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.

Muller alerta time que corre risco no Brasileirão: “Não sabe como sair”
Muller em entrevista feita no "Benja Me Mucho" (Reprodução - YouTube) Muller ligou de vez o alerta sobre o rendimento do Santos na disputa do Brasileirão. Em comentário feito no programa “Gazeta Esportiva” desta segunda (28), o ex-atacante sinalizou que o alvinegro vai precisar de reforços para não sofrer de forma perigosa na briga contra o rebaixamento. Na avaliação dele, a diretoria precisa encontrar alternativas para se reforçar no mercado, uma vez que não tem condições financeiras das mais privilegiadas, e deve ficar preocupada sobre a sequência negativa na primeira leva de jogos no certame de 38 rodadas. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Santos não tem dinheiro, mas cabe a parceria em contratação, se não vai ficar pelo caminho de novo. Essa poupança de derrota ou vitória no começo, faz diferença lá na frente. Time grande não sabe como sair da zona […]
Commanders shuffle kickers by signing Matt Gay, releasing Zane Gonzalez: Sources
Matt Gay is inking a one-year deal to join the Washington Commanders as the team’s new kicker, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.The deal will see Gay earn $4.35 million fully guaranteed and is worth up to $5 million with incentives, according to a league source. Gay will earn the most guaranteed money on a one-year deal for a kicker in NFL history, according to NFL Network.AdvertisementIn a corresponding move, the Commanders released kicker Zane Gonzalez, according to a league source. He was the team’s kicker throughout its run to the NFC Championship Game — making the game-winning 37-yard kick to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round — and played in six regular-season games for Washington. In March, Gonzalez had signed a one-year, $1.17 million deal. The release will save the team $1.030 million against the […]
The Penguins, after 2 years, are officially Kyle Dubas’ team
There is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins these days.One certainty, though, is the amount of power Kyle Dubas wields. Unlike in the previous two years, the Penguins president and general manager is using his power liberally.We are nearly two years into Dubas’ reign. While he did execute some flashy and regrettable moves in his first few months on the job — the Erik Karlsson trade, the Reilly Smith trade, the Ryan Graves signing, the Noel Acciari signing and the Tristan Jarry contract extension, to name a few — there was always the sense that he was just getting comfortable. He was trying to fit in. He didn’t want to exert his power too much at first because he was something of an outsider. Yes, he was placed in a very prominent role, but there was a feeling-out process.AdvertisementIt […]

Maple Leafs roster updates vs. Senators: Likely lines and big questions for Game 5
TORONTO — The Maple Leafs have returned home for Game 5 against the Senators with a chance to close the series out — something that’s been so difficult for this core to do.The Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and deserve credit for being in that place. But not putting the Senators to bed for good in Game 4 meant this stat reared its ugly head: The Leafs have now won just one elimination game in 12 opportunities, dating back to 2019. And so while the talk of demons around this team might still be premature in this series, it’s not as if we haven’t seen a version of this script before.AdvertisementCan the Leafs respond with a sense of urgency not just to start, but through every period in Game 5? A win this early in the series would […]
2026 NFL Draft: Which teams have most picks heading into loaded class? Patriots, Browns, Eagles lead way
Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft has finally completed, with a flurry of action between the 32 teams that put a majority in position for draft capital for what is expected to be a stacked 2026 class. This year's draft class was deeper in the later rounds, but with players getting paid more in college through NIL and the last of the six-year seniors through the COVID era, 2025 didn't feature the top-end talent as a typical draft year would have. That will all change in 2026, with the six-year seniors essentially coming to an end and the first wave of NIL players going through four years of college, the draft class is expected to be loaded with top-end talent and as deep as it's ever been. Plenty of teams stocked the cupboard with draft picks for this scenario, and this isn't counting […]
