Local news (KCBD)is reporting Hocutt is negotiating with Utah State coach Matt Wells. This hire seems like a failure in the making. He does not have a winning record against teams with winning records. He coaches in a sub-par conference. I wasn’t looking for a “splash” hire but one that would instill confidence, this does not do it. I boldy predict we will be on the search again in 4 years. With the hire of Les Miles at KU, I could see TTU at the flat bottom of the big 12. Hope I eat these words but don’t think I will.
Lots of blind faith in Hocutt among TTU fan base. But let’s review the facts of his hires. Chris Beard- Win. Tadlock- Win. Billy Gillespie- loss. Kingsbury- loss. Tubby Smith- tie. Candace Whitaker- abject failure. Marlene Stollings- too early to tell.
Looks like Hocutt’s hiring record is 2-3 & 1. That’s about the same win % as the football coach he just fired. Maybe “elite” does not dwell in the corner office to begin with
