Yeah I definitely feel like everyone (general public, media, administration) may have overreacted a bit with Kingsbury. Yes, he had a nice run to start his career, but his record since is very below average. He certainly could turn it around though, we will see.
As of now it looks like Texas Tech may have pulled the trigger a little too quickly with an extension.

He can do it but you have to view him via black and white photo if you don't want to suffer spontaneous combustion from his dreamy gaze.

I think he would be an "ok" qb coach/OC but nothing more than that.

After one season? No you don't. And in his "great" first season they lost 5 out of last 6 games and had the exact same record they had in Tuberville's last season.

Exactly. 7-0 to start, 0-5 finish, win the bowl game......"We gotta lock this guy down!!!! Immediately!!!!"

But Tech had 611 yards and 59 points. Pretty much the script for a big 12 team.

If he comes to the Nam and does a miracle or wins a shootout with Baylor or OU people will consider him a genius.
He's just like that whole ex Coog High crew all offense no defense.

Dunno about that going into the future. I think hiring David Gibbs as the DC will lead to positive results once he has a full season there. It won't be a D that shuts teams down but I do think they will eventually become very good at causing turnovers.

That contract included a hefty buyout that would’ve given Kingsbury $7.3 million at this time if Texas Tech had fired him without cause. If Texas Tech fires Kingsbury without cause, he’s owed 100 percent of his guaranteed money for 2014-16, 75 percent of his guaranteed money for 2017-18 and 50 percent of his guaranteed money for 2019-20.

If they can get turnovers like oSu did in 11 then they'd be fine. But it seems they've adopted the Coog High plan score 70 hope we only give up 50

He may make a good coach, jury is still out but giving up on Mayfield was a mistake imo
Posted on 9/6/15 at 11:03 pm to Agforlife
Had Mayfield, Webb and Brewer all there and picked Webb. Looks like a dumb move now that he;s the backup.
KK doesn't recruit for shite on D and it shows.

I don't get this thread. The guy is pretty much what you want from a coach. It's not like Texas Tech is supposed to be winning national titles or anything. He puts out an exciting product, gets tons of pub for being a handsome guy, is homegrown and loyal to the program. What more do you want? I haven't heard anything negative about him or the program he's headed until this thread. All this after a game that his team won by two tds, after they were winning by 28.. seems premature..

He's actually winning less than Tuberville did.

Why is this a plus for you?

Only by one game so far though
It's tough to say what kind of mess Tubs left him. Was he even trying his best to recruit well or did he sour on working at Tech so fast that he just didn't GAF anymore? The fact that he up and left in the middle of a recruiting dinner for Cincy w/o even letting anyone know he wasn't coming back seems to indicate he couldn't wait to get out of there and couldn't possibly have had his heart in it.

Tuberville quit. He wasn't happy there and wanted to go to another place. Why would that factor in to judging the current coach. Also, being a head coach isn't just about winning games. It's also about putting out a positive vibe for alumni and running a respectable program and many other things. Kingsbury is 25 years younger than Tuberville. He's not going to be as good. But he loyal, smart and brings a certain cache, that makes him a nice asset for the program. I get that you don't think some of that matters. Ask the TT athletic department that is now selling more tickets than ever if it does though. I'm sure they think it does..

Because he's not doing any better. Certainly not worth a $3 million and escalating contract.

Being a good one is.

We have no way of knowing he's loyal since his loyalty hasn't been tested. Not saying he's not but there's no way to know one way or the other. As for being "smart", if you say so.

Style over substance then.

Middle of year 3 is usually when that stops working.
