HAYS, Kan. - Director of Athletics Dr. Lisa Goddard McGuirk has announced the hiring of Quinlin Bisbee as Fort Hays State's new Head Sports Performance Coach. Bisbee will join the Tiger staff beginning June 8, 2026.
Bisbee previously worked in strength and conditioning at Adams State University.

"It is an honor to be able to step into the role of Head Sport Performance Coach and have the opportunity to improve the abilities of all of our athletes both on and off the playing surface. I want to say thank you to all those that have supported me in my career, allowing me to grow and become the man and coach that I am."

Quinlin's experience leading a collegiate-level strength and conditioning program reflects a deep understanding that elite performance requires an individualized approach tailored to the unique demands of each sport, position and student-athlete. His philosophy, centered on comprehensive sports performance, recovery and long-term athletic development, focuses on maximizing performance while prioritizing the overall well-being and success of our student-athletes. Equally important, Quinlin values strong collaboration with coaches, sports medicine staff, and administrators to create a unified and holistic performance environment."
