"Assessing UTEP Football's Coaching Job Prospects and Candidates Post-Dimel Firing"

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is in search of a new head football coach after firing Dana Dimel following a 3-9 season. The UTEP job is historically challenging, with limited success in recent years and outdated facilities. However, coaches have been given time to turn the program around. The location of El Paso makes recruiting difficult, as it is far from major recruiting hotspots. Despite these challenges, the recent success of nearby New Mexico State offers hope. Potential candidates for the UTEP coaching job include Jeff Grimes, Van Malone, Mack Leftwich, Jason Eck, Tremaine Jackson, Kris McCullough, Gary Patterson, Kasey Dunn, Scotty Walden, Zach Kittley, Matt Wells, Kenny Perry, Emmett Jones, and Ra'Shaad Samples.

UTEP terminates head coach Dana Dimel after 6 seasons

UTEP has fired football coach Dana Dimel after six seasons with the team. Dimel had a record of 20-49 with the Miners and led them to a New Mexico Bowl appearance in 2021. However, the team's performance this season, going 3-9 overall and 2-6 in Conference USA play, led to the decision for a change in leadership. Athletic director Jim Senter praised Dimel's work but stated that the program needed a new direction to compete for championships. Dimel, who previously coached at Wyoming and Houston, finishes his tenure at UTEP with a 50-88 overall record as an FBS head coach.
