When Paul Haynes was hired as the Kent State football coach in 2012, he said it was a dream job to return to his alma mater.
After five seasons of serving as the Flashes’ head coach, the Haynes era is over, as multiple outlets are reporting he has been let go from his position.
Haynes — who acted as Kent State's head coach from 2012-2017 — was let go less than 24 hours after the team's 24-14 loss to rival Akron.
Kent State finished with a 2-10 record this season.
Haynes amassed a record of 14-45 during his time at the helm for the Flashes, as well as a record of 9-30 in conference play.
