Clay Patterson - Offensive Coordinator
Clay Patterson enters his sixth season as the offensive coordinator for the Javelinas. He was promoted to assistant head
coach in the spring of 2012. His offense has consistently been one of the top units in the Lone Star Conference and nation.
In three of the past four years, Patterson has presided over one of the top 25 offenses in the country in terms of yardage.
His unit has also averaged over 28 points per game in each of the past four seasons.
Patterson was forced to juggle a pair of veteran quarterbacks in 2011 for a variety of reasons. Despite some of those difficulties,
he was still able to blend a top-notch offense that averaged 31 points, over 450 yards per game and completed a schoolrecord
259 passes.
Patterson helped develop Robert Armstrong and Sherman Batiste into first team all-conference wide receivers, but his best
work came with running back Jonathan Woodson who emerged as one of the best players in the country. Woodson led the nation
in all-purpose yards and was named to four different All-America teams.
The 2010 season was a challenging one for Patterson as he had to deal with midseason losses of his top running back and
wide receiver while breaking in a new quarterback. Despite the setbacks, his unit still averaged more than 28 points per game for
a third straight season and racked up nearly 400 yards of total offense per game. He had four players earn second team LSC
South honors and three more named Honorable Mention including wide receiver Ryan Lincoln who finished with the most receptions in school history, 210.
In 2009, Patterson guided the Hoggie offense to a very balanced attack that averaged 185 yards rushing and 239 yards passing. Overall, the team finished 20th
in the country in total offense (424.75 yards per game) and 22nd in scoring (33.92 points per game). He coached his first 1,000-yard rusher in Fred Winborn and had
a quarterback, Billy Garza, who was a regional finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy.
The Javelinas scored at least 30 points in nine of 12 games and scored 56 points in an NCAA Playoff loss to Tarleton State. He had 10 players earn all-conference
honors including two, Winborn and Markeith Wesley, named to the first team.
In his second season, Patterson called the plays for an offense that set a school record for most passing yards and finished third in the Lone Star Conference in
total offense and scoring. The Javelinas finished the season with the 12th best passing offense in the nation (298.7 yards per game) and 23rd in total offense (429.8
yards per game). The team averaged 31.3 points per game and scored at least 35 points in seven of 11 games.
Under his tutelage, the Hoggie passing game featured an all-conference quarterback and three all-conference wide receivers. In the final game of the season,
the Javelinas passed for a school record 484 yards with three receivers going over 100 yards at Angelo State. Seven of the 11 offensive starters earned all-LSC
South Division honors.
Patterson was wide receivers coach at Tarleton State in 2006. He helped Tarleton State to a share of the Lone Star Conference South Division title in 2006.
The Texans ranked fourth in the LSC in scoring offense, averaging 29 points per game and 216 yards per game passing, fifth in the LSC. He coached at SOSU from
2003-05, helping the Savage Storm to back-to-back LSC North Division titles and an appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2004. He served as the wide
receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.
Patterson played his junior and senior seasons at Southeastern Oklahoma after transferring from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. He earned his undergraduate
degree from Southeastern Oklahoma in 2003 and his master’s in 2005. He and his wife, Ashley, reside in Kingsville.
Jaime Martinez - Offensive Line
Former Javelina star Jaime Martinez is in his eighth year as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator, the most of
any member of the coaching staff.
Martinez was forced to juggle the offensive line in 2011, but he was still able to put a good product on the field. The unit
blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher and an offense that averaged over 450 yards per game.
As a recruiting coordinator, Martinez helped bring in the largest class under head coach Bo Atterberry’s tenure in February
of 2012.
In 2010, Martinez had a trio of seniors, but had to do some mixing and matching positions due to a number of injuries.
The line started the season a little slowly, but eventually melded into a strong group. They had a four game stretch where they
allowed only one sack. He had two lineman named Second Team LSC South and another earn Honorable Mention honors.
Martinez had a veteran group of linemen (two seniors and three juniors) to work with in 2009 and it showed. The unit
blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher and 2,500-yard passer for the first time in school history. As a group, they allowed only 14
sacks and did not allow any sacks in half of the team’s games despite the team throwing 418 passes on the season. Left guard
Markeith Wesley earned Third Team Football Gazette All-America honors and left tackle Jorge Guerra earned Second Team
Daktronics Super Region Four honors. Four of the five starters earned all-LSC South honors.
In 2008, Martinez’s line showed great improvement. The line provided protection for a school record setting passing offense. The team attempted 430 passes
and was sacked just 22 times while averaging 298.7 yards passing per game, 12th best in the nation. Additionally, the line cleared the way for running back Billy
Martin to rush for over 150 yards on two occasions. Under Martinez’s tutelage, Markeith Wesley earned first team LSC South and second team All-Region honors
and Jorge Guerra grabbed honorable mention LSC South honors.
In 2006 Martinez coached yet another offensive lineman to All-America honors as John Cook earned first team All-America honors from the American Football
Coaches Association. In 2005 two of his linemen earned All-Lone Star Conference honors. James Cardenas was named second team All-LSC, while Van Nelson
earned honorable mention honors.
Martinez, a native of nearby Beeville, was a standout for the Javelinas from 1992-95 on the offensive line. He was a two-time All-Lone Star Conference selection.
He earned first team All-America honors as a junior and senior. The Javelinas won four Lone Star Conference Championships, went 21-0 in LSC play, posted a
39-13 overall record, advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals three times and advanced to the NCAA championship game once.
Prior to returning to Kingsville he spent five years as the offensive line and special teams coach at Granger High School. He also served as the offensive line
coach at Medina Valley High School in Castroville.
He is married to the former Marisa Fancher of Albany, Ore., a former Javelina volleyball player. They have a daughter, Maya and a son, Rylee and reside in
Bishop, TX.
