After two of the most successful offensive seasons in South Florida history, the Joe Kinnan era is over in Tampa. The former Manatee High School head coach will not be retained by new head coach Charlie Strong, Kinnan told the Herald on Wednesday.
Kinnan said he still hasn’t given much thought to his future. The 70-year-old will leave South Florida along with nearly all of the offensive staff, which contributed to a record-setting season in 2016.
“We’ll see what happens,” Kinnan said. “I’m not a spring chicken anymore, but we’ve got a president coming in who’s 70, so just because you’re old doesn’t mean you can’t contribute.
