Spavital is widely considered one of the best offensive minds in college football and brings a bevy of experience to Waco, including four years as the head coach at Texas State. He has also worked as the OC/QB coach at West Virginia (2017-18; 2010-11), Cal (2016) and Texas A&M (2013-15). He got his start in coaching at Tulsa in 2008, also working graduate assistant stints at Houston (2009) and Oklahoma State (2010).

As an offensive coordinator, Spavital has led six top-20 offenses and helped his squad earn a spot in the AP Top 25 poll in seven different seasons.

Spavital has recruited and worked with several elite college and future NFL quarterbacks, including Will Grier (West Virginia), Case Keenum (Houston), Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M), Kyler Murray (Texas A&M), Geno Smith (West Virginia), Davis Webb (California) and Brandon Weeden (Oklahoma State). Murray was the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, while Weeden and Manziel were each selected in the first round by the Cleveland Browns in 2012 and 2014, respectively. Smith was a second-round choice of the New York Jets in 2013.
