Provo • BYU assistant head coach, special teams coordinator and safeties coach Ed Lamb has no ties to UTEP and doesn’t know anyone associated with the Miners’ football program.
But several publications called the former Cougar player and Southern Utah head coach a candidate to replace UTEP coach Sean Kugler, who stepped down Sunday after an 0-5 start.
“That is probably just a media-generated thing,” Lamb said Tuesday. “I am not aware of any application process, and I certainly haven’t submitted anything like that. It must be [coming from] somebody besides me.”
“I am honored to think that anybody would consider me worthy of a head coaching job at the FBS level,” he said.
