Multiple media outlets have picked up a report by Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal indicating that Utah State Head coach Matt Wells has emerged as the leading candidate to be the next Texas Tech football head coach. Williams, shared that information in a Tweet Wednesday afternoon.
A source connected to Texas Tech tells me that Utah State coach Matt Wells "is the leader right now" to succeed Kliff Kingsbury as coach of the Red Raiders.
This news has sparked quite a bit of reaction from those who are hoping for a more high-profile name.
