More Than a Dozen Offensive Coordinator Candidates for Texas Tech With David Yost officially out at Texas Tech, the search for a new offensive coordinator is officially underway. Head coach Matt Wells will speak to the media about his plan on signing day, Wednesday, December 16th, but for now, all fans have to go on is Texas Tech Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt saying he wants to get back to the aggressive, throw-it-down-the-field offense that Texas Tech is known for. There are obviously some names that jump right off the page and will get to those, but I want to dispel one before we start the list: Art Briles. There's a less than zero percent chance that Wells would make the decision to bring Briles onto the Texas Tech coaching staff as the offensive coordinator. Leave his baggage at the door; Wells wouldn't invite the clown show that the scenario would create into his program.
