I said it last week, and watching San Jose State absolutely embarrass UTEP tonight should be beyond unacceptable. We are in YEAR THREE of the Scotty Walden era, and somehow the product on the field looks just as bad, if not worse. Where is the progress? Where is the accountability? I keep going back to my argument from last week. How much money is this university willing to lose before someone finally realizes that keeping this coaching staff is costing us more than making a change? Empty seats, declining fan interest, lost revenue, and an absolutely pathetic product on the field. @UTEPFB @JimSenter2 @AdrianBroaddus @600espnelpaso @UTEPPresident @MattCastr0 #minertalk

The financial argument for keeping @CoachSWUTEP makes absolutely no sense. By continuing to put a noncompetitive product on the field in Year 3, we’re potentially losing at least 10,000 fans per game. At an average ticket price of $20, that’s $200,000 in lost ticket revenue alone. Throw in another estimated $50,000 per game in concessions and parking, and you’re looking at roughly $750,000 (estimated) in potential lost revenue over the final three home games. At this point, how much money are we actually saving by keeping him? We’re potentially losing more money by holding on to him than we would by moving on. Put the buyout on a credit card if you have to, but it’s time to turn the page. At what point does this university stop accepting mediocrity? We’re in Year 3, and the fans deserve better than the consistently poor product being put on the field. Enough is enough @UTEPFB @AdrianBroaddus @600espnelpaso @MattCastr0 … didn’t even have enough fans to give away all the commemorative coins. What a joke…

LFG!!! @UTEPFB @600espnelpaso @AdrianBroaddus
