New Missouri State Bears head coach Casey Woods has announced key additions to his coaching staff, naming Mark Cala as offensive coordinator and Jack Curtis as defensive coordinator.

His resume also includes successful stints at TCU, Arkansas, Houston, and FAU, consistently contributing to high-powered offenses and developing quarterbacks like TCU's All-Big 12 performer Josh Hoover.
