List of Texas Tech Red Raiders head football coaches[edit]

Nominator(s): NThomas (talk) 16:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am renominating this for featured list status. The comments from the previous nomination were all resolved but the nomination was closed for being a stale FLC. I still feel this meets all FLC. NThomas (talk) 16:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should an interim coach be counted as a head coach? What I'm getting at, is should the lead say "14 head coaches", as it does now, or, "13 head coaches and one interim head coach"?

I like the last one, but you didn't include (so it would be 14, 15 with Tuberville). NThomas (talk) 23:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for Note 2?

The general reference. Does it need an inline citation instead? NThomas (talk) 23:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I already gave a more thorough review last time around, so most of my issues have been resolved. Hopefully, this list has better luck this time around.—NMajdan•talk 16:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking another look at it! NThomas (talk) 23:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support.—NMajdan•talk 14:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Support – My comments were all addressed at the first FLC. Before supporting, I decided to take another look at the list, and I found only one additional issue: an excess period at the end of the first paragraph. When that's resolved, I'll end up in the support column. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:12, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Took the initiative to resolve this on the submitter's behalf.—NMajdan•talk 16:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Can't believe I missed that one! Thanks for the edit Nmajdan. NThomas (talk) 18:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing my nomination. I'll no longer be addressing any open comments for this list. If anyone else wants to renominated it feel free. NThomas (talk) 03:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note I originally archived this, but Mm40 agreed to take over this FLC, so I have reinstated it. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:09, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Mm40 (talk) 11:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Harrias

Comments:

"under first year head coach DeWitt Weaver" - I'm not sure, and it may differ in preference between US and UK English, but I'd use first-year here.
"both won four conference championships each, ..." - Ouch! No need to use "both" and "each" together. I'd suggest "each won four conference championships, ..."
~~I'm probably being stupid here.. but how come Tommy Tuberville isn't on the list?~~

I guess I can answer this question since I was involved in the decision. We decided to exclude him and other first year coaches since the list only goes through the end of the 2009 season (as is indicated above the table). Tuberville has yet to coach a game and therefore has no stats. We are not including him for the same reason we don't include placeholder rows in other tables. At the end of the 2010 season, Tuberville will be added.—NMajdan•talk 20:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense! As I said, me being stupid then! Harrias (talk) 20:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly a good looking list, just a few concerns and then I'll be more than happy to support. Harrias (talk) 19:56, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both done. Thanks for your comments. Mm40 (talk) 21:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, well done. Harrias (talk) 21:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
