... Kirby Hocutt has just informed the Texas Tech football staff of his decision to dismiss Kliff Kingsbury.

... Hocutt will meet with the team at some point between now and his 2 p.m. press conference.

11:22 a.m.:

... Texas Tech's team meeting is scheduled for Noon.

11:53 a.m.:

... Texas Tech was scheduled to have six official visitors in this weekend. We aren't sure if those are still on track or not - probably way too early to tell.

12:49 p.m.:
... If/when Hocutt uses a private plane for this coaching search, its tail number will be masked from being tracked on FlightAware.

1:03 p.m.:
... Kingsbury and Hocutt both spoke with the Texas Tech football team within the last hour. Kingsbury encouraged the players to stay together and play hard for whoever the next coach is.

1:08 p.m.:
... Texas Tech has officially announced Kingsbury's dismissal.

4:25 p.m.:
... Hocutt is still expected to take part in his weekly radio show this week on Double T 97.3. He could be live in studio, he could call in from an undisclosed location or he could record part of the program ahead of time, but you should hear from Hocutt again on Wednesday.
