Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Behren Morton has sparked controversy after criticizing head coach Joey McGuire’s clock management during the team’s recent loss to Baylor.
In a post-game interview, Morton expressed his frustration with the team’s late-game strategy, saying, “We should’ve won that game. I think we had the momentum, but we just didn’t manage the clock well enough.”
Morton’s comments were seen as a direct criticism of Coach McGuire’s decision-making, and they have sparked a heated debate among Red Raiders fans and alumni.
“I understand that Behren is frustrated, but you can’t criticize the coach like that,” said one fan. “It’s not his place to question the game plan.”
However, others have come to Morton’s defense, saying that he has every right to express his opinions and that his comments were justified given the team’s poor performance.
“Behren is just telling it like it is,” said another fan. “We’ve been struggling with clock management all season, and it’s cost us games. Someone needs to speak up and hold the coaches accountable.”
Coach McGuire has not publicly responded to Morton’s comments, but sources close to the team say that he is “disappointed” in his quarterback’s decision to speak out.
Morton’s comments have also raised questions about his future with the team. Will he face disciplinary action for his comments, or will he be able to move forward and continue to lead the Red Raiders on the field? Only time will tell.
