The putrid current state of the Texas Tech football has dredged up unpleasant reminders of the program’s only other era of similar futility in the last fifty years. Missing out on a bowl game for the third time in four years and stumbling through four-straight losing seasons, Red Raider football is at its lowest place since 1979-1984 when people in West Texas had to endure seven-straight losing seasons.
The man in charge for the final five of those seasons was Jerry Moore, who is widely regarded as the worst coach in program history. With an overall record of just 16-37-2 in five seasons, he has the worst winning percentage of any coach to ever lead the Red Raiders for more than one season and he’s one of only five men to ever have a losing record during his time as head coach in Lubbock.
