Lecture Title: Offensive Coaches Drill Instruction

G.J. Kinne (Kin-Knee) joins the University of the Incarnate Word in December of 2021.  Previously, Kinne was at the University of Central Florida (UCF) where he was the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. 

Kinne is a former professional quarterback with stints in the NFL and the Canadian Football League. The Gilmer High School product has spent time coaching with the Philadelphia Eagles, at the University of Arkansas, at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and at the University of Hawai’i. He has worked with and played for some of the top offensive play-callers in the business, including Doug Pederson, Mike Norvell, Chad Morris, Chip Kelly, Ryan Day and Press Taylor.

While with the Knights, Kinne helped lead an offense that averaged nearly 400 yards of total offense per game. UCF also finished the regular season ranked second in the nation in 4th-down conversions, moving the chains on 81.82 percent of its attempts. The Knights finished the 2021 regular season with an 8-4 overall record and a spot in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl against Florida.

Prior to UCF, Kinne spent a season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Hawai’i, where he helped guide the Warriors to a 28-14 victory over the University of Houston in the New Mexico Bowl.

Kinne was a three-year starter at the University of Tulsa from 2009-11 where he threw for 9,472 yards and 81 touchdowns. As a junior, he led Tulsa to a victory over Hawai'i in the 2010 Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl and a final No. 24 national ranking. He was named the 2010 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year and was a second-team All-Conference USA selection in 2011.

Named the MVP of the inaugural 2012 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, Kinne had stints playing with the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the New York Giants, as well as the Saskatchewan Roughriders and later with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Following his playing days, Kinne spent a season as an offensive assistant with the Eagles, where he assisted the offensive staff with game planning for a squad that won the NFC East division title with a 9-7 mark. Originally from Mesquite, Texas, Kinne earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Sports Science from Tulsa in 2011. His father, Gary Joe, was a linebacker at Baylor, a longtime Texas high school football coach, and spent time on the Baylor staff. Kinne and his wife, Summer, have one son, Lincoln.
