Michael Anthony Haywood (born February 26, 1964) is the head football coach at Texas Southern University (TSU). He previously served as the head football coach at Miami University from 2009 to 2010 and as an assistant coach at various other universities for 21 seasons. Haywood was initially hired as the head football coach at the University of Pittsburgh in December 2010, but was fired from that position shortly thereafter following domestic violence charges that were ultimately dismissed. Haywood played college football at the University of Notre Dame as a wide receiver and defensive back from 1984 to 1986.
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.
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. However, the job eventually went to Kevin Sumlin. Also during this period of his life Haywood also discovered a passion for playing golf, often spending long hours on golf ranges.
