MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – There are a multitude of options available for West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen as he seeks a replacement for outgoing offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, who was hired to be the next head coach at Texas State.
When looking at Holgorsen’s past coordinator hires as a blueprint for what he might do next, there’s no question that familiarity is a trait he values.
Spavital was a graduate assistant for Holgorsen at Houston and Oklahoma State, then came along as the quarterbacks coach on Holgorsen’s first West Virginia staff before returning after stints as offensive coordinator at Texas A&M and California.
