The Mike Price era was reborn Wednesday morning, as the new interim head coach conducted his first practice.
Price took over Monday after former UTEP football coach Sean Kugler announced his resignation at the start of this week. He had a meeting with the team Tuesday afternoon and went to work at practice early Wednesday morning.
Price is 177-183 all-time as a head coach and came back to the gridiron after being the UTEP head coach from 2004-12.
Instead of taking a hands-on approach, as he said he wouldn’t do, Price roamed both sides of the ball during practice and took notes while the teams prepared for Western Kentucky Saturday.
“Here’s the situation, we have really good guys who try hard and work hard. The problem is the product isn’t good,” Price said. “Don’t know why that is. If I find out, we can win some games. It’ll take me some time. Hopefully find the key and open it up.”
As the practice unfolded, Price did little to mix up the pot and didn’t want to interject what the players and coaches were used to.
