Texas Tech is bringing back Sonny Cumbie as the new offensive coordinator.

Coming off a second straight four-win season, Texas Tech coach Matt Wells needed to make a splash in replacing the dismissed offensive coordinator David Yost. He didn’t necessarily go with the most obvious pick, but he did bring in someone with ties to the school, as it was announced on Monday that TCU offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie would return to Lubbock to run the Red Raider offense.
