Historia
Historia temprana (1904-1964)
La Escuela Normal Estatal del Suroeste de Texas [3] presentó por primera vez un equipo de fútbol en 1904. [4] Oscar W. Strahan , para quien se nombra el campo de baloncesto actual, fue contratado como el primer Director de Atletismo de la universidad y se desempeñó como el primer director del equipo. entrenador de fútbol americano de 1919 a 1934. [5] Recopiló un impresionante récord de 72–52–10 y ganó tres campeonatos (1921, 1924, 1929). Strahan llevó a Texas State a la TIAA en 1922 y luego como miembro fundador de la Lone Star Conference en 1932. Joe Bailey Cheaney se desempeñó como entrenador en jefe de fútbol americano en Southwest Texas State de 1935 a 1942. Los Bobcats obtuvieron 23–42–6 durante el mandato de Cheaney. Se le pidió a Cheaney que renunciara después de la temporada de 1942. La universidad no presentó un equipo de fútbol entre 1943 y 1945 debido a la Segunda Guerra Mundial . Los entrenadores en jefe George Vest , Milton Jowers , RW Parker y Jack Henry fueron los entrenadores en jefe de Texas State. Vest llevó al equipo a un campeonato de conferencias en 1948, mientras que Parker ganó co-campeonatos en 1954 y 1955. Jowers, para quien se nombra el Jowers Center (sede del Departamento de Salud y Desempeño Humano), se desempeñó como entrenador en jefe dos veces (1951– 1953 y 1961-1964). Compiló un récord de 48-18-2, ganando más del 72% de sus juegos, incluido un campeonato de conferencia 10-0 en 1963.
Era de Bill Miller (1965-1978)
Bill Miller fue ascendido de entrenador asistente a entrenador en jefe en 1965. [4] Durante su mandato, los Bobcats compilaron un récord de 86–51–3. [6] Miller se retiró en 1978 como el entrenador en jefe con más victorias de la escuela en su historia y el segundo entrenador en jefe con más años de antigüedad. [6]
Era de Jim Wacker (1979-1982)
Miller fue sucedido por Jim Wacker , quien llevó a los Bobcats a dos campeonatos nacionales consecutivos de la División II de la NCAA en sus dos últimas temporadas (la escuela se había mudado a la NCAA poco tiempo antes). [7] Wacker dejó Southwest Texas State para aceptar el puesto de entrenador en jefe en TCU después de la temporada de 1982. [7] Wacker dejó a los Bobcats con un récord de 42-8, que incluyó una marca de 13-1 en 1981 y una marca de 14-0 en 1982.
Era de John O'Hara (1983-1989)
John O'Hara sucedió a Wacker, entrenando a Southwest Texas State durante siete temporadas. [8] Bajo el liderazgo de O'Hara, los Bobcats compartieron el título de la conferencia y llegaron a los playoffs en 1983, perdiendo en la primera ronda. O'Hara fue la fuerza impulsora detrás de mover Southwest Texas State de la División II a la División I-AA, donde los Bobcats enfrentaron una competencia mucho más dura en el campo y en la ruta de reclutamiento. Después de la temporada de 1989, O'Hara se unió al personal de fútbol de la Universidad de Iowa, donde permaneció hasta su repentina muerte en 1992 a la edad de 48 años.
Era de Dennis Franchione (1990-1991)
Dennis Franchione siguió a O'Hara, y bajo su tutela, los Bobcats tenían un récord de 6-5 en 1990 y una marca de 7-4 en 1991. Franchione dejó a los Bobcats después de dos temporadas para aceptar el puesto de entrenador en jefe en Nuevo México . [9]
Era de Jim Bob Helduser (1992-1996)
Para reemplazar a Franchione, los Bobcats promovieron a Jim Bob Helduser de asistente de entrenador a entrenador en jefe. Bajo el liderazgo de Helduser, los Bobcats compilaron un récord de 20–34–1. Helduser fue abordado por Franchione para unirse a su personal en la Texas Christian University como entrenador de línea ofensiva, una oferta que Helduser aceptó.
