Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!

This is a great day to be a Miner fan!!!

I was so proud of the work and effort that Coach Floyd put in at USC. There is no doubt in my mind that he will do wonderful things at UTEP.

I know Stull deserves kudos as well as administration, but I believe the boosters brought this one home. Awesome day to be a Miner fan especially with the way the season ended. How quickly Miner fans forget about Barbee. Happy about hire but Floyd has work to do with current players and incoming recruits. Hope Dickey sticks around but could go to UH if his brother(James) gets job.

Yes!

Great news for the UTEP Miners. This hire puts the program firmly in the spotlight again and mostly for good reasons. Floyd has some negative baggage but overall this is an excellent move for the program, University, and El Paso.

I am curious to see how the remaining team and recruits respond to this news and if Floyd has any new recruits in mind for next year.

It’s a good day to be a Miner.
