A ring R is called Gorenstein hereditary (G-hereditary) if every submodule of a projective module is Gorenstein projective (i.e. Ggldim(R) <= 1). In this paper, we settle a question raised by Mahdou and Tamekkante in [On (strongly) Gorenstein (semi) hereditary rings, Arab. J. Sci. Eng. 36 (2011) 436] about the coherence of G-hereditary rings. It is shown that a ring R is Gorenstein semihereditary if and only if every finitely generated submodule of a projective module is Gorenstein projective. As a consequence of this result, we have that every G-hereditary ring R is coherent.
