SAN MARCOS, Texas — Texas State football coach Jake Spavital has been fired after four seasons in which the Bobcats won just 13 games. Texas State finished its second consecutive 4-8 season on Saturday with a 41-13 loss at home to Louisiana-Lafayette. The Sun Belt program has had only one winning season since moving up to the Bowl Subdivision in 2012. The 37-year-old Spavita was one of the youngest head coaches in major college football when he was hired after the 2018 season.
