Sep 9, 2023; Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA; Kent State Golden Flashes head coach Kenni Burns during the second quarter against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images Kent State fired football coach Kenni Burns on Friday on the heels of a 0-12 season in 2024.
Burns, 41, was placed on administrative leave on March 27 and departs with a 1-23 record in two seasons.
Offensive coordinator Mark Carney will serve as the Golden Flashes’ interim coach for the 2025 season.
“At this time, our focus will be to support our student-athletes and provide them with the best opportunity to have a positive and competitive experience,” athletic director Randale L. Richmond said in a statement.
The school did not provide a specific reason for Burns’ termination. CBS Sports reported in November that he was being sued by an Ohio bank for an unpaid credit card debt of nearly $24,000.
Kent State, which competes in the Mid-American Conference, was outscored by a 529-167 margin in 2024.
The Golden Flashes open the 2025 season against FCS program Merrimack on Aug. 30 in Kent, Ohio.
The school said it will conduct a national search after the season. Kent State alumnus Josh Cribbs, a three-time Pro Bowl receiver who played 10 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, publicly has expressed interest in the job.

Spurs’ Stephon Castle wins NBA Rookie of the Year award
There was no Victor Wembanyama or Paolo Banchero, no Ja Morant or Luka Dončić vying to be NBA Rookie of the Year this season, which means there was no singular candidate whose statistics, style or charisma made them the obvious choice or set them on a clear path to stardom.But there was Stephon Castle, whose availability to his team, solid play that improved over the season and surprisingly raw power as a dunker were enough to earn him billing as the league’s top rookie in a 2024 draft class that lived up to its reputation as something short of spectacular. Castle was announced the winner of this year’s award on TNT on Tuesday night, prior to Game 5 between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons.

Presidente da Câmara defende ‘camisa azul’ da seleção em polêmica envolvendo uniforme vermelho
O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), se posicionou nas redes sociais em relação à polêmica envolvendo a mudança de cor da camisa 2 da seleção brasileira. Ele postou uma imagem vestindo o uniforme azul, sinalizando ser contra a nova edição vermelha do uniforme.

"Eu respeito quem gosta de qualquer cor, não tenho preconceito com nenhuma. Mas camisa número 2 da Seleção Brasileira, pra mim, continua sendo essa daí", disse Motta em post nas redes sociais com a camisa azul da seleção. A mudança de cor do […]
