HEAD COACHPaulPaul

HAYNESHAYNESKent State ‘93 • 5th Season

Paul Haynes enters his fth season as head coach at Kent State University and his 12th season af liated with the program. Haynes was introduced as the Golden Flashes’ 21st head football coach on Dec. 18, 2012, 25 years after he walked on to play football at Kent State as a college freshman. In 2016, eleven Golden Flashes earned spots on the Academic All-MAC Team, while Nick Cuthbert became the second player during the Haynes era to earn Academic All-America honors in multiple seasons. Four Flashes earned all-conference honors including Najee Murray, who was selected to play in the Tropical Bowl. The 2016 season included a victory over bowl-bound Central Michigan, the program’s biggest comeback victory since 2003 and the program’s second win in Mount Pleasant since 1976. On Oct. 3, 2015, Haynes became Kent State’s rst head coach to win back-to-back homecoming games since Don James in 1973. By season’s end, ve Flashes were named to the All-MAC Team, 14 earned Academic All-MAC honors and ve were named MAC Distinguished Scholar Athletes. For the rst time in program history, two Flashes earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. In his rst season, Haynes helped produce ve All-Mid-American Conference selections, an SI.com All-American (Roosevelt Nix), an Academic All-American (Jordan Italiano) and four Academic All-MAC selections, which tied for the second most in the conference. On Aug. 29, 2013, Haynes became the rst Kent State rookie head coach to win a season opener since 1988. He was also the Flashes’ rst rookie head coach to win a MAC road opener since 1986. At the end of the season, he joined Glen Mason as the only Kent State head coaches to defeat both Miami and Ohio in their rst season.

In May of 2014, Dri Archer became just the fth Kent State player since 1974, to be selected in one of the rst three rounds of the NFL Draft. Following the 2014 season, 10 Golden Flashes earned spots on the Academic All-MAC Team, including Italiano, who was named to the Academic All-America First Team. Seven of those 10 were named Distinguished Scholar Athletes, tying Kent State for the most selections in the conference. Three Flashes earned all-conference honors, including Casey Pierce, who became just the third player in Kent State history selected to play in the Senior Bowl. “I am very excited to welcome Paul back to the Kent State family,” said Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen of the hiring of Haynes. “During our search for a new head coach, I was looking for someone who had the qualities that could carry on the recent success of the football program. Those qualities include leadership, a genuine interest in our student-athletes, integrity and an understanding of Kent State and the Mid-American Conference. Ohio recruiting ties were also very im-portant. Paul hits on every one of those areas. In hiring Paul we are also making a signi cant investment in the head coaching position here at Kent State.”Haynes, 45, spent the 2012 season as the defensive coordinator at Arkansas and also served as the secondary coach for the Razorbacks. Haynes joined the Arkansas staff in December 2011, taking over the Razorbacks’ defense when it dominated No. 11 Kansas State 29-16 in the AT&T Cotton Bowl.

Haynes spent the previous seven seasons at Ohio State, serving as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in 2011 and as defensive backs coach from 2005-10. He also worked with former Head Coach Darrell Hazell on Jim Tressel’s Ohio State staff from 2005-10. In Haynes’ seven years in Columbus, the Buckeyes compiled a 66-11 record, won six Big Ten titles and played in six consecutive BCS games. Ohio State defen-sive backs also boasted ve rst-team All-Americans and 10 rst-team All-Big Ten selections in those seasons. Nine of the defensive backs Haynes coached at Ohio State were selected in the 2006-12 NFL Drafts, including rst rounders Malcom Jenkins and Donte Whitner. In 2008, Jenkins won the Thorpe Award, as the na-tion’s best defensive back. The 2012 season at Arkansas was Haynes’ third stint on a John L.Smith coach-ing staff. He also worked under Smith at Michigan State, serving as defensive backs coach from 2003-04, and at Louisville, as defensive backs coach in 2002.This is Haynes’ second homecoming at Kent State. He spent two seasons as an assistant coach under former Golden Flashes head coach Dean Pees, who is now the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. After coaching Kent State’s defensive backs in 1999, Haynes was promoted to assistant head coach and safeties coach in 2000. Haynes then moved on to the NFL in 2001, spending one season as the defensive quality control coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Haynes’ coaching career also includes stops at Northern Iowa (running backs and secondary, 1997-98), Ferris State (defensive backs, 1995-96), Bowling Green (graduate assistant, 1994) and St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus (as-sistant coach, 1993). Known as “Ice” during his playing days, Haynes walked on at Kent State in the fall of 1987 and went on to play four years for the Golden Flashes.
