KENT, Ohio - Kent State University Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen has announced that football head coach Paul Haynes' contract will not be renewed.
"Making a coaching change is never easy," stated Nielsen. "As an alum, Paul gave his all for this university and to Golden Flashes football, and moved the program forward in many ways. We thank Paul and his family for their service and commitment to Kent State student-athletes."
Haynes recently completed his fifth season as head coach, inheriting the program following Darrell Hazell's exit in December 2012. He finishes his tenure with an overall record of 14-45, 9-30 in Mid-American Conference play.
