He has the vision and passion to elevate our program,” Coryell said. “We believe he will inspire our student-athletes to achieve greatness on and off the field.”
Known for his innovative offensive strategies, Kinne is expected to implement a fast-paced, high-scoring style of play that resonates with today’s game.
