1:43 p.m.: Texas Tech has officially announced Wells' dismissal. Hocutt will hold a press conference at 5 p.m. CT. It will be streamed live at TexasTech.com and through the athletic department's YouTube channel.

12:17 p.m.: Texas Tech has dismissed Matt Wells as head football coach. Sonny Cumbie will take over as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. More soon.

11:55 a.m.: Barring a very last minute change of direction, we expect Texas Tech to dismiss Matt Wells today. This was first reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Sonny Cumbie would take over as interim head coach. We have heard this from multiple sources, including former players.

Original Post: Kirby Hocutt is meeting right now with offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie. We don't the context of that meeting but we do know that this is an abnormal event during a game week.
