After a dismal year that saw the UTEP Miners football team go winless, changes needed to be made.
With change comes a breath of fresh air for a team that was attempting to relive its glory days when they brought former head coach Mike Price out of retirement during that dreadful 0-12 season.
Exit screen out the old era of UTEP athletics and enter the new era of athletics with the hire of Jim Senter.
Senter’s first mission into his “wake up the sleeping giant” mantra was the hire of new head coach Dana Dimel. The former Kansas State offensive coordinator then tasked to end the longest losing streak in the FBS, preferred to go with familiarity when it came to his coaching staff.
