Brad Rock: Losing Matt Wells says good things about Utah State

Eli Lucero, The Herald Journal

SALT LAKE CITY — News last week that Matt Wells had been named coach at Texas Tech was met by a stifled yawn in Logan. That’s not because he was unwanted or unloved. He was there six years. The only Aggie coaches to stay longer were Bruce Snyder, Clayton T. Teetzel (seven years each) and Dick Romney (30 years), who had a stadium named after him.

Wells went from a school that rated 85th nationally in athletic revenue to one that rates 43rd, according to USA Today. A Forbes comparison of football-only revenue ranks Texas Tech 25th nationally.
