ORLANDO, Fla. -- G.J. Kinne and Gus Malzahn stand steps away from each other on the UCF practice field, near the quarterbacks of course. Malzahn points animatedly at the receivers before the passing drill begins. Kinne listens, then backpedals like a defensive back, keeping his eyes on the signal-callers.
It is hard to believe Kinne is even here, let alone coaching alongside the man who first showed him what a next-level, new-age, transformational spread offense could look like. If Kinne had made different decisions about two separate transfers -- one in high school and another in college -- his life might look different than it does now.
