They were led by second-year head coach Everett Withers and played their home games at Bridgeforth Stadium and Zane Showker Field. They were a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). The Dukes finished the regular season 9âÂÂ2 to share the CAA championship with William & Mary and Richmond, who all finished with identical 6âÂÂ2 conference records. They received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs, where they lost in the second round to Colgate and finish the season 9âÂÂ3.
On January 6, 2016, Withers resigned to become the head coach at Texas State. He finished at James Madison with a two-year record of 18âÂÂ7.