Era Bob DeBesse (1997-2002)
El coordinador ofensivo de Minnesota , Bob DeBesse, fue contratado por su alma mater para servir como entrenador en jefe luego de la partida de Helduser. [10] En 2000, los Bobcats del suroeste de Texas de DeBesse consiguieron el mejor récord de la escuela en una década (7-4) y obtuvieron el puesto 25 en el ranking nacional. [10] Sin embargo, la mediocridad obligó a DeBesse a salir después de la temporada 2002, ya que la administración de la escuela se había cansado de un reclutamiento y un juego mediocres.
Era de Manny Matsakis (2003)
Manny Matsakis dejó Texas Tech como Coordinador de Equipos Especiales para convertirse en el entrenador en jefe de los Bobcats en 2003, pero solo duró una temporada. En su única temporada, Texas State compiló un récord de 5-7. Matsakis dejó el estado de Texas después de la temporada 2003 debido a problemas de gestión asociados con el programa de fútbol y un informe preliminar de investigación que encontró violaciones a las regulaciones de la NCAA. Se sancionó a más funcionarios del departamento de atletismo. [11]
David Bailiff era (2004–2006)
TCU defensive coordinator David Bailiff was hired as Matsakis' replacement on February 5, 2004.[12] In his first season as the Bobcats' head coach, he guided them to a 5–6 record. In 2005, they finished the regular season 9–2 and were Southland Conference Champions. They then won two games in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, eventually losing to Northern Iowa. In 2006, the Bobcats' were again 5–6. Bailiff left Texas State after three seasons to accept the head coaching position at Rice.[13]
Brad Wright era (2007–2010)
Brad Wright was promoted from running backs coach to head coach of the Bobcats football program after Bailiff's departure.[14] Under Wright's tutelage, the Bobcats compiled a mediocre 23–23 record. Fan support and administration restlessness led the Wright's firing following a 4–7 campaign in 2010.[15]
Franchione's return (2011–2015)
Following Brad Wright's dismissal, Texas State University engaged Parker Executive Search to help them find their next head football coach. Finalists included former Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins, Oklahoma co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright, former Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster, and Dennis Franchione.[16]
On January 7, 2011, Franchione was named head coach of Texas State's football program and signed a five-year contract valued at $350,000 per year.[17] This was Franchione's second tenure with Texas State, having previously coached at what was then Southwest Texas State in 1990 and 1991. His second tenure at Texas State was slightly less successful, as he led Texas State into Football Bowl Subdivision level football in 2012, joining the Western Athletic Conference.[18] Texas State then negotiated membership in the more stable Sun Belt Conference beginning in 2013,[19] after the WAC stopped sponsoring football.[20] Franchione retired from coaching following the 2015 season.[21] His second tenure with the Bobcats produced a 26–34 record.[22]
Everett Withers era (2016–2018)
Former North Carolina head coach Everett Withers was hired as Texas State's head coach on January 6, 2016.[23] Withers, who was serving as head coach at James Madison in the FCS at the time of his hiring, is the first African American to hold the position of head football coach at Texas State University.[24] In 2016, Withers' first season, the Bobcats compiled a 2–10 record.[25] The Bobcats broke the all-time attendance record at their home opener on September 24, 2016 with 33,133.[26] In 2017, Withers' second season, the Bobcats again recorded a 2–10 record. Withers entered the 2018 season with an overall record of 4-20. Withers was fired as the head coach for football on November 18, 2018 with a 7-28 record as head coach. Defensive Coordinator Chris Woods became the interim head coach for the season finale.
Jake Spavital era (2019–present)
On November 28, 2018, Jake Spavital was hired to replace Withers as Texas State's head coach.[27] Spavital previously served as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at West Virginia from 2017–2018. The Bobcats lost to No. 12 ranked Texas A&M 41-7 in the program's first game under Spavital.
