Burroughs, a Coppin alum, posted a 22-95 record in his four seasons while going 20-44 in MEAC games.

The Eagles finished this past season with a 3-26 overall record with all three wins coming in conference play.
A Coppin State alum, Burroughs returned to his alma mater after serving as coach at the University of the District of Columbia.
“We would like to thank Coach Burroughs for his service and dedication to Coppin State University as a head coach and a proud alum,” athletic director Derek Carter said.
