Though the NCAA's regular-season slate for Division III programs doesn't formally conclude until this week, Waynesburg University played its 10th game last week.
Turns out, that was the final contest for much of the team's staff.
Sources Tuesday tell FootballScoop that Waynesburg leadership dismissed head coach Dr. Cornelius Coleman, defensive coordinator Dave Arnold and special teams coordinator Dominic Bornman.
The Yellow Jackets capped their 2025 season with a 35-24 Senior Day win against Saint Vincent, a fellow Presidents' Athletics Conference member.
Waynsburg closed the year 4-6 overall but 4-4 in league play. While the school parted with Bornman, its first-year special teams coordinator, Waynesburg also had the PAC's Special Teams Player of the Week in Ethan Floyd, who helped block a punt, retrieve the football and score a Yellow Jackets touchdown -- his second in as many weeks.
Bornman, per the school's website, portions of which already had been scrubbed of these three coaches, also had served as Waynesburg's wide receivers coach.
Coleman's a veteran in collegiate coaching, returning to Waynesburg University four years ago after being the defensive line coach at FCS program Duquesne.
Under Coleman's leadership, he helped the program become more competitive in PAC play but could not get the Yellow Jackets to a winning season. Three of Coleman's seasons closed with identical 4-6 won-loss records; his second year was a 2-8 campaign.
Waynesburg University is located in Western Pennsylvania, just off Interstate 79 and some 50 miles south of Pittsburgh.
The program has proved a bit of a coaching graveyard for all of its leaders in the past decade-plus. No Waynesburg skipper has posted more than a four-win season since 2014. That Yellow Jackets team posted an 8-3 mark and advanced to postseason play by hosting the ECAC Southwest Bowl under former head coach Rick Shepas, whose decade at the helm stands as the program's best stretch of play.
Waynesburg has not yet finalized or posted its 2026 schedule, but with no postseason play, no game this weekend and change in leadership, the Yellow Jackets' season is over.
Offensive coordinator Phil Hamilton is the highest-ranking member of the coaching staff presently still employed by the school, per sources. Hamilton also serves as recruiting coordinator for the Yellow Jackets, who for now appear to also be keeping offensive line coach Russ Moore, Aarion Giorgi to work with running backs and Greg Johnston to work with defensive backs. Joshua Wilson now is working with specialists.
