San Antonio – December 2, 2022 – UIW Head Football Coach GJ Kinne has informed the University of the Incarnate Word that he will be leaving his position at the end of this season to pursue another opportunity. We would like to take this time to thank Coach Kinne for leading one of the most successful seasons in Cardinal football history… a season that is far from over for Coach Kinne and our UIW student-athletes. Kinne will continue to lead the team as the UIW Cardinals look to advance in the FCS playoffs and chase a National Championship. We want to invite all of San Antonio to continue to support our student-athletes as they work to achieve their ultimate goal. Go Cards!
