While the SEC is focussed on a key few coaches on the hot seat (looking at you Butch Jones), the first FBS head coaching domino has fallen.
UTEP head coach Sean Kugler has stepped down from his job, it was announced Sunday.
UTEP is off to a forgetful 0-5 start, and Saturday, the Miners lost to Army 35-21.
The news, along with statements, were announced via Twitter by Andy Morgan.

The school is already looking for a new athletics director, as Bob Stull is set to retire, and this means whoever the new AD will be will make his first big hire for football and have his guy immediately.
Former Florida OC Brent Pease was already fired from the UTEP OC job earlier this season.
Saturday Down South is a leading destination for college sports discussion and news.
