A 3-9 season in 2023 is forcing yet another reboot in the UTEP Miners football program. Out is Dana Dimel after losing seasons in five of his six in El Paso. In is Scotty Walden, who was 26-14 at FCS Austin Peay. Prior to Austin Peay, Walden was the interim head coach of Southern Miss in the 2020 COVID-19 season, going 1-3. The Miners only have seven returning starters this season, as much of UTEP’s starting lineup bolted for the transfer portal with the coaching change. Walden did bring ten transfers up from Austin Peay, which should speed the transition.
