The 2015 VMI Keydets football team represented the Virginia Military Institute in the 2015 NCAA Division I FCS football season. It was VMI's 125th football season and the Keydets were led by first year head coach Scott Wachenheim. They played their home games at 10,000–seat Alumni Memorial Field at Foster Stadium, as they have since 1962. This was VMI's second season as a member of the Southern Conference, following 11 seasons in the Big South Conference, which followed 78 years in the Southern Conference. They finished the season 2–9, 1–6 in SoCon play to finish in last place.

Personnel

=Coaching staff=

VMI will be led by first-year head coach Scott Wachenheim, a native of California and a 1984 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy.{{cite web|title=Scott Wachenheim Named VMI Head Football Coach|url=http://www.vmikeydets.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9800&ATCLID=209808191|publisher=Virginia Military Institute Department of Athletics|date=December 14, 2014|accessdate=July 26, 2015}} Wachenheim was previously the offensive line coach at Virginia under head coach Mike London. He replaces Sparky Woods, who compiled a 17–62 record in seven seasons at VMI.{{cite news |title=VMI Declines to Extend New Contract to Football Coach Sparky Woods|first=Randy|last=King|url=http://www.roanoke.com/sports/colleges/vmi-declines-to-extend-new-contract-to-football-coach-sparky/article_b58c86a4-09bf-524a-972d-887930a13de1.html|newspaper=The Roanoke Times|date=November 24, 2014|accessdate=July 26, 2015}} Shortly following a home loss to The Citadel, VMI chose not to renew Woods' contract, and several weeks later announced the hire of Wachenheim.

Wachenheim introduced an almost entirely new coaching staff his first year on post. Coordinating the offense is Dustin Ward, while the defensive coordinator is Tom Clark who served two stints at William & Mary as a defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach.{{cite web|title=2015 VMI Football Quick Facts|url=http://www.vmikeydets.com/pdf9/3659706.pdf?ATCLID=210184815&SPSID=43765&SPID=3895&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=9800|publisher=Virginia Military Institute Department of Athletics|date=July 6, 2015|accessdate=July 27, 2015}} There were only two holdovers from Woods' staff: wide receivers and tight ends coach Brad Robbins, and linebackers coach Justin Hamilton, a 2006 graduate of Virginia Tech. Also new to the staff is running backs coach Tim Maypray, who played football at VMI and graduated in 2010 before a brief stint in the Canadian Football League.
