Warren spent 9 seasons as the Dolphins head coach, and finished in the top 5 of the Atlantic Sun five of those seasons.

Warren's first year at Jacksonville saw the Dolphins finish the season with only eight healthy players. They struggled to a 1–26 record, the worst performance in school history. In Warren's second year, the Dolphins pulled off the biggest turnaround in the country – improving from one win to a 15-14 record and a third place finish in the A-Sun.

However, Warren and the Dolphins have had losing seasons in each of the last 3 years, failing to get past the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.

Warren was 126-150 in his 9 seasons as Dolphins head coach.
