KENT, Ohio (AP) -Kent State coach Doug Martin signed a four-year contract Monday after leading the Golden Flashes to second place in Mid-American Conference East Division.
Martin just finished his third season at Kent State. He had two years left on his contract and is now under contract through the 2010 season.
Kent State (6-6, 5-3 MAC) won only one game the year before. Five straight wins in September and October had the school in contention for the conference title for the first time in years.
