THE MINE SHAFT: New UTEP head coach Scotty Walden joins the program

After Dana Dimel was fired at the end of the 2023 season, UTEP hired Scotty Walden from Austin Peay to take over the Miners program. Walden has already hit the ground running, hiring a staff and recruiting new players to UTEP. Walden joined Colin Deaver on The Mine Shaft to discuss the first few weeks of his tenure at UTEP, his journey as a coach, El Paso Mexican food, family and the 2011 Dallas Mavericks. The Mine Shaft is hosted by KTSM 9 News Sports Director Colin Deaver, who has covered UTEP and the Borderland at-large since 2018, and former UTEP kicker Gavin Baechle, the 2022 Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year.
