No question. It's got decent natural scenery, what with trees and water and all. It's got a brand new stadium that's barely been used for D-1 football. Plus, you're choosing between a program that ran off a coach for a stupid reason or a program that basically tried to keep their coach for ANY reason. Pretty easy call, IMO.
He should be. The guy can coach offense, and the NFL clearly has decided it's going to have to go all-in on the spread pretty soon, so he's going to have his shot with any number of pro teams if he wants it. If I were him, I'd take a high profile OC job for a head coach that will mentor him and take his time this time around.
So word is Dana Holgorsen did want the job but Kirby Hocutt refused to give him an interview. All of it seems a little surprising but this is what they are saying. Tech AD cutting his own path
It's an interesting choice for him. I would like to know his thought process. The NFL came begging as that Rams-KC game got the whole league thinking about Big 12/spread offenses.
Rumor is that Aaron Rodgers is pushing hard for Green Bay to hire him, but HC is pushing back. If GB hired KK as HC (not a chance), that would open the door for Linc to leave Norman
That might be true. I was surprised he went with USC so quickly, given the current terrain. But, maybe he didnt?
Get fired by Tech will be the best thing to ever happen to KK since he stopped having to take snaps against Texas.
been listening to sports talk radio from Lubbick for last 30-45 min---lot of irate tceh fans in regards to hiring of Matt Wells (apparently a done deal) and not even trying to talk with Holgorsen---they(fans) seem to think that the hire is based upon money (and lack of spending it)--only time will tell if it's a decent hire
The only coup for Tech would be if Wells convinced his old friend Aranda to leave LSU and be his DC. Aranda, however, would have to be careful and not drive through Rusk after leaving Baton Rouge for Lubbock
FWIW, here is some of a coach ranking from TSN -- Sporting News 2018 CFB Coach Ranking 99. Matt Wells, Utah State 73. Seth Littrell, North Texas 64. Matt Rhule, Baylor 63. Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech 59. Neal Brown, Troy 58. Scott Satterfield, Appalachian State 57. Bill Clark, UAB 31. Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia 30. David Cutcliffe, Duke 29. Mike Leach, Washington State
Since 2013, Utah State and Texas Tech have the exact same record vs. teams that finished above .500: 9-33
