this might be the most spot on comparison I’ve ever seen 😭 Mark Carney’s rise to Kent State’s head coach is a genuine feel-good story in college football. He joined as tight ends coach back in 2023, moved up to offensive coordinator in 2024, and got thrown into the fire as interim head coach in April 2025 after Kenni Burns was fired. He didn’t just hold the fort either, he led a five-win improvement, the second-largest turnaround in program history, and got the interim tag removed in October after winning over the administration and the locker room. From tight ends coach to the 24th head coach in program history in under three years, that’s the kind of climb that doesn’t happen very often. Do you agree with this comparison?
