Todd Orlando’s time on the Texas Tech coaching staff and reunion with his colleague Matt Wells lasted less than two weeks.

A Texas Tech official confirmed Monday that Orlando is no longer working for the program, shortly after Yahoo Sports reported that Southern California is working on a deal to make Orlando the Trojans’ defensive coordinator.

Tech hired Orlando on Jan. 8 as assistant head coach and linebackers coach.

Monday’s news continues a busy past two months for the 47-year-old coach. Texas fired Orlando on Dec. 1 as part of a staff shakeup after the Longhorns failed to meet expectations in the regular season.

Tech announced Orlando’s addition less than six weeks later. Orlando was Wells’ first defensive coordinator at Utah State during the 2013 and 2014 seasons, when the Aggies went 9-5 and 10-4 with bowl victories.

It seemed an ideal fit philosophically. Tech defensive coordinator Keith Patterson and Orlando both love to pressure quarterbacks, a style Wells wants, although both their teams’ defenses got burned by the pass last season. Of the 130 teams in the FBS, Texas ranked No. 127 in pass defense and Tech No. 128.

USC is able to offer Orlando a promotion compared the position for which he was hired by Tech. According to Yahoo Sports’ report, the Trojans are targeting him to be their defensive coordinator. He would replace Clancy Pendergast, who was let go after USC’s Holiday Bowl 49-24 loss to Iowa ended an 8-5 season.

Orlando’s hiring at Tech was coupled with the dismissal of safeties coach Kerry Cooks, so Wells has one position open.
