Texas Tech football: Matt Wells loses second assistant a week

When Matt Wells was hired as Texas Tech football head coach, he talked often about the need for him to recruit the players already on his roster. It now appears as if he may have to start recruiting the assistant coaches in his program as well. Thursday, Wells lost his second assistant coach this month to another program when special teams coordinator Joe Lorig jumped ship for Penn State.

This news comes just days after Tech lost wide receivers coach Jovon Bouknight to Oregon. Lorig replaces Phil Galiano in Happy Valley after spending just weeks on the job in Lubbock.
