In 2010, Waldron served as the wide receivers coach for the Hartford Colonials of the United Football League.

Prior to his stint in the UFL, Waldron worked with the New England Patriots for a number of years.

During his time there he helped coach an offense that included Brady Quinn, Darius Walker and Jeff Samardzija.
