Texas Tech's linebackers coach!!!
Texas Tech has a new assistant head coach and linebackers coach: Todd Orlando.
Orlando was Matt Wells' defensive coordinator from 2013-14 at Utah State. Before Texas Tech faced Texas in the 2019 season finale, Wells said he and Orlando were still "very good friends" and that it was "no secret,"
Under Orlando, Utah State's defense allowed under 20 points per game in two seasons where the Aggies won their division in both seasons.
The Dallas Morning News' Chuck Carlton recently wrote about Orlando's firing, saying:
Orlando was sacrificed by coach Tom Herman because Texas ranked 108th in total defense, 97th in pass efficiency defense and 86th in sacks and led the known universe in missed tackles.
Yes, injuries played a factor, with the secondary decimated midway through the season.
Yes, Texas became less porous when it became healthier, allowing an average of 407.8 yards and 23.8 points in its final four games.
