Disclaimer: Our 'chatter' threads should not be taken as gospel. These are bits of information that we have come across that we definitely feel qualify as plausible or probable, but may not be absolutely certain. This may not qualify as capital-J journalism but, ultimately, our view is that you subscribe to RedRaiderSports.com for access to precisely this kind of behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt.
Furthermore, these bits of information are from the RRS staff collectively and coming from a variety of sources. I'm simply tasked with putting it all together in post form.
2:30 p.m.: It sounds like Texas Tech is interviewing SMU head coach Sonny Dykes sometime today.
... Don't be surprised if there are conversations between Baylor associate head coach Joey McGuire and Texas Tech this week, if they haven't happened already.
... Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Billy Napier, Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze and Oklahoma defensive coordinator Alex Grinch are also names to monitor.
... Mississippi State coach Mike Leach is in play.
... Texas Tech is willing to pay in the $5 million range for its next head coach if the right candidate emerges as a front-runner.
