Texas State continues its search for Franchione’s replacement

A handful of potential candidates have surfaced, most notably K.C. Keeler of Sam Houston State, an FCS school that’s won 11 games each of the past two years and went four rounds deep into the playoffs this fall. Keeler also coached at Delaware from 2002-12 going 86-52 there.

One report said Keeler has already interviewed for the Texas State opening, though Teis would not confirm or deny that. Current Texas State offensive coordinator Mike Schultz, who has in the past been a finalist for head coaching jobs at TCU and New Mexico State, also will get a chance to interview.

For continuity’s sake, Schultz is an easy choice — if school officials believe that Texas State’s program was heading in the right direction until this year’s 3-9 derailment.

Schultz helped bring most of the players on this year’s team to San Marcos and has his hands deep into the Bobcats’ current recruiting class for 2016. He also has the backing of most of the players, team insiders say.

Neither Keeler nor Schultz has head coaching experience at the FBS level.

It’s unlikely that a coach with a FBS head job on his résumé would be interested in Texas State because of the salary that’s being offered; Franchione made $427,000 in 2015, which ranked No. 111 nationally among publicly available contracts.
