Texas State, Kinne Announce Contract Extension

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State University has today announced a seven-year contract extension for head football coach GJ Kinne to continue to lead the Bobcat football program through the 2031 season.

In his second season at Texas State, Kinne has led the Bobcats to back-to-back bowl seasons, including its first bowl victory in 2023. The 2024 season saw seven regular season wins, marking the third time TXST has reached that mark since entering the FBS ranks in 2012, and gives the Bobcats consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2008-09.
