The team had 7 head coaches since its first recorded football game in 1993 until the program was discontinued after the 2018 season. The final head coach was Fred Thomas who took the position beginning with the 2015 season after serving as the assistant coach for the program in 2014. The university announced in February 2019 that it had voted to cancel the program after 26 seasons as a cost-cutting measure.
