One of the first things Matt Wells said after he was hired to be Texas Tech’s head coach in 2018 was that he was excited to “get to work on building an elite program that Red Raider fans will enjoy every Saturday.”
After going 4-8 in an otherwise down year for the Big 12 Conference as a whole, it’s reasonable to expect the notoriously impatient Tech fan base to start to get a little bit antsy over athletic director Kirby Hocutt’s most recent hire.
Taking into account the underwhelming recruiting class Wells secured in the first year of his tenure, the departure of a flawed-yet-improving Jett Duffey, and the apparent return of offensive coordinator David Yost - whose play-calling was questionable at best for the majority of the year - and there’s not much reason to believe things will be dramatically better in 2020.
