Kliff Kingsbury's head coaching career could not have gotten off to a better start. The Red Raiders ran off seven straight wins and after a close loss to Oklahoma, Kingsbury was the hottest thing in college football, the coaching fraternity's first bona fide sex symbol. Then the wheels fell off. Although Texas Tech did bounce back with a nice win over Arizona State in the 2013 Holiday Bowl, the sophomore slump had begun, and things would get downright ugly in 2014. A bad loss to Arkansas in Week 3 began a precipitous slide towards the bottom of the conference, highlighted by an 82-27 shellacking at the hands of TCU.
