SAN MARCOS, Texas — Texas State University has found its new football coach.

  • Jake Spavital is Texas State's new head football coach
  • Previously offensive coordinator at West Virginia 
  • Replaces former head coach Everett Withers

On Tuesday, the Bobcats announced they tapped West Virginia offensive coordinator Jake Spavital to lead the program.

Spavital is the play caller for the Mountaineers's top 10 offense, and worked with Johnny Manziel as an assistant at Texas A&M.

Earlier this month, Everett Withers was dismissed after three seasons with the Bobcats.

He had a 3-8 record this season and a 7-28 record in his three years as head coach.
