Early life
Haywood was born in Houston, Texas. He attended St. Thomas High School in Houston and then the University of Notre Dame where he played as a wide receiver wearing jersey #1.
Early coaching career
Haywood served as an assistant at several college football programs, most notably under Nick Saban at LSU, under Mack Brown at Texas and under Charlie Weis at his alma mater Notre Dame. In December 2007, Haywood was considered one of the two leading candidates for the head coaching position at the University of Houston, alongside Jack Pardee.[1] However, the job eventually went to Kevin Sumlin.
Miami (OH)
In December 2008, Haywood was named the head coach of the Miami RedHawks.[2] He replaced Shane Montgomery. After going 1–11 in his first season, Haywood led the Redhawks to an 8–4 record in his second season and a MAC East title. The Redhawks then emerged victorious in the 2010 MAC Championship Game against Northern Illinois University, winning by a final score of 26–21. He was named the 2010 Mid-American Conference football coach of the year.[3]
Pittsburgh
On December 16, 2010, Haywood was offered and accepted the head football coaching position at the University of Pittsburgh.[4] However, Haywood was arrested in South Bend, Indiana on December 31, 2010, on felony domestic violence charges.[5] He was released on bond on January 1, 2011, and only hours later was fired by Pitt.[6] In February 2012, the domestic violence charges were dismissed after Haywood completed pre-trial diversion requirements, counseling, and public service.
Coaching interviews
Haywood interviewed for the Tulane head coaching position in November 2011.[7] However, the job went to Curtis Johnson.
Texas Southern
On December 3, 2015, Haywood was offered and accepted the head football coaching position at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas.[8] He replaced Darrell Asberry who resigned after a 12–31 record in four years at Texas Southern.
