WATERVILLE — Colby College head football coach Jonathan Michaeles resigned over the weekend, ending a six-year run leading the Mules.

Colby announced the move in a post on its athletics Facebook page. “It has been a great honor to serve as Colby’s head football coach,” Michaeles said in the post. “I am proud of the impact our team was able to have in the Colby and Waterville communities.”

Before becoming head coach, Michaeles was an assistant coach on the Colby football staff for eight seasons.

This past fall Colby went 1-8, beating rival Bowdoin in the final game of the season. In six seasons, Michaeles had a record of 14-35. His best mark was 4-4 in 2013. The Mules finished in a three-way tie for the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin title that season. Colby’s last outright win of the series came in 2005.

A request for comment from Michaeles and Athletic Director Jacob Olkkola was not returned.
