LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers says interim coach Ruffin McNeill will be strongly considered for the permanent job.
Myers said Monday that the search has started for Mike Leach’s replacement and he could have a pick by week’s end.
Texas Tech fired Leach on Dec. 30, two days after it suspended him while it investigated Adam James’ allegations for mistreatment after he got a concussion.
Leach’s attorney has said he plans to file a lawsuit against the school.
Myers says he doesn’t have a big list of candidates. He declined to identify the coaches outside the program who could be interviewed in the next couple of days.
McNeill led the Red Raiders to 41-31 win over Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday.
