My favorite professor from my days at Tech, Dr. Carl Anderson, used to always teach us that “inconsistency is a crazy-maker” in any aspect of life. Certainly, that pearl of wisdom applies to the current state of the Texas Tech football program, which continues to suffer the after-effects of three head coaching changes in the last decade.
More than anything that happened on the Jones Stadium turf in the last 10 years, the carousel in the head coach’s office has defined Red Raider football in the 2010s. With three vastly different characters in charge, this is just the third decade that Tech has had a trio of men to lead the program and that’s no way to build success, especially given that each was so vastly different in personality and football philosophy.
