Coaching staff
After the 2016 season, Texas State lost several coaches to other programs, e.g. Mississippi State, Notre Dame, and Boston College. Withers reached into his past to hire Zak Kuhr from Rutgers. Kuhr was formerly the running backs coach at James Madison University under Coach Withers in 2014 and 2015, adding the co-offensive coordinator title in 2015. Withers filled the remaining openings on the staff with Eric Mateos from LSU and by promoting graduate assistant Preston Mason to full-time.
