In this report from MetroNews, Dana Holgorsen knows where West Virginia is going this bowl season. Now it’s a matter of finding out who is coming with him to the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Fla., when the Mountaineers will face Syracuse on Dec. 28.

 

Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital already expressed an interest in retaining the role for one more game after accepting the head coaching job at Texas State. But as Holgorsen noted on Sunday, he hasn’t been in touch with Spavital since he took the Texas State job. Both coaches were out on the road recruiting this weekend.

 

“I haven’t heard from Jake since his press conference; he’s been buckled down with recruiting and so have I,” Holgorsen said. “He was a hot commodity at several schools. He settled on Texas State, which is great for Texas State and the Sun Belt Conference.”

 

Holgorsen said Spavital kept him in the loop as he interviewed for jobs. He is Holgorsen’s first coordinator to land a head coaching position at another Division I program.

 

The door is open for Spavital to rejoin the staff for the bowl game, though Holgorsen is preparing to take on Spavital’s usual duties as offensive coordinator.
