SAN MARCOS, Texas – The architect of the nation's top offense, G.J. Kinne has been named the new head coach of Texas State football, Director of Athletics Don Coryell announced on Friday.
The 21st head coach in program history, Kinne will take over the Bobcats after constructing a conference champion, a top-10 nationally ranked team, and FCS playoff participant at UIW. The Cardinals won the Southland Conference title this year powered by an offense that averaged 52.9 points per game – the most by any NCAA Division I team (FBS and FCS). In November, Kinne was named a finalist for the 2022 Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented to the national coach of the year.
