Interview: Kent State head coach Sean Lewis reflects on first year, future of the program

Sean Lewis makes for an intimidating figure on the sideline.

Lewis is fairly tall, rivaling some of the tallest players on the team at six-foot-seven, looking every part of a former Wisconsin tight end. His luxurious, flowing red beard and piercing eyes commands quite the presence whenever his football team takes the field.

For all the intensity about his persona on the field, Lewis has found himself to be an amiable and relatable figure off of it; someone who is easy to get along with. At 33, Lewis is still the youngest head coach at the FBS level, even with a year under his belt, and it is this combination of intensity and confidence which makes Lewis an intriguing head coaching prospect.
