. That however is the only advantage he has. His on field results our marginally better than the coach we already have and he has the talent advantage. He has a nice story but I want us to win on the field more than I want to win in the press clippings.
This is a pretty disingenuous statement considering he's 4 - 1 with UNLV and averaging 36 points per game and beat the coach we have by 17 points in his first year as a D-1 coordinator. If you think that's marginally better then you're completely mental.
Look at the offensive production. Yards per play, yards per pass and yards per rush. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. They scored 36 points a game because their defense is very good at getting turnovers. This gives the offense short fields several times a game.
It's Dimels QB that's turning the ball over. Doesn't he take some responsibility for that? Marion is running a freshman QB that is better than Dimels 6th year guy. You call that marginally better? And it doesn't matter how many yards per play you have if you can't get the ball in the end zone. Marion can and Dimel can't.
I guess my coach has some flaws with his name too. If he gets hired and things are going bad, we're gonna say, "What the Heck, Eck"!!!
That's not true I believe or from what I hear if UTEP does not by some Huge miracle win 5 more games and get Bowl Eligible he's gone 1 year before his contract ends!
Dimel's lost the fans, he's lost the team, losing sponsors and donors. There is no possible way he can survive another year. Senter is in survival mode. The only way he can survive is to hire a new coach that can instill some energy into the organization.
Yes that's what I'm saying. I also believe he's gone after this year, I've dated that
Based on UTEP's resources, I would look to hire a successful FCS coach with a history of producing without many resources. They will probably be able to react to portal losses and rebuilding rosters.
For some reason, I can see this as the most likely outcome. You can stay as HC but you have to give up play calling duties.
I don't want Senter selecting the next HC, that's for sure. The entire AD needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt.
Give Senter credit, he’s a man of great judgement, that’s hard to fine. Dimel may suck, but he’s super nice and has historically won time of possession. You need to get it together before talking about Senter and Dimel! Sheesh!
Did Senter ever present his "initiatives"? I might have missed them 🤔
PowerPoint take awhile to put together.
Wilson laid it all out: Go into each game with a 50/50 chance of winning.
