Though the attitude towards him among Red Raider fans is split, it is hard for anyone to argue that Texas Tech football head coach Matt Wells is anything but charming and inspirational when he speaks. That was evident from the moment he began talking to the media after being hired in 2018 and it was again proven on Friday when he appeared on the Matt Mosley Show (which airs daily on 1660 AM and 92.3 FM in Waco).
Listening to Wells during this interview, I began to wonder if this global pandemic has been more of a detriment to Tech on the recruiting trail given his ability to win people over with his interpersonal skills or whether it has actually been a factor that has oddly been somewhat beneficial to the program’s recruiting efforts because it has taken other factors like facilities and geography down a few pegs while placing a higher emphasis on relationships, which Wells seemed to be skilled at creating.
