Mike Perrone finished his first season as an assistant coach with the Union College football team in 2025, working primarily with the outside linebackers.
In his first year in Schenectady, Perrone was a key part of the Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year that engineered the second-largest turnaround in Division III. The team went from a 3-7 record in 2024 to an 8-2 regular-season record and the program's 14th NCAA Tournament appearance in 2025, completing the program's fourth undefeated conference slate (and second 7-0 finish) and ending the regular season on an eight-game winning streak. Union boasted three All-Conference players from its linebacking corps, including first-teamer John Droggitis.

Perrone came to Schenectady after spending nine years at Warrensburg Central School, coaching the Wolverines from 2016-21 and continuing over the last three seasons after merging programs with several other local schools. A two-time Section II Class D Coach of the Year, he led Warrensburg to three Section II championships and one state semifinal appearance while the Warrensburg-Lake George/Bolton team started the 2024 season ranked first in New York State.

Perrone played football collegiately at the former Castleton State University (now VTSU Castleton), recording 95 tackles in three seasons at linebacker for the Spartans from 2012-14.
