Biography

Jason Tyler Candle (born November 12, 1979) is an American football coach who is currently the head football coach at the University of Toledo. He had been an assistant at Toledo since 2009, and at Mount Union before that. Candle played wide receiver at Mount Union and Geneva.

Playing career

Candle was born in Salem, Ohio. He played wide receiver, first at Geneva College (1998–1999) and then at Mount Union (2000–2001). Both Mount Union teams he played on won the Division III championship. Candle graduated from Mount Union in 2003.

Coaching career

After graduating Candle stayed on at Mount Union and joined the coaching staff as the wide receivers coach, a job he held from 2003–2006. In 2007 Mount Union promoted him to offensive coordinator, replacing Matt Campbell, who had joined the staff at Bowling Green.
