The Mountaineers are blessed to have two of the hottest names in college football with Tony Gibson as the WVU defensive coordinator and Jake Spavital as the offensive coordinator.
Both Tony Gibson and Jake Spavital were recently mentioned in a Sports Illustrated story naming the top 30 names to watch in coaching. Some names were current head coaches, like Phillip Montgomery of Tulsa, Jason Candle of Toledo and Scott Satterfield of the fellow Mountaineers, Appalachian State.
There were also assistant coaches at the Power 5 level who were named as possible head coaches in the near future.
