Texas Tech Red Raiders Win Big with Joey McGuire's Coaching

Texas Tech Red Raiders are gearing up for the football season, with head coach Joey McGuire leading the charge. McGuire has a 35-18 record in four seasons, including a 2-2 bowl record and one trip to the College Football Playoff. According to Brett McMurphy, McGuire ranks third among Big 12 head coaches, behind BYU's Kalani Sitake and Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham. McGuire's winning conference record in each of the last four years is a notable achievement. The Red Raiders are coming off a school-record 12 victories and their first College Football Playoff appearance. Joey McGuire should be higher than third on this list, considering his impressive record. And with 20 games won in the past two seasons, the most since Mike Leach did so 17 years ago, McGuire has proven himself as a top coach. The Red Raiders have a good opportunity to repeat as Big 12 champions and potentially get back into the mix for a spot in the College Football Playoff. McGuire's coaching will be crucial in achieving this goal. So far, he's shown he's capable of coaching at a high level. The Red Raiders get more bites at the apple, and don't be surprised to see McGuire continue to be considered among the top in the sport. With just over 70 days until college football returns, the focus is on the product on the field. The Brendan Sorsby saga has mostly been taken care of, and now it's time to talk about the football season. McGuire's ranking is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the team. But what's important now is the upcoming season and how the Red Raiders will perform. The team has a lot of potential, and with McGuire at the helm, they could go far. The College Football Playoff is a realistic goal, and the Red Raiders are ready to give it their all.
