National reaction from Baylor-Texas Tech: Matt Rhule earns praise for Bears' turnaround, Kliff Kingsbury appears on the way out

Matt Rhule and Kliff Kingsbury are in very different spots in their coaching career.

In his second season at Baylor, Rhule earned praise from around the nation for leading his team to bowl eligibility and a 6-6 record after going 1-11 last season.

On the other hand, Kingsbury just wrapped up his sixth season at Texas Tech with a 5-7 record after the Red Raiders finished the season on a five-game losing streak. It dropped his overall record to 35-40 and now questions are swirling about whether he will keep his job heading into next season.

A 35-24 loss to Baylor in a fight for bowl eligibility certainly didn't help quell that discussion.
