The Texas State defense will be under new leadership as safeties coach Dexter McCoil Sr. was promoted to defensive coordinator over the offseason following the departure of Jonathan Patke who became the new defensive coordinator for the Duke Blue Devils.
“First of all it is a blessing,” McCoil said. “I’m just thankful for the opportunity to lead. I will be the first to tell you that even though I have the defensive coordinator title, it’s not a me thing. It’s a new thing. I’m only as good as our staff, our kids and what we do together. It’s been a collective group of doing things the right way and getting better each day. I always say that the standard is rising. Every day we come in, no matter if it is meeting time, writing stuff down, the little things, we want to make sure our standards are rising, and it starts with me.”
