Texas Tech, Baylor's Joey McGuire Reportedly Agree to Contract to Be New Football HC

Texas Tech didn't wait long to decide on its next head football coach, reportedly hiring Baylor assistant Joey McGuire, according to Don Williams and Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports also reported the news, noting McGuire's local ties in Texas helped him stand out in the interview process.

The move comes two weeks after Matt Wells was fired as the team's head coach after a 5-3 start to the 2021 season. Sonny Cumbie has served as the interim head coach.
