“UTEP is a sleeping giant. There’s so many advantages of being here.” These were the words from UTEP’s new offensive coordinator Mike Canales that echoed through the Larry K. Durham Center as a new era of Miners football has been set in place.
Today, newly hired head coach Dina Dimel introduced Canales and defensive coordinator Mike Cox as newly hired members of his staff.
It was Dimel’s first full week on the job at UTEP after finishing up his last game as Kansas State’s offensive coordinator in their 35-17 win over UCLA in the Cactus Bowl.
Dimel’s main emphasis began with the recruiting—something he says he and his staff have hit the ground running this week.
