Joe D’Amore is stepping down as the head coach of the Lancer Football program after eight seasons effective immediately.

D’Amore was the fourth head coach in the Lancers’ 50-year history of the football program, following a one year-stint as the interim head coach in 2011.

The Windsor native led the Lancers to four straight OUA playoff appearances from 2011-14 and was the Tuffy Knight Award winner as the OUA Football Coach of the Year in 2011 after his team finished with a 5-3 record and advanced to the OUA semi-finals.

“I would like to thank Joe for his hard work and his contributions to Lancer Football over the past eight seasons,” said Director of Athletics Mike Havey. “He is a true Lancer who was committed as both a coach and as a student-athlete to represent the University of Windsor with great pride and spirit. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

The University of Windsor will begin a national search immediately for the next head coach of the Lancer Football program.
