University of Texas at Arlington alumnus and Texas High School Football Hall of Famer Joey McGuire is living his American Dream as Texas Tech University’s Head Football Coach.
The 17th head coach in program history, McGuire was named to the position on Nov. 8, 2021, by Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt. Since then, McGuire became only the second head coach in program history to lead the Red Raiders to a bowl appearance in each of his first three seasons, all while winning more conference games (16) than any other coach during that span.
“The American Dream to me is having something that you wake up to every day and that you're passionate about can make an impact on people's lives, in a positive way,” he said.
