Thursday night, Matt Wells was officially announced as head coach of the Texas Tech football program. Of all the candidates that were rumored to be up for the job, Red Raider fans know the least about the former Utah State head coach so let’s spend some time getting to know what type of coach he is.
The 45-year-old native of South Carolina played quarterback at Utah State from 1993-1996. He began his coaching career with five years at Navy before spending five seasons at Tulsa as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator and two years at New Mexico in the same capacity.
