Scotty isn’t the problem. He’s just a symptom of a larger disease known as @UTEPAthletics.
@HeatherAnWilson simply doesn’t care and @JimSenter2 is more than happy cashing his bonus checks with absolutely no pressure to win at anything.

UTEP leadership keeps asking El Paso to support the football program. Perhaps it's time for the athletic department to demonstrate its commitment to building a winning one.
Declining attendance and fan enthusiasm should be a wake-up call, not an excuse to question fan loyalty.
Why is UTEP administration so quick to defend the status quo rather than explain its plan for improvement?
Nobody questions Scotty Walden's work ethic or the dedication of our student-athletes. But hard work isn't a strategy, and patience isn't progress.
Instead of repeatedly asking fans to "trust the process," give us five things:
A roadmap: Measurable goals for the next 12–24 months.
Accountability: An honest evaluation of what's failing and how it will be fixed.
Recruiting strategy: A clear plan for competing in the NIL and transfer portal era.
Financial transparency: Where does UTEP stand against its peers, and what's needed to compete?
Progress reports: Regular updates showing results, setbacks, and adjustments.
The Mike Price era proved El Paso will show up when it believes in the program.
Dwindling attendance is a confidence problem.
Our student-athletes deserve support, but they also deserve leadership committed to delivering results.
Stop asking El Paso to blindly trust the process. Show us the plan, measure the progress, and give fans a reason to believe again.
"You gotta believe" remember that one? What happened to the EPMAD- and Senter having fan round tables?
UTEP Athletic Director Jim Senter joined us on SportsTalk today...
Here are some takeaways/quotes from his thoughts on UTEP football @stevekaplowitz
"Scotty Walden is working as hard as he can. Our job is support this coaching staff. Nobody is harder on Scotty Walden than Scotty Walden. You just don't quit on people. It's really easy for us to be critical... The good people bear down and find out how to get out of the rut. We're going to back them and support them."
Cited the difficulty of the schedule for UTEP football in non-conference play:
"When we get in Mountain West play, we expect to play a lot more competitive. (New Mexico) put it to us. Maybe we're still smarting from that."
"We will do everything to support Scotty Walden, our coaches and our student-athletes. Nobody has more vested interested in winning than (student-athletes)."
"My heart breaks for them when it's not going well. I do see the behind the scenes that they are putting in. Come out here and support these (student athletes) as if they were your kids. These student athletes need this more than everything right now because it's honorable for them to be in the game."
"They want to make El Paso proud of them and what they do."
"When fans are there, it makes a difference with recruiting."
Welp! 🤦🏽♂️

This right here! When will the media in EP start asking the tough questions? When do we stop saying “ it takes time” bs! you want our support but don’t care to listen to the fans @stevekaplowitz @AdrianBroaddus @600espnelpaso @UTEPAthletics @CoachSWUTEP @JimSenter2 #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…
Watching from home tonight… These cameras are catching a lot of fighting or shouting from coaches to players…. What are you all seeing in person? Hear a lot of boos….

Tired of the the used car salesman talk from this guy. Hope he makes me eat my words, but yea….
UTEP head coach Scotty Walden gives opening comments during his weekly presser after the New Mexico loss (61-7).
"The game last Saturday was the event. We didn't play good on any side of the ball. The response is all about what we do this week."
"You don't lower standards when adversity strikes. The standard rises."

Like all UTEP fans have said, it was a fun first half today against Michigan. Still hard to believe the Miners led on two occasions and scored a pair of touchdowns on two Michigan turnovers. The second half was exactly what we expected.
