Following up on speculation that surfaced late last week, Texas Tech announced a “revamping” of Tommy Tuberville‘s coaching staff.
As relayed in a press release, offensive line coach Matt Moore and defensive backs coach Otis Mounds were dismissed, while defensive line coach Sam McElroy will be reassigned to a non-coaching position on the staff.
Additionally, the school announced the hiring of Terry Price and John Lovett as defensive assistants.
“Terry and John are going to be great additions to our football family here at Texas Tech and we are thrilled that they are now Red Raiders,” said Tuberville. “They both have many years of experience at the highest level in college football and are regarded as tremendous coaches and recruiters. I am excited to have them and their families here with us and look forward to the excitement they will bring to our program.”
Both Price and Lovett served on Tuberville’s Ole Miss and Auburn staffs, with the latter as defensive coordinator with the Tigers from 1999-2001. He was also Miami’s coordinator in 2009 and 2010.
