Short bus Senter is the worst AD in FBS. He can't raise money and has no vision and zero leadship qualities.. Until he's gone things will get worse. Giving Senter an extension should get him fired but it wont.

Last year was a fluke. Dimel has taken us as high as he can go. Time to move on.
It's happened time and time again. We've watched as schools passed us by. NMSU is going to get into the MWC. They are focusing on football and that rebuild is way ahead of schedule. I thought by now somebody would wake up but we're still asleep at the wheel and short bus senter is going to drive us off a cliff.
Yep. It would be possible, just not with Senter/Wilson.
NMSU and/or UTEP won’t be added by the MWC unless they’re on life support like CUSA was last year.
Exactly, NMSU and SHSU will pass UTEP by... The leadership at UTEP is terrible, Senter needs to go, and next year get rid of Dana "the timeout" Dimel.
Wouldn’t it be just a perfect world if some P5 school would come pluck Dimel away just like UT did with Terry so we wouldn’t have to buy out his contract?
Ah, never mind. We’d still have Senter choosing his replacement.

Dimel is complaining on the post game show about not having a timeout at the end of the game. Does this guy not realize that he's the one that wasted them early in the half? It's not something that should surprise him as he does this every game.
It’s doesn’t surprise me that it surprises him.
We have seen Dimel over the last five years and have not seen the progress that we were all waiting for. Dimel took over a team that was depleted and has brought in good talent. However, bad play calling, poor clock management and a lack of execution continue to haunt this team. This is a coaching problem! I believe Dimel has peaked and won’t be able to take us to the next level. We need a coaching change and not allow this team to regress to the point we were five years ago, and go through another rebuild. We should be getting some CUSA money from the defectors that may give us funds to buy him out. We need a young, up and coming coordinator or FCS coach that can bring excitement to this team. It pains me to see teams like Utsa, Rice and Unt leave us in the dust. Change needs to happen before we we really tank.
I'm glad I missed the game. Less stress when you dont watch.
I have seen enough of Dimel. His ceiling as a HC is the .500 mark. It is time to move on from him.
Maybe with the terrible crowd they are going to have Saturday, Wilson will demand a change.
Yawn. New season = get swept by NMSU, lose to teams like UC Riverside and Bradley, be average in CUSA play, exit early from CUSA Tourney, and maybe play in the CBI.
Really hard to get excited about hoops in a one bid league.
Probably not. But, like I said, it’s all I got. And the glutton for punishment that I am, I’ll be pulling for em just the same.
Seems like defense cost us far more tonight than offense but please don’t let me interrupt your usual rant
Colby Carthel, GJ Kinne, or the guy from the booth who knew more about the UTEP offense than Dimel, Tom Herman.

Why does it matter? We've all made excellent suggestions and then have seen those suggestions go on to have successful times at their G5 school. In the end Senter will pick some random name out of a hat .
Got on a plane at 30-30 and just knew we'd blow it based on how the defense got beat the whole night! It was obvious that the aggressive rush was exposing the secondary, yet UTEP coached didn't learn their lesson. It sucks that Hardison went down, but Calvin made some big plays and If Utep had time, probably would've gotten this one to OT at least. This one is A. On coaching B. On lack of defense C. Not converting red zone trips into Td's and probably a whole bunch of other reasons we will have a losing season and not go Bowling. Next year Dimel and Hardison will be back and Smith will probably transfer. It's a hard reality that Utep fans should be used to, but still stinks. We are UTEP Football one of the worst FBS Football programs in history. We are a hopeful fan base as showed by the 1st game against N. Texas. However we are what we are and unless the new President makes Big changes, it will continue unfortunately. Sad Miner Fans yet again 😮💨
After hearing the Dimel supporters lined up in masse on the post game radio show after the Boise game I am convinced that there is another quiet war brewing a la Tim Floyd style. What should have been a joyous victory was a Russian State TV style calling out of the all the "Dimel Haters". Some media personalities may think it was not big deal, "fans being passionate" but I found it disturbing in the fact of "Oh no! Here we go again!".
Senter has a ton of bridge building to do. What started as new promise before the UNT game could now be a point of no return for Dimel football.

Well at least with basketball we will have the 'new car smell', even if it was rebuilt with junk yard parts.
Tom Herman, and there is probably smoke... He knows Texas, and will coach his team. I would love to see Graham Harrell, he also knows Texas and will run an exciting offense.

It's gonna be someone from this list. Maybe Don Strock.

Unfortunately, some of those guys probably have jobs currently that pay well above what UTEP can pay (not that we as the fan base would want them)….being an assistant coach elsewhere is probably better than being the head football coach at UTEP. That is an issue I see with UTEP football.
My favorite College Coach is Tony Annese . Met him at clinics a few times. He is exceptional. High powered offenses, great recruiter, and dynamic personality. He is currently the Head Coach of Ferris State. He is 61 which is a negative but hey, D1 coaches are on a 5 year leash anyway.
A lot of today’s 60 year old coaches are yesterday’s 50 year olds.
(Dimel ain’t one of them)
Herman can land a much better job than UTEP.
Agree. No way he goes from Ohio State’s OC to winning a Peach Bowl at UH to UT’s head coach……….to UTEP.
