Morris, Kinne, Keeler among possible Texas State head coach candidates

Texas State parted ways with head football coach Jake Spavital following a blowout loss to Louisiana in the final game of the regular season. The Bobcats moved to the FBS level in 2012 and haven’t yet reached a bowl game in 11 seasons. They were 6-6 in 2013 and 7-5 in 2014 under the direction of Dennis Franchione. The 2014 season is the only year that Texas State finished the year with a winning record in Sun Belt play during the 10 years in the conference.  

Spavital leaves San Marcos with a 13-35 record in charge. He was 9-23 in Sun Belt competition. The Bobcats went 3-9 in his first year at the helm back in 2019. The number dipped to two wins in 2020. Texas State won four games in 2021 for the first time since 2014, but a second straight 4-8 campaign sealed his fate. Texas State moved to the FBS ranks in 2012. The Bobcats have only finished above .500 once – that was in 2014 with Dennis Franchione as the head coach. The only other record at .500 or better was a 6-6 finish in 2013. Everett Withers was 7-29 in his three years in charge from 2016 to 2018. Franchione was 20-28.
