The Jermaine Wiggins Era at Brockton High lasted less than a year.

In the spring, Brockton hired Wiggins to replace Peter Colombo as the football coach. After one season, Wiggins is out.

This fall, in Wiggins’ only season, the Boxers went 3-8, which included a 1-5 start. The Boxers did not beat a team with a winning record, and lost in blowout fashion to Barnstable, Andover and Pinkerton Academy of Derry, N.H.

Word began to leak out last week that Wiggins had stepped down. Reached late last week by text, Wiggins denied the rumors. Wednesday afternoon, Brockton athletic director Kevin Karo said all inquiries regarding Wiggins were being handled by the school’s communication department, who didn’t respond to an email request for comment.

The Brockton Enterprise reported that Kelsey Lynch, the assistant director of Marketing and Communications, confirmed that Wiggins had indeed resigned.

A local schoolboy star at East Boston High School, Wiggins played his college football at Marshall and Georgia. He went on to play for the Patriots and was part of their first Super Bowl title. Upon retirement, Wiggins has made a living in the media business and is currently employed by WEEI on its morning show.

His hire at Brockton raised a few eyebrows. Wiggins had zero coaching experience, either as a head coach or an assistant.

Wiggins was hired late in the process, and started a lineup that was heavy on underclassmen. Even with a young team, it was somewhat unexpected that the team struggled to the degree it did.

But now that’s over, and Brockton is back to square one.
