Texas Tech reportedly has hired North Texas defensive line coach Kevin Patrick, a former standout player at the University of Miami in the early 1990s.
The Palm Beach (Florida) Post reported the move.
Patrick spent the last two seasons at North Texas, whose staff broke up with the firing Dan McCarney. Patrick was a holdover on the staff of newly hired North Texas head coach Seth Littrell, but he would fill one of three remaining openings on Kliff Kingsbury’s Tech staff.
Tech has been looking for a defensive line coach since Mike Smith was one of three assistants let go at the end of the 2015 regular season.
