Spencer "Lefty" Leftwich

[Harry]

Our former OL coach is now doing the same for UTEP. Just joined as part of Kugler's staff. His son is a redshirt freshman QB for UTEP.

It seems like Spencer bailed on us during the Dodge era for greener pastures. Looks like the tables may have turned a bit.

Always liked the guy and wish him well - other than this week of course.

Lefty is a guy guy. Great voice. We better stomp his oline to pieces.

Spencer is a top notch coach and person. If he just got to UTEP I don't know how much he can help them this year, but we can expect to see a much improve O line in the coming years.

yeah, one of the good ones that got away from us.

I thought he's been there since the summer?

Lefty is a very good OL coach. He left the first time because Steve Kragthorpe took over in Tulsa and the worked together here under Simon. When he came back and left again, under Dodge, it was because he knew that Dodge's tenure was about to be over and he headed back up to Tulsa again. Lefty knew he'd be out of work if he stuck around, so he cut bait and headed north. He did what any coach would've done under Dodge's watch--leave if offered any chance to get out of town to another FBS opening.

If Canales didn't have experience with Coach Mac and hadn't had a nice run as the interim coach after Dodge left, he would have been fired, too.

He was hired by UTEP 1/09/13. So yes he has been there but this is his first season. I know he has a lot of friends in Denton so it should be a fun trip for him and his family.
