Newly-minted UTEP football coach Dana Dimel, one week into what he hopes is a long run here in El Paso, rolled out the future of the Miners' football programs Thursday in his two coordinators Mike Cox and Mike Canales, talked about how his first recruiting class is coming and, when asked, talked about the state of off-season transfers.

The short answer on that last part: No one has left, but there is a chance UTEP could land a big-name graduate transfer from a power conference school who happens to share a last name with the new head coach.
