In a recently released ranking of all 130 college football head coaches, Texas Tech football fans have to scroll farther down the list than any other fan base in the Big 12 to find their head coach. First year Red Raider head coach Matt Wells checks in at No. 76 on the list, 23 spots higher than he was ranked on last year’s list but behind every other Big 12 coach.
Not surprisingly, Alabama’s Nick Saban comes in at No. 1 with Clemson’s Dabo Swinney at No. 2. Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M, Kirby Smart of Georgia and Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma round out the top-5.
