College football fans have come to believe in the notion that there will be a significant recruiting bump shortly after hiring a new head coach. And certainly, there have been a number of coaches that have been able to turn a program’s recruiting around almost as soon as they stepped on campus but Texas Tech football fans are still waiting for such an occurrence to happen for their program in the first year of the Matt Wells era.
The theory is that new coaches are able to use the buzz and momentum generated by their hiring to improve their program’s recruiting.
