SAN MARCOS — When Everett Withers was introduced Thursday as the new head football coach at Texas State, his first official appearance on campus was more like a pep rally than press conference.

There were more cheerleaders, players, assistants from the former regime and well-heeled boosters than members of the media in attendance, with some of the fans even taking the microphone to query Withers about his plans to jump-start the Bobcats’ program after a dismal 3-9 season.

“I’ve got a plan, and it’s infallible,” Withers said. “I’m not a patient man, and I won’t ask for patience from (our fans). Fan stands for ‘fanatic.’ Fanatics want something right now. I get it. I understand it. I’m ready to go to work.”

Dennis Franchione retired on Dec. 22. Withers comes to San Marcos after compiling a 19-7 record and leading James Madison to back-to-back NCAA Division I FCS playoff appearances and a conference championship. James Madison also set a school record with a 14-game regular-season winning streak after the Dukes won the final seven games of the 2014 season and began 2015 with a 7-0 record.

This is the attitude that I like to see. He understands expectations and he understands what needs to be done. He will not sit on his words like many, but will express that he has a full understanding. Seems like a good hire.

lol.   @oldguystudent, with how much you disdain Dodge for the reason highlighted above, I imagine you would have reacted in the same way as Mr. Fields & withdrew all monetary support if would have been hired here.

We even very nearly share a name there, so...coincidence?  I think not!
