Kinne Returns to Austin as Coach | Texas Longhorns Football News

GJ Kinne, once a top Texas QB recruit who never played for the Longhorns, is back in Austin as Texas State’s head coach — and he’s bringing a high-octane offense that could shake up Saturday’s game. After bouncing between Baylor and Texas before landing at Tulsa, Kinne absorbed the spread attack that now defines his coaching DNA. Under mentors like Malzahn and Kelly, he built offenses that move fast and score big — and his current quarterback, Brad Jackson, is already being compared to Colt McCoy. With Texas State ranked near the nation’s elite in tempo and ready to unleash their speed on the Longhorns, Kinne’s underdog squad might just pull off the upset — all while reliving a full-circle moment from his own winding path to the sidelines.
