NMSU has a First Year Head Coach now that has the same record as Walden.

2 years ago, their 1st year coach won 7 games and won a bowl game. Then he made the conference championship game their first year in the league.

Been 57 years since UTEP won a bowl game and they’ve never played in the CUSA championship game, despite being in the league for 20 years. How’s that for the continuity you want?

Then root for NMSU.

Ok good for their last Coach. Shouldn’t their new Coach win 7 games this year?

Thats the standard that’s been set

I don’t know. Just pointing out that it’s possible and schools aren’t waiting 4 years to be good. AAC schools aren’t even giving 3 years now.

Bingo

And your point is?

Mike Price had 7 Straight Losing Seasons. I'm guessing 1 or 2 years of being good is the trade off you have to live with.

Any competent athletic director would have made the decision to fire him around 2009 or 2010. I often wonder what level of interest there might have been in coaching at UTEP before the program was driven into the ground.

All we can offer right now is patience. Next year, if we don’t make it to a bowl game, there won’t be room for any more excuses. UNM played three “money games,” the #2 ranked FCS team, and a full Mountain West conference schedule. They’re now just one win away from being bowl eligible. I can’t even begin to imagine what our record would look like with that schedule.

Have you seen the recruiting class? We will go bowling

The only reason Price ended up at UTEP is because nobody else would touch him with a 10 ft pole. We probably would have just got Kugler a couple years early.

I really hope so. It would be great to share some positive posts around here for a change.

Recruiting is irrelevant. You should either go Bowling or be fired. Right now over 60 coaches should be on the hot seat.

I think at minimum, 60-70 Coaches should be fired every season and 40-50 of those should be fired mid-season.

You’re probably right. The university has never managed to leverage momentum to elevate the program to the next level. I’m not sure if that mindset will ever change.

There’s 80+ bowl teams every year now. That is the way it’s headed. If Charlotte and FAU aren’t giving 2 full years now, that’s a wake up call for coaches. Adapt or continue to carry on “it takes 4 years” philosophy here. It’s worked so WELL you know.

All you have to be is... a top 80 team to earn a bowl bid? Definitely should be a reachable goal.
