Kent State is a sad sack of **** program. They fired their upsider coach Kenni Burns. Who went 1-23 in his 2 seasons. LOL
Kent State University fired football coach Kenni Burns after an investigation into multiple violations of his contract, including misuse of a university credit card and loan activity with a booster. Burns was placed on administrative leave in March and subsequently fired on April 11. Mark Carney, the offensive coordinator, is serving as interim head coach.

Burns was placed on administrative leave in March and subsequently fired on April 11. Mark Carney, the offensive coordinator, is serving as interim head coach.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Reasons for Firing:
The investigation revealed that Burns violated his contract, specifically regarding the use of a university purchasing card and a six-figure loan he received from a booster. - Booster Loan:
Burns received a loan from a university booster and vendor, Michael Awad, after telling the university his house had flooded and he needed financial assistance. - Credit Card Misuse:
The investigation also found that Burns misused his university purchasing card and failed to make required payments on a personal credit card, leading to a lawsuit against him. - Record:
Burns's two seasons as head coach were marked by poor performance, with a 1-23 overall record and an 0-16 record in the Mid-American Conference. The team also suffered a 20-game losing streak. - Administrative Leave:
Burns was placed on administrative leave in late March, with the school citing an investigation into his conduct.
