Texas Tech football: Best debut seasons by a Red Raider head coach

The 2019 season is starting to appear on the horizon and with each passing day, we begin to ponder more and more what the debut of new Texas Tech football head coach Matt Wells will bring. Certainly, this is a critical time for the program as Red Raider football finds itself in the unusual position of trying to fight for attention and relevance in West Texas where basketball and baseball have risen to the top of the athletic department’s hierarchy (at least in terms of fan interest and overall success).

Wells arrives with a career head coaching record of 44-34 in six seasons, all with his alma mater Utah State.
