NEW: David Bailiff joins GJ Kinne's staff at Texas State

Former Texas State head coach David Bailiff is rejoining the program as special assistant to the head coach under GJ Kinne, the University announced Monday afternoon.

“Coach Bailiff is a tremendous addition to our coaching staff and we are grateful to have him join the program once again,” said Kinne in a statement. “Coach is a Bobcat through-and-through, from his time as a player to serving as an assistant coach to being a championship-winning head coach. He has also been a sincere mentor of mine over years, starting back when I was a student-athlete and he was the head coach at Rice. His knowledge of this program, Texas State University and the Central Texas community will help us restore our tradition and take a step towards winning championships.”
