After a disappointing 5-7 season, most Texas Tech fans were ready to move on from Kliff Kingsbury. Less than 24 hours after the season ending loss to Baylor, the former Tech quarterback was officially fired, with Kirby Hocutt holding a press conference announcing the news. Only four days later Matt Wells was officially announced as head coach of the Red Raiders. In his introductory press conference on December 2nd, Wells described the Texas Tech job as being “a reload, not a rebuild.” Many people will see the 5-7 record and think Wells is being ridiculous in making this statement, however looking at the advanced stats gives an indication that the football team is already in decent shape.
