Texas high school football coaches are conquering the college football ranks — and the cover of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.
Dave Campbell’s Texas Football revealed the cover of its 2022 summer edition on Monday — the 63nd annual “Bible of Texas Football” — featuring new Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire and UTSA coach Jeff Traylor.
The headline says it all loud and clear: “FORGED ON FRIDAY: How Texas high school football coaches took over college football.” It's the first time that UTSA — fresh off its first conference championship — has been featured in the main cover image, and the first time for Texas Tech since 2016 with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Kliff Kingsbury. It's also the first multi-school cover since 2015 with Texas vs. Texas A&M, and the first cover with coaches from multiple schools since 1999 with TCU's Dennis Franchione and Texas' Mack Brown.
The image was shot by Mansfield-based photographer John Hamilton, shooting his fourth summer edition cover (2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022).
