Texas Tech AD: Kliff Kingsbury Will Be Back In 2018

 
After​ ​a​ ​season​ ​that​ ​would​ ​cost​ ​a​ ​majority​ ​of​ ​Head​ ​Coach’s​ ​their​ ​job,​ ​Kliff​ ​Kingsbury will​ ​remain​ ​at​ ​the​ ​helm​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Texas​ ​Tech​ ​Red​ ​Raiders, per athletic directory Kirby Hocutt.

Texas Tech athletic director said Kliff Kingsbury will be back next year. #Wreckem

The​ ​Red​ ​Raiders​ ​are​ ​coming​ ​of​ ​a​ ​27-23​ ​victory​ ​on​ ​the​ ​road​ ​against​ ​the​ ​Texas​ ​Longhorns on Friday night to cap off a tumultous regular season that included three blown to Kansas State, West Virginia and Oklahoma State.​ ​The​ ​Red​ ​Raiders​ ​have​ ​struggled​ ​to​ ​show​ ​progress​ ​under​ ​Kingsbury’s​ ​tenure and​ ​that​ ​could​ ​be​ ​due​ ​to​ ​lackluster​ ​defensive​ ​play.

The​ ​former​ ​Texas​ ​Tech​ ​gunslinger​ ​started​ ​8-5​ ​during​ ​his​ ​first​ ​season​ ​of​ ​coaching​ ​at​ ​his​ ​alma honor,​ ​but​ ​has​ ​gone​ ​16-21​ ​since​ ​that​ ​season.​ ​The​ ​one​ ​key​ ​thing​ ​that​ ​Kingsbury​ ​has​ ​on​ ​his​ ​side is​ ​support​ ​from​ ​his​ ​Athletic​ ​Director.​

Texas​ ​Tech​ ​is​ ​currently​ ​6-6​ ​on​ ​the​ ​season,​ ​but​ ​they​ ​have​ ​the​ ​advantage​ ​of​ ​knowing​ ​their​ ​coach will​ ​remain​ ​entering​ ​the​ ​off​ ​season​ ​and​ ​if​ ​they​ ​can​ ​secure​ ​a​ ​bowl​ ​victory,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​go​ ​a​ ​long​ ​way during​ ​the​ ​recruiting​ ​process.​ The Red Raiders will find out their postseason fate next week.
