re: What in the hell is Texas Tech thinking with this new hire?

You say firing him for 5-3 but that’s without context. The team was struggling mightily, and people have wanted Wells gone since last year he was never a good fit. That 5-3 record is very misleading there were numerous problems.

Your point about Kingsbury is dumb seeing he was never a good recruiter, and wasn’t the right fit for a college job.

Yes numerous high schools in the state are raving about this hire. Numerous high schools in the state, the Texas High School Coaches Association, as well as coaches around the state have tweeted about it, and are raving about it.

Stop spewing shite out of your arse, you have no idea what you’re talking about and I guarantee I know more about this stuff than you do. Hit me again with another one of your arguments bro. Your last post makes me know that your opinion on this matter doesn’t mean Jack shite. Thanks for your time.

you don't break through to the other side at Texas Tech based on some coup d'etat in recruiting

you do it through x's and o's

name a Texas Tech coach who's done something because of recruiting

Matt Wells and Kliff Kinsbury just proved your "Xs and Os" theory wrong.

The only elite year they ever had was b/c Leach got a 4-star Qb (Harrell) and 4-star WR (Crabtree)

You seem to think TTU thinks it can out-talent the Big12. It cannot in it's current formation, but may be able to once UT/OU leaves. Regardless, the plan is to out-recruit what they have been doing post-Leach, which is achievable with their current hire.

I knew I was dealing with the no accountability 400K post guy as soon as it took me 3 seconds to realize you had typed up nothing but some words with no logic tied to them

No

That's exactly the opposite of what I said


As usual though, you got a post out of it and you'll be hitting half a billion nonsensical posts in about seven more months

you'll be a legend

You’re making yourself look worse and worse dude. Your opinion on this matter clearly means jack squat. If you want to dog some other programs hire, know what you’re talking about first dude that’s all I’m saying. You telling me that coaches in the state aren’t raving about this hire tells me everything I need to know. That statement is literally false. So stop spewing shite out of your arse.

well, the OP has 30 upvotes and 0 downvotes, so I guess making myself look bad is something I'll learn to live with


you should run on over to the OP and downvote me real fast

You care about upvotes and downvotes on a online Internet forum?

my actual favorite OP's are when I've got 200 downvotes

but you're the one who said I was making myself look bad, so the nearest proof to the opposite was that massive upvote thing at the OP

chicken is a smart man to put that there

I hope you and Texas Tech will be happy together


I'm going to take a vacation in January, and I'm not sure where yet, but Lubbock is not on the list

Arguably the most successful HC in TTU history is Miss. St.'s current HC. He did not play football in college. In fact, the first thing he did upon graduating college was enter law school to earn a JD. After law school he coached at tiny schools and even for a football team in Finland!!! He eventually began working with Hal Mumme and worked his way up the coaching ladder with Mumme. He was the OC at Kentucky and for one year at Oklahoma before getting the TTU job. I would say that is a bit of a non-traditional route to the HC job. The second most successful HC there was Spike Dykes...who also cam from a Texas HS football background.

McGuire was a successful HC coach in TX for several years before landing on a college staff. Clearly he was brought into help recruiting more than anything else. Apparently he was respected enough in that dept. to be retained by Aranda.

Since Leach was fired after the 2009 season TTU has been searching for over 10 years to regain some level of that consistency...under three different HCs. They haven't. It's not a glamor job, so it may take a bit of thinking outside of the box for them to have success. What do they have to lose if it doesn't work?
