Matt Wells has fired David Yost
- Replacements?
  - Kittley, who we predicted everyone would want after the HBU “win”, hasn’t had the ink dry on a job with WKU
  - Former Tech QBs?
    - Harrell and Riley and Cumbie
  - Andrew Sowder, Kent State OC, from Shallowater
  - Matt Storm, Stephen F Austin OC
  - Anyone already on staff?
    - Luke Wells Co-OC at USU 2013-2016
    - Article from Don Williams in October concerning Covid Chain of Command:
      “Should Wells have to miss a game for a COVID-19 positive this season, he said Patterson makes sense to take over because the veteran DC already coaches from field level. Were Patterson unavailable, linebackers coach Kevin Cosgrove would call the defense. If offensive coordinator David Yost has to stay home some Saturday, tight ends/inside receivers coach Luke Wells would call plays.”
  - “Ties to Tech” a must-have?
  - Air Raid a must have?
- How will this work?
  - Who would take on this job?
- Why did this take 9 days?
- Does any of this matter?
