Texas Tech just finished it’s third straight losing season which means they are not bowl eligible. After losing to pathetic Baylor 35-24, the program is going to make changes. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is going to get the boot. He has been fired. The program has not confirmed the rumor at this time but it seems like a foregone conclusion.
“SAN ANTONIO — According to KENS 5 Sports Director Joe Reinagel, New Braunfels High School product Kliff Kingsbury is no longer the head coach at Texas Tech.”

Kingsbury, 39, spent the past 6 years as the head coach of Texas Tech. His record of 35-40 is pretty underwhelming, to say the least. He’s never won 7 games in a year and no more than 4 in Conference play. I’m not sure the record tells the full story. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t had an impact on the program.
Kliff Kingsbury has been a quarterback whisperer. He was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M with Johnny Manziel. He also responsible for recruiting Baker Mayfield, Davis Webb, and Patrick Mahomes during his tenure with Tech. The former Mike Leach disciple can certainly coach. Obviously, Kingsbury has underachieved this year but the offense really hasn’t been the issue. He’s gotten excellent quarterback play.
