Under Haywood, the Tigers went 2-9 in 2018 and 8-25 overall in three full seasons. In the SWAC play, TSU never won more than four games in a year since Haywood’s first season in 2016.
Haywood, who was the MAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading Miami-Ohio to a 9-4 record, has an overall coach record of 18-40.
Haywood was hired as the head coach at Pittsburgh but was fired nearly three weeks later after being charged on domestic battery allegations. Those charges were dropped after Haywood underwent a pre-trial dismissal hearing.
Ironically, Haywood took over for former TSU head coach Darrell Asberry who resigned after a 12–31 record in four years at TSU.
