Senter can't rehash Dimel's past and his move from KSU to UTEP.
He can remedy what he has been a perceived habitual problem that keeps him from being a successful HC. UTEP does bring in good recruits but why is UTEP failing on the field?
Since the Kugler era look at the rb's UTEP has brought in since AJ. Mid Majors would give a left arm for the quality rb's that have graced the Sun Bowl turf.
WR's? Total opposite. UTEP has not had a good WR since Leslie and he doesn't let UTEP forget that time to time on social media.
OL? Bit of politics on this one from Kugler to Dimel. Pass blocking did improve slightly.
LB's? UTEP has a legendary history of LB's. They don't sell it. OU sells Boz like a drug. UTEP needs to sell Joyner, Wortham, Rodriguez, Howard(R.I.P.) etc...
Secondary? See above.
D line? UTEP needs another "Pookie" Floyd. Edge rusher. Opponents and since now the RPO is gaining popularity, those that can beat a block like a chef can break an egg is needed. QB's get rid of the ball quicker in the RPO, Speed and core strength on the line (and not necessarily beef) are essential with the RPO.
Coaching? IMO, Dimel gave away his weakness: He stared "he is not a Rah! Rah!" coach a few weeks ago. He may need to be. He embraced social media. He may need to embrace a bottle of Nugenix for the sideline.
AD? Mike Price was great at one thing and that was embracing the city. He kissed babies and ate tamales like a seasoned politician. No need for that but put your face in business offices big to tiny. Mike Price had UTEP logos put on trash trucks all over the county. I see pick axe's on business landscaping on westside but that's it; it's just the westside!! There is another half of the city past the eastern slopes of the Franklin Mountains and older folks really don't like social media. Use billboards more.
