KENT, Ohio – Kent State University head coach Paul Haynes has taken a medical leave of absence from the Golden Flashes program. Haynes is expected to return to the team in two to three weeks.

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Don Treadwell will serve as interim head coach during Haynes' time away.

"We fully support head coach Paul Haynes during his leave," said Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haynes family as we look forward to his return to Kent State."

Kent State begins the season Sept. 2 at Clemson. The Flashes will make their home debut on Sept. 9 against Howard.
