Jake Spavital returns to WVU football as offensive coordinator

Little puzzled with the OC move but I like the QB coach addition a lot and WVU now has 3 of the best offensive minds in CFB coaching its football team. On the surface, I like it as long as there is no hard feelings by Wickline. Pretty exciting imo, this years offense could be something special.

I am cautiously excited by this move, the offense hasn't been getting the production the last couple years, there have been times they have taken half of games off, a serious lack of effort and technique has led to a lack of red zone efficiency. I agree with the one statement in the article, if I was Jake, I'd have told Holgorsen the only way I come is with 90% control of the offense, with the HC only having veto power.

I called this one earlier in the week.

This is great news! I understand Wickline wanted to be in control of just the OL.

These 3... Dana, Jake and Joe... created some magic the last time they were all together.

Jake Spavital’s contract incentives revealed, with one curious modification

Was hoping Wickline wasn't disgruntled about the OC job being given to Spav, now there are rumors that UF is sniffing around Seider again trying to lure him to Gator country. If they offer him the OC job he might take it and that will be Galloway and Seider gone in back to back years after Dana passed them over for the OC gig :L.

Wickline and Spav are the better candidates as far as resume so you cant begrudge Dana for the hires and I cant blame either (Lonnie or JaJuan)for wanting/taking an upgrade in pay and position but MAN Id like to keep this offensive staff as is for a couple of years, I think they could REALLY be special if we can keep everyone in place for awhile.

I hope this is another line of demarcation that Dana is evolving...

More likely Dana and me are on the same page. The OL has not evolved as Dana would like. You can't be balanced when you can't pass pro.

Dana being the offensive genius he is, has found ways to win games by being one dimensional. But, he expects more than just being able to run the ball...

Having a QB that had at least 1 D1 offer out of HS helps too iyam..

Gotta believe Spivatal has got to have a bigger role to come to Wv...
