Stephen Hamby, the Texas Tech football offensive line coach the past two years, was let go on Monday, a Tech athletics spokesman said.

Tech coach Joey McGuire currently is looking for a replacement for that position, another Tech spokesman said.

Tech finished 7-6 in 2023 with an Independence Bowl victory over California. Behind the Red Raiders’ offensive line, running back Tahj Brooks finished as the fourth-leading rusher in the FBS with 1,538 yards and 10 touchdowns. Brooks’s 290 carries were the second most by any player at any level of college football this past season.

Hamby was midway through a two-year contract that called for him to make $320,000 for 2023 and $330,000 for 2024. Year two of the contract started last week.

A Tech athletics spokesman said Hamby was terminated without cause. Under the terms of Hamby’s contract, Tech must pay him 70 percent of the remaining value of the deal in monthly installments, beginning a month from the termination date. The buyout obligation, however, is reduced dollar-for-dollar by Hamby’s earnings from any subsequent job during the term of the contract, which runs through Jan. 31, 2025.
