Joey McGuire arrived in Lubbock as the new head football coach of the Red Raiders with one simple goal: to make Texas Tech the hardest working, toughest, most competitive team in the country. The first-year college head coach knows the end results won’t show up right away during his tenure.
McGuire, who won three state championships as the head coach of Cedar Hill High School south of Dallas, watched Matt Rhule go 1-11 in his first year at Baylor. He watched Dave Aranda go 2-7 in his first year in Waco. Both of those coaches played for a Big 12 championship within three seasons. Aranda won the Big 12 Conference in 2021.
