There’s no denying that new Texas Tech football head coach Matt Wells was not the popular choice to replace Kliff Kingsbury. Whether or not he was aware of that fact, we will never know but in his first public appearance since being hired, he spent a significant portion of his time trying to appeal to the fans and the community.
In the type of hybrid press conference / pep rally that we have become accustomed to at Texas Tech, Wells discussed his vision for the program, his background and his coaching philosophy. But throughout, he continued to circle back to the merits of West Texas.
