head coach

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Florida Atlantic has withdrawn Carl Pelini's resignation as football coach, and has fired him instead.

The reception area of the Larry K. Durham Center was filled with the faithful -- UTEP boosters and a number of ex-players -- all ready to welcome back one of their own to lead the Miners' football program. Sean Kugler was re-introduced to El Paso and took virtually no time to express his love for the university and the community.

Overcome by emotion as he talked about his friendship with the man who likely forced him out of the job he loved, Director of Athletics Bob Stull, UTEP head coach Mike Price announced his retirement, effective as of the final whistle of the Miners' final game this Saturday against the Rice Owls.

UTEP head football coach Mike Price will stay head football coach for at least one more season, according to Miners' Director of Athletics, Bob Stull.

UTEP head coach Tim Floyd, and Miners Julyan Stone and Gabe McCulley talk about UTEP's 75-65 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd.
