The new coach will be Mike Spradlin who has been the O-line coach at the University of Houston since '03. Before that, he was the HC at Round Rock Westwood, Navasota and Midland Christian. His first job out of college was at Cooper in '80 where he served as the OC under Ray Overton. He followed Overton to Irving MacArthur where he served as the OC and O-line coach. Coach Spradlin received some pretty high praise from coach Art Briles...
''I've known Mike for 30 years. I've known what type of person he is, and the last few years I've gotten to know what type of coach he is,'' Briles said. ''You're getting a winner. You're getting a leader, and an energetic person that loves and cares about young people.''
