As if Texas Tech football fans were not unhappy enough with the possibility of hiring Matt Wells, a new report that has surfaced is certain to anger the masses even further. KMAC sports director David Collier is reporting that West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen was interested in interviewing for the Texas Tech job but was not granted an opportunity to meet with Hocutt.
If this is true, it is unacceptable on Hocutt’s part. By choosing to ignore one of the most qualified and accomplished candidates for this position, Hocutt has done a disservice to Texas Tech by not exploring every option before making the biggest hire of his career and one that will impact the entire athletic department for years to come.
