Kansas State offensive coordinator Dana Dimel has been named the head coach at UTEP, the school announced Wednesday.
Dimel has spent the past nine seasons on Bill Snyder's staff at his alma mater and previously served as the head coach at Houston (2000-02) and Wyoming (1997-99). He went 22-13 at Wyoming but just 8-26 at Houston.
"We will work diligently to elevate UTEP football to the highest level in Conference USA," Dimel said in a statement. "Having been a part of a major turnaround at Kansas State and having the success we did at Wyoming, I'm just really excited about the leadership challenge that's ahead.
