# 2024 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team

The 2024 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team represented Texas Tech University in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Red Raiders played their home games at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, and competed as members of the Big 12 Conference. They were led by third-year head coach Joey McGuire. This was the program's 100th season.
On December 1, it was announced that defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter and secondary coach Marcel Yates had been fired. The Red Raiders finished the regular season with the worst passing defense in the Big 12, allowing 305.3 passing yards per game, which was also the second-most passing yards allowed per game in all of the FBS; only Tulsa allowed more passing yards per game. The following day, December 2, offensive coordinator Zach Kittley was named the new head coach at Florida Atlantic. On December 4, Houston defensive coordinator Shiel Wood was announced as the Red Raiders' new defensive coordinator. On December 6, Texas State offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich was hired as the Red Raiders' new offensive coordinator.
