Good, let them keep recycling coaches. Just sets them back.
Texas Tech fires FB Coach Matt Wells
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Nothing says program stability like **** canning your coach 2.5 years in to the job. I mean, Kansas has been doing it for 15 years and look how great it's worked out for them.
Sounds like from things I’ve read that players hated Wells and he hated being in Lubbock
Thought it was a little crazy at first but the more I think about it the more sense it makes. You look at their schedule and 5-3 is a bit misleading. Beat some pretty bad non-conference teams. Got 70 hung on them by Texas. I do think there's some merit to the idea if you know it's not working cut bait and start working towards a solution.
Mike Leach goes 84-43 over 10 years at Texas freaking Tech and you fire him for being mean to Craig James kid.
You get every bit of what you deserve with what happens after that.

I’m just glad it’s a week before our game because it seems like the coach fired team always plays great the next week

Yep, the surprising thing about the timing is that it wasn’t the week of the Iowa State game, so the players come out with their hair on fire and play a crazy game to win for their new coach. Hasn’t that happened to ISU a couple of times? I know Colorado was one.
Texas. Just being in the state.
The prior Texas Tech coach (who was fired), Kliff Kingsbury (2013-2018), coaches the Arizona Cardinals. I don't follow the NFL that closely, but I see that they are currently 7-0.
It's gated, but it is such a good article I am going to link it. The Wall Street Journal had a really good feature article this last Friday (Oct. 22, print edition) on their QB Kyler Murray:

The article raises issues that are brought up on this board, it seems to me, about Purdy -- whether or how much he might be allowed to do his own thing.

Kyler Murray and the NFL’s Era of Schoolyard Football
The Arizona Cardinals star is part of a generation of quarterbacks who have never been told they have to play like a traditional pocket passer—and it’s the root of a changing game.

Don’t we want him to be Iowa’s next coach after Kirk hangs it up?
Texas Tech is going to be a cellar team in the Big 12 moving forward.
No respected coach will consider that job because there's a possibility they will be canned with a 5-3 record.
Their recruiting classes for the past three years are dog meat. On top of all the current big 12 schools and A&M, they have to add Houston to the mix of P5 to compete against for recruits. Cupboard is bare.
I expect a 200 yard performance out of Breece

They should have never sent The Pirate away. I also would have gave their home boy Kliff a little while longer. He was too young and raw when he took over and needed time to figure it out.
I'm not sure what I'd do to turn their program around. They have the potential to fall off the map the same way we've been talking about KState.

Really can’t fault Tech for firing Kliff though. He was terrible there and tech gave him plenty of time.
Tech would be smart to bring in Traylor from UTSA. The guy has very strong connections with the THSCA, and has done a great job of finding the overlooked guys that aren't from the big metros in Texas to come to UTSA.
