Coleman led Auburn with six sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss in 2008. He finished the season with 46 tackles (29 solo, 17 assists) and had a team-high 13 quarterback hurries, as well as a forced fumble and a pass break-up. He was named the SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week following Auburn's 14-12 victory over Tennessee September 27 after completing four tackles including a sack and 1.6 tackles for loss.

Coleman was named to the ESPN.com 2009 preseason All-SEC first-team.[3] Despite having a cast on his right hand the first 7 weeks of the season, Coleman still finished as the best pass rusher in the SEC,[4] finishing the 2009 season ranked 1st in sacks[5] and 2nd in tackles for loss.[6]
