Cosgrove lead the Division I University of Maine Black Bears to five NCAA postseason appearances and three conference titles before stepping down in 2015 after 23 years.

In his introduction at Colby, Cosgrove said he plans to coach the Division III Mules just as hard ever, and he is happy to have football back in his life.
