3, 2024, in Troy, Ala. – As GJ Kinne’s coaching star continues to rise, Texas State reportedly intends to keep him in San Marcos for a long time., Kinne and the university are finalizing details of a seven-year contract extension that would pay the 35-year-old head coach $2 million annually.In 2023, Kinne and the university agreed on a five-year extension that raised his salary slightly beyond the million-dollar mark annually.The database shows Kinne as the second-highest-paid head coach in the Sun Belt Conference behind Coastal Carolina’s Tim Beck, who is bringing in $1,050,000 in 2024. The reported new deal would make Kinne the highest-paid head coach in the conference. The university has not formally announced a new Kinne extension. Kinne’s head coaching success has been a revelation. In December 2021, he was hired at the University of the Incarnate Word to replace Eric Morris, who landed the top job at North Texas. UIW was Kinne’s first head coaching job at the college level, but he wasted little time making his mark. He led the Cardinals to a 12-1 regular season, a Southland Conference title, a No. 7 seed in the 2022 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs and an FCS Semifinal berth. It was the Cards' best season in what was then a 13-year history of the football program. Texas State took notice and enlisted Kinne to shepherd its program beginning with the 2023 season. The iron remained hot for Kinne. Last season, the Bobcats became bowl-eligible for the first time as a Football Bowl Subdivision program. They later defeated Rice in the First Responder Bowl for the program’s first bowl win on the first try. Like 2023, the Bobcats are heading into their Nov. 29 regular-season finale against South Alabama at 6-5, which means they are bowl-eligible for the second time in two years.Nate Kotisso joined KSAT as a digital journalist in 2024. He previously worked as a newspaper reporter in the Rio Grande Valley for more than two years and spent nearly three years as a digital producer at the CBS station in Oklahoma City.
