Honestly, I don’t know much at all about McGuire, other than he’s on Dave Aranda’s staff at Baylor, and they’re having a hell of a season.
Apparently, the Red Raiders see something in him that they want to make him the next coach of the Red Raiders.
Jeff Traylor signing an extension didn’t change a thing…why? Because the guy I think should be Tech’s next football coach is still available.
Joey McGuire is a program builder, Texas HS coaches love him, he believes in Texas Tech and would get this thing turned around #WreckEm pic.twitter.com/ZOGeodiqZN

What I do know for sure is that Texas Tech is in too good of a situation to be a bad team. Texas is loaded with great football recruits, and there’s simply no excuse for their team to not be competitive.
Even in the watered down Big 12 that is coming, Texas Tech should always be competitive given its location.
Sources: Baylor assistant coach Joey McGuire will be announced as the next coach at Texas Tech later today. His Texas ties and ability to recruit the state stood out to the Tech brass. Lubbock Avalanche Journal reported first.

Joey McGuire is still in Waco and preparing to take the Texas Tech job later today. Worth noting that Baylor plays Tech in three weeks and there’s significant recruiting overlap between the schools. McGuire expected to start immediately w/an eye toward early Signing Day.

I guess we’ll have to see whether or not McGuire can be the guy to get the job done, but fans are desperate for someone to lead them and find some winning ways.
