Tough loss, he was a great ambassador for the university

By far, the Best HC (in any sport) at Middle Tennessee in our 110 year history!!! His impact in T&F both outdoor and indoor was huge. It is not an understatement to say that he will definitely be missed as an Ambassador for MT.

Sorry for your loss, Raider Nation. Condolences from Herd Nation.

Wow, he was coaching there almost as long as I've been alive (I was born in 1964). RIP coach. The conference needs to name the track and field championship trophy after him.

Tough loss my condolences. Did he have a Stockstill-type contract?

No but he definitely earned that type of contract:

“ Overall, Hayes has guided the programs to 29 OVC titles, 19 Sun Belt championships, and 20 NCAA Top 25 finishes. Fifty-three of his student-athletes have earned a total of 125 All-America honors, five have become national champions six times and a number of them have gone on to compete internationally in the Olympic Games, World University Games, World Championships, Goodwill Games, Pan-American Games and African Championships.

In Conference USA, Hayes claimed seven titles, five with the women and two with the men's team. Most recently, sweeping the 2021 men's and women's cross country championships.”
