Kent State head football coach Sean Lewis shocked the college football world on Monday evening, as ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported the five-year leader of the Golden Flashes accepted an offer to be the offensive coordinator at the University of Colorado.
Lewis is the first reported hire at the FBS level for Deion Sanders, who accepted the head coaching job at Colorado earlier this week after three seasons at the SWAC’s Jackson State University.
If confirmed, Lewis will finish his Kent State career with a record of 24-31 over five seasons, with a MAC East division title and MAC Championship Game appearance in 2021.
