The decision to release Thomas, who just finished his fifth year as head coach his 12th with the Colonels was announced Friday.

The Colonels' only wins in the 2009 campaign came against Duquense (3-7), a winless Northwestern State (0-10) team and Southeastern Louisiana (6-5) on Thursday night to close out the season.
A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
