In 2022, McGuire was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame. But for what did he earn the credit? McGuire wrote one of the most memorable turnaround stories in Texas high school football history during his 14 seasons leading Cedar Hill. He was also handed over the Coach of the Year honors for Class 5A that season by the Texas Sports Writers Association (TSWA). So, it was obvious that when it came to finances, there would be no turning back for McGuire. As reported by College Football Network, the Texas Tech head coach is reported to have a net worth of $26.6 million.
Joey McGuire’s Contract
McGuire was only 31 years old when he was promoted to head coach at Cedar Hill. Before that, he had served the high school for six seasons as an assistant coach. And that flipped their luck. He ended Cedar Hill’s drought of not winning a season in eight years by gifting them a 6-4 campaign in his debut. But talking about financial success, things eventually got better for the two-time District Coach of the Year (2005-06) in the college landscape. McGuire was either the ninth or 10th highest-paid among the Big 12 head football coaches for the 2024 contract year. This came after McGuire signed a new six-year contract in 2022 that will run through 2022.

Joey McGuire’s Investments and Business Ventures
McGuire met the love of his life, his wife Debbie, in the mid–90s. They have two kids, daughter Raegan is a fashion designer in New York City, and his son Garret followed in his father’s footsteps, playing quarterback at Baylor, and now assists McGuire in the Texas Tech coaching roster. However, their kids definitely must be feeling proud of how their parents are leaving their mark off the gridiron.
