Reports: Former Texas DC Todd Orlando expected to land at Texas Tech

The Texas Longhorns will likely see some familiar faces next season when the Horns travel to Lubbock to face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, as multiple reports on Wednesday indicated that former Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando is expected to reunite with Texas Tech head coach Matt Wells.

FootballScoop.com believes that Orlando will serve as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Keith Patterson, a move that makes sense since Orlando served as the defensive coordinator for Wells in 2013 and 2014 at Utah State. However, other subsequent reporting defined Orlando’s role as the assistant head coach rather than co-defensive coordinator.
