Deion Sanders is hiring Kent State head coach Sean Lewis as his offensive coordinator at Colorado, sources tell On3.

Lewis confirmed the news during a 7 p.m. meeting at Kent.

Lewis had been the Golden Flashes’ head coach since 2018, posting a 24-31 overall record and a 19-17 mark against MAC opponents. After a 2-10 first season, Lewis led Kent State to a 22-21 overall record and 18-10 mark in conference play the last four years.

The Golden Flashes, who hadn’t won more than four games since 2012 prior to Lewis being hired, were a combined 9-3 against MAC opponents in 2019 and ’20.
