 The results didn't improve, however, as UTEP finished the season under Bailey with five more losses; falling to Air Force by a score of 31–10, Fresno State by a score of 30–10, Colorado State in a shutout 52–0, New Mexico by a score of 35-29 and BYU by a score of 47–16.Despite going 0–5 as UTEP's interim head coach, John Thompson removed the interim tag and named Charlie Bailey the permanent head coach of Miners football in early 1994.Bailey had a background as an aggressive defensive play-caller and had compiled a 12–20–1 record as head coach at Memphis from 1986 to 1988 before NCAA infractions that occurred under his watch came to light, resulting in his dismissal.
