UTEP job is open. Terry made 725k but I don't think this is the jump that Keller would look for.

---

Do you really think he would turn down a $300K/year raise? Would you, Texan?

---

Would you want to raise your kids in El Paso?

I don't think El Paso is much easier than Nac to recruit, so the only real advantage I see is conference prestige, which also isn't a huge improvement. Talent wise I think we beat UTEP the last couple of years. And name recognition I want to say even though UTEP has that amazing history as Texas Western, the average basketball fan today would probably give SFA more respect than UTEP.
A $300k pay raise is nice, but I think it's gonna be a P6 school that eventually makes him break our hearts, not UTEP.
Hell our football team is better than UTEP, and we should have won that game.

UTEP should be called University of Texas Western so that they can still be Texas Western.

As far as mid sized cities go, El Paso isn't bad.

But as someone who lived in Midland and then Barstow for half a year, I can speak from experience when I say I miss the trees.

This past summer I went through El Paso twice. Yeah it's hot, but it was a lot nicer than when I had been there 10 years ago. It absolutely could draw better than Nacogdoches. Nac is small town living. I think that's a good thing, but I could easily see how many people would see El Paso is a huge step up.

Yeah, so I was raised in El Paso...El Paso gets a bad rep. I had an amazing school experience there...lots more opportunities than E Texas and I had friends from all over the world. It truly prepared me for my adult life & profession. Plus, I love the weather & the mountains.

I missed the trees but my asthma was a non issue. And, I grew to love the mountains and weather

True dat. I've flown in and out of El Paso possibly 20 times. Super easy. And scenic.

Man that would be the equivalent of a Sam Houston coach leaving to come to Nac. All those times you participated in the rivalry it was all lies!

Technically both of these statements can be true. Utep want him but he has not official been offered or taken the job. These coaches PR experts

Their agents are PR experts. It's what they do. That's who really floats names for job openings.

Here's a big name in the portal...Texas Tech's Mac McClung...Says he prepping for the draft but entering the portal in the meantime...

The nonathletic garbage man. He cleaned up the trash very well.

Well that's interesting. Kinda figured an ACU grad would hold out for a P5.

Do ACU have 750k ... looks like it's a done deal. Isn't ACUs assistant coach an SFA alum ?

ACU does not have 750k...
