Mike Haywood may have had the shortest head coaching stint in college football history.

He bolted Miami (OH) for Pittsburgh but was fired by the school roughly two weeks after being hired.

Why? Haywood was arrested on charges of domestic battery after an altercation on New Year's Eve with the mother of his son.

In fact, the misdemeanor was upgraded to a Class A felony over the weekend, and Haywood is facing anywhere between six and 18 months if convicted.

Now the latest news on Haywood's case is that it will indeed go to trial.

"Right now we do believe we have sufficient enough evidence to go to trial," St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael A. Dvorak told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "We wouldn't have filed the charge if a conviction wasn't possible."
