Ed Mestieri enters his 18th year of coaching at Colby and his third as head coach of the Mules. Mestieri was named Division II/III Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston after leading the Mules to a 7-1 record in the 2005 season. He has a 13-3 record in two years after going 6-2 in his first season as head coach. Mestieri has also helped Colby win the coveted Colby-Bates-Bowdoin (CBB) Championship in both seasons as head coach.

Mestieri had served as Colby offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator before becoming head coach after the retirement of former coach Tom Austin.

During Mestieri's association with the Colby program, the Mules have amassed a 82-61-1 record and have won or shared 14 CBB titles, with 12 of those won outright.

Mestieri came to Colby from Norwich University in Vermont, where he was offensive coordinator and line coach for the football team and coach of men's and women's outdoor track and field. Prior to Norwich, he was assistant backfield coach at Dartmouth College and assistant defensive line and linebacker coach at Kent State University in Ohio.

A native of Wareham, Mass., Mestieri is a graduate of Springfield College, where he played varsity football for four years. He lives in Fairfield, Maine, with his family.
