Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire couldn’t resist taking an unprovoked and likely premeditated jab at Notre Dame’s independence this week. In doing so, he revealed just how narrow his perspective of the football world is and how little he actually understands about Notre Dame’s historic stance on independence and it’s yearly strength of schedule.
Following the Red Raiders’ win over BYU, McGuire praised the Cougars for joining the Big 12 before tossing a not so thinly veiled shot at the Irish:
“I have so much respect for BYU. … I was really excited whenever they joined the Big 12 because I think that they carry a lot of weight and a lot of respect.
