The coaching carousel has been interesting already. We are seeing a trend of head coaches staying put where they are. Joey McGuire continued that trend signing a 7 year extension to stay at Texas Tech.
Unfortunately, the source material provided appears to be blocked by security measures and doesn’t contain the actual details about McGuire’s contract extension. Without access to the specific terms, financial details, or quotes from the announcement, I cannot provide the comprehensive coverage this story deserves.
Red Raiders Lock Down Their Guy
What we do know is that Texas Tech is betting big on McGuire’s vision for the program. Seven years is serious commitment territory – the kind of deal that says the administration believes they’ve found their long-term answer.
McGuire took over a program that had been spinning its wheels for years. The former Baylor assistant brought energy and recruiting connections that immediately caught attention in Lubbock.
Smart Move in Volatile Times
With coaches jumping ship faster than ever and buyouts reaching astronomical levels, locking up stability makes sense. McGuire gets security. Texas Tech gets protection from poachers.
The timing is curious though. Mid-season extensions usually come after breakthrough moments or when other programs start sniffing around. Either the Red Raiders are getting ahead of potential suitors, or McGuire’s agent played this perfectly.
What’s Next
The real test comes in recruiting and on-field results. Seven-year deals look brilliant when you’re winning. They look catastrophic when you’re not.
For now, Texas Tech has their coach locked up through the next decade. Whether that investment pays off depends on McGuire turning potential into wins in the increasingly competitive Big 12.
