Kent State officially wrapped up its coaching search Wednesday evening.
The Golden Flashes announced Minnesota Golden Gophers assistant head coach and running backs coach Kenni Burns as the program’s new head coach. Burns succeeds Sean Lewis, who unexpectedly departed from the same position on Dec. 5 to pursue an offensive coordinator gig at Colorado. The former Minnesota assistant will be the 23rd head coach in Kent State history.
WE GOT OUR GUY! Excited to welcome @UMcoachburns and his family to Kent State!
