DETROIT: Kent State football coach Paul Haynes has brought the African term “ubuntu” to his team, and his players love it.
The Golden Flashes posted a 3-9 overall record in 2015 and finished last in the Mid-American Conference East Division with a 2-6 mark.
With a tough season in the past, Haynes and the Flashes are seeking a turnaround in 2016 with 21 returning starters.
“I heard the term ubuntu for the first time a number of years ago, but then I started researching it and looking into it on what it really means and what it is about, and I think it fits our team this year,” Haynes said Thursday during the Mid-American Conference Football Media Day at Ford Field in Detroit.
