A group of Texas Tech supporters were among the first to welcome Head Football Coach Tommy Tuberville to the Texas Tech family.

During a February 12th dinner at Jones AT&T Stadium, about 100 people were introduced to Tuberville and his coaching staff. Prior to the seated dinner, Tuberville and his wife Suzanne, visited one-on-one with the guests.

Tuberville introduced each member of his coaching staff and talked about the importance of support for the athletes and how he believes a great program is more than just winning games. He shared his philosophy and goal for each player to graduate from Texas Tech University, “a better man.”

The Arkansas native told the audience how gracious the people of Lubbock have been to his family in their move, and he thanked everyone for a warm welcome to Lubbock and Texas Tech.

“This was a fantastic event and a unique opportunity to meet the wonderful supporters of Texas Tech,” said Tuberville. “I am excited to know that we have outstanding people involved with Texas Tech athletics and I look forward to working with them all in the future.”
