The University of Incarnate Word football coach has accepted the head coaching position at Texas State University, the school announced Friday.
G.J. Kinne, a former quarterback at Tulsa, took the reigns of the Cardinals’ football program this year and in his first season led the team to a 10-1 record and a second straight Southland Conference title. The team plays Furman in the second round of the FCS playoffs at Gayle & Tom Benson Stadium this Saturday.
“It’s with great honor that I’m accepting the call to be next head football coach of the Texas State Bobcats,” Kinne said. “We are going to play fast, have relentless energy, and when the going gets tough, have the mental confidence to win tight games in the second half and represent the state of Texas. Eat ‘Em Up!”
Kinne took the job after the previous head coach, Eric Morris, took the offensive coordinator job at Washington State. Morris had led the Cardinals to two Southland Conference titles and left the program as the record holder for most wins with 24.
