The 2014 Nicholls State Colonels football team represented Nicholls State University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Colonels were led by fifth year head coach Charlie Stubbs for the first three games then by interim head coach Steve Axman. They played their home games at John L. Guidry Stadium and are a member of the Southland Conference. The Colonels finished the season 0–12 overall and 0–8 in conference play to finish in last place.
After opening the season 0–3, head coach Charlie Stubbs resigned on September 14, citing health issues for his decision.[1] Three days later, the school named former Northern Arizona head coach Steve Axman as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[2]
On November 21, 2014, following the Colonels' season conclusion, Tim Rebowe was named the tenth head coach of the Nicholls State Colonels. Rebowe had been an assistant coach at University of Louisiana-Lafayette for eleven years as well as an assistant coach at Nicholls State for six years prior to that.[3][4]
