Baylor assistant coach Joey McGuire will become the next head coach at Texas Tech, according to Carlos Silva Jr. and Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
McGuire has been with Baylor for the past five seasons and has held associate head coach and outside linebackers coach titles under head coach Dave Aranda.
Prior to joining the college ranks, McGuire was a successful high school football coach in Texas. He led Cedar Hill High School to three state championships in 14 seasons, including back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014, amassing a 141-42 record.
He replaces Matt Wells, who Texas Tech fired on Oct.
