? If 11 AP FCS Players Came With Walden?

[kyyote]

Did Dimel have sub-FCS players on the roster who fcs players were better than?  Why?  Our new qb was playing at the fcs level. Did we not have any a better than that?  Really. Don?t get me wrong, I am not questioning this kid?s ability but I am questioning Dimel?s team. A team built around o lines for twelve years left Walden not a single starting o lineman. Dimel. A team that can be replaced by fcs players?  A team with not a single qb on the roster able to outplay the fcs kid?  Two o line coaches spent 12 years building o lines and when Walden comes in it is to a team with no o line?  How in the fuck does UTEP manage this shit. I have a need for someone from inside to explain how UTEP football can even manage to be as bad as we seem to always find a way to be. It?s like we are trying to do something other than what we are supposed to be doing. I mean if we were trying, all this considered we should win our share. But our share doesn?t exist. And it for forty years has been ok. We used to blame it on Lady Di being just about teaching the locals. But that shit is old. AFA would not have tolerated UTEP results when she was there. Why does she or powers that be allow it here. Senter. What are your thoughts about the start of the new coach. Too soon?  How many of us think it is too soon to tell?

I didn't watch or listen.  I don't know how much of the OL is Dimel's and how much CSW?  IDK if coach even evaluated Dimel players.  I think he thought a) get rid of players with a losing mentality, and b) better to have FCS players that know the system than FBS players learning the system.  Thougth being that was best option until his #1 recruiting class was the starters and winning?  Obviosly not working out for him but may not have been unreasonable.

I've been giving it some thought and I think success all comes down to NIL  I think tell all the boosters to donate like crazy to NIL for football only to bring in 3 star line and 4 star position players.  Win games, win bowls, and the program will make its own money.

I still like my idea of going to UT and telling them we 100% commit to running their O and D schemes if they will tell their donors to give our NIL enough to be a farm team.

An Army runs on it's stomach...we are told. A football team is run by the QB which is a fact. This kid will not cut it in FBS. He is not good at all and makes stupid mistakes. I thought he had good legs but he doesn't, he's as slow as our previous QB and that's saying a lot. I would have sat his little behind after the first half. It's not like we were expected to win anyway. I have ZERO confidence in the coach and I think he's out of his league.
