You should probably get on your knees, face West Texas and thank the football gods that Kingsbury taught him (Mahomes) as much as he did in the limited time and with the limited tools those Tech teams had.
The difference between Mahomes' freshman year and his junior year was staggering--and THAT came from Kingsbury's coaching. When you don't have a defense and you're only going to have a player maybe two years, possibly three, you don't have the luxury of doing what Reid did which is keeping him second-string and giving him an entire year to improve some fundamental skills.

Fact. I graduated from Texas Tech in '87 and ever since the Leach years and then the Kingsbury years, I've watched some damned exciting quarterbacks that brought energy and excitement and "can-do/will-do" to the field. But I've never seen those attributes like I have with Mahomes.
This is going to be fun.

One of the things we (Tech fans/alum) loved most about Mahomes was that he saved his swagger for the field. Off the field, he was a gentleman and one who did the brand proud.
He'll do my adopted hometown of Kansas City proud.
