It’s official: Kenni Burns will be the new head football coach at Kent State.
It was only a matter of time before he got this opportunity. It was recently reported that Burns had interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at Arizona State, a job that ultimately went to Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham. He has been linked to a variety of head coaching jobs in his six years at Minnesota. Until now, no one had the good sense to hire him away from the Gophers, and the running backs room at Minnesota has reaped the benefits.
