The 2,000-yard passer under his direction was Bradley George, who finished the 2007 campaign completing 190 of his 334 passes for 2,099 yards and 16 touchdowns. Bush is in his fifth season overall at Texas State. He was promoted to his current position after serving three seasons as Texas State's wide receivers coach.

    During the 2005 Southland Conference championship and national semifinal playoff run, Bush coached one of the league's top receivers, Markee White, who was named to the All-Southland Conference First-Team. White went on to sign a free agent contract with the St. Louis Rams. He also coached All-SLC honorable mention return specialist Dameon Williams.

    Texas State led the Southland Conference and ranked 11th nationally in total offense in 2005, averaging 439.7 yards per game. The Bobcats also led the league with a 135.48 pass efficiency rating.

    Bush began his coaching career at San Marcos High School where he tutored the Rattlers' quarterbacks, running backs and special teams. San Marcos completed the 2000 campaign with an 11-1 record and an appearance in the state's regional finals.

    From 2001-2004, Bush was a graduate assistant coach at Texas Christian University, working with the Horned Frogs' offensive line. During his three-year tenure, the Frogs made three straight bowl appearances, captured both Conference USA and Liberty Bowl championships and had a combined 27-10 record.

    Bush graduated from TCU in 2003 with a master's degree in education administration. The Portland native graduated from Gregory-Portland High School in 1995 where he was a Class 4A All-State quarterback. He moved on to Texas State University, lettering four seasons as a wide receiver and served as the Bobcats' special teams' captain in 1999. He was also awarded the J.C. Kellam Award in 1999, which honors Texas State's most outstanding senior football student-athlete.

    Bush graduated from Texas State in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in exercise and sports science and holds teaching certificates in mathematics and physical education. He and his wife Diana have two sons, Treyson and Tyler.
