Gus Malzahn hires former Arkansas analyst as new UCF co-OC, QB coach
Gus Malzahn continues to assemble his UCF coaching staff.
Hours after announcing a former Auburn analyst would coach UCF’s special teams and tight ends, Malzahn announced that former Arkansas analyst GJ Kinne will be the Knights’ co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Kinne started his college playing career at Texas, committing to the Longhorns in December of 2006. He transferred to Tulsa but had to sit out the 2008 season due to transfer rules. Malzahn was on staff at Tulsa in 2007 and ’08 before he took the offensive coordinator position at Auburn ahead of the 2009 season.
After playing professionally in the NFL (2012-15) and CFL (2016), Kinne got into coaching, joining Chad Morris, his former offensive coordinator at Tulsa, at SMU. Kinne followed Morris to Arkansas, taking an analyst position on the Razorback staff.
Kinne was an offensive assistant for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019 but returned to college football for the 2020 season, serving as offensive coordinator at Hawaii under head coach Todd Graham, who coached him at Tulsa.

Oh man, the first sign of Malzahn screwup. Bringing over a Morris guy. Hilarious. Yeah, we saw that expert analysis in those four total wins over G5s at Arky. There you go UCF, its already started.
He only wants yes people working for him.
And he’s taking control of the defense as well. Travis Williams is a good guy but its too soon to make him a DC. So Gus will be meddling there as well.
Now there’s 2 places Gus can mess up.
By the way, what do mean “ the first”?
We have been watching his screw ups since Jeremy Johnson in 2015.
And it never let up after that.
Oh yeah, one more thing…stop the UCF updates SDS. Its the SEC.
Amen to all your comments.
Some people like to hire coaches from the Saban tree. Gus Malzahn is the only one who is,obsessed with hiring the disciples of Chad Morris.
He just hires his cronies and HS coaches He has not learned anything. And he won’t.
Just like this site. Gus doesn’t work for AU anymore. And SDS hasn’t learned that. And they won’t.
They do seem obsessed with formers. They were posting more articles about Urban Meyer as Gator news than actual Gator news for awhile.
