Justin Sinz begins his first season as Saints Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach in 2025.
Sinz, a former NCAA Division I football player with the Purdue Boilermakers, was a team captain and Mackey Award Semifinalist, the prestigious FBS football award for the best tight ends in the country.
After his collegiate career, Sinz enjoyed a stint in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts before he returned to his alma mater to begin his coaching career with the Boilermakers. Sinz was a graduate assistant and helped coach the offensive line and tight ends units when Purdue won the 2017 Foster Farms Bowl.
Sinz was on the Boilermakers' staff as an offensive analyst, working with the offensive line, and was the assistant recruiting coordinator when the Boilermakers won nine games in 2021, including the Music City Bowl game versus Tennessee. This version of the Purdue football team, affectionately known as the "Spoilermakers", earned top five wins over #2 ranked Iowa and #3 ranked Michigan State. This was followed up by Purdue's first Big Ten West crown in 2022. The Purdue offense ranked second in the Big Ten in passing both seasons, including fifth nationally in 2021 with 355.4 passing yards per game.
Most recently, Sinz was the Purdue tight ends coach and helped produce 3rd Team All-Big 10 tight end Max Klare, while recruiting top prospects from across the country.
Sinz completed both his undergraduate and masters degrees at Purdue university and has an impressive list of connections throughout the football world such as Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame Head Coach), Lou Anarumo (Indianapolis Colts Defensive Coordinator), and Jeff Brohm (Louisville Head Coach).
Sinz joins the Duluth community with his wife Connie and three children.
