Mike Price plans to figure out Miners’ effectiveness

[Harry]

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.

Poor UTEP.

Bad fit.  Their players don't fit Price's system.

Does Carson Palmer have another much, much, much younger brother maybe?

UTEP board is saying Harrell is the front runner.  I guess that not figure out our HC was OC and very successful.  They think it all do with harrell.

I think that if GH keeps it up, he will probably move on.. to a bigger OC gig, and pass up UTEP knowing the challenges out there.

UTEP job is a tough sell.
