Texas Tech's coaching staff is falling apart due to differing circumstances. The Red Raiders fired three defensive assistants following the team's regular season finale, but this week, running backs coach Mike Jinks was hired away as a head coach by another program.

Jinks will become the next head coach at Bowling Green, where Dino Babers won the MAC championship before taking the Syracuse lead job.

Jinks was promoted to 'Associate Head Coach' in 2014 by Kliff Kingsbury.
