Jody Sears (born October 21, 1967) is an American college football coach and former player. He served as head football coach at Weber State University (WSU) from 2012 to 2013, compiling a record of four wins and 19 losses.[1]
He attended Pullman High School in his native town of Pullman, Washington. He went on to attend Washington State, where he walked on as a wide receiver. He graduated in 1991. Afterwards he attended graduate school at Iowa State University, where he earned his master's degree. He served as a graduate assistant coach there, where he coached wide receivers and defensive backs.
In 1998, he became the defensive coordinator at St. Ambrose University. Afterwards he served as a coach for three years at Army, before heading to Eastern Washington University as a defensive coordinator.
Sears spent three years as the co-defensive coordinator for the Washington State University Cougars. After head coach Paul Wulff was fired in late 2011 new Washington State head coach Mike Leach did not keep most of the Wulff staff.
On April 2, 2012, Sears joined new head coach John L. Smith as the defensive coordinator at Weber State University. Only a couple weeks later, Smith stepped down and left Weber State to become the head coach at Arkansas. Sears was then asked to become the interim head coach at Weber State.[2][3]
