The Texas Tech football program has been a major topic of discussion during the offseason.

“We have a lot of stuff banked because there was a lot of universities in our conference, whether it be their AD or their president, or it was one coach that had a lot to say about the Sorsby situation. I always look for buttons to push. These buttons are going to be a lot easier to push because I can find a lot of comments from a lot of different people,” McGuire said on SiriusXM . “It was directed at us, and I totally understand because he was part of us. He’s still part of us. He was at our scrimmage, our first scrimmage. He’s been out here twice since we started camp, and he’s still a part of this family, and he always will be.”
“But, there was a lot of people, a lot of things that were directed, I would say, at the university and at this team, and man, we’re gonna use it.”
Texas Tech’s 2025 season
Texas Tech won 12 games and the Big 12 title last year before losing to Oregon in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. McGuire has done a heck of a job with the program since taking over before the 2022 season, compiling a 35-18 overall record.
