Charlie Bailey did his 1st year (through his defensive coaching which is why he was lured to UTEP), Gary Nord took UTEP to the blue smurf turf in Boise, Mike Price not only reenergized the team, he electrified the city big time, and those were fun days. Kugler came riding into El Paso with a flame thrower, some commercial grade bleach and threw out everything, broadened his shoulders and swore a new type of toughness at UTEP (Mike Price basically espoused the same thing because UTEP had a history of falling apart come November). His "does it look like I drink light beer?!" had everyone feeling proud.
That 1st year high can be some good stuff.
