Peace put out a statement on the Dorados social media account on Tuesday morning.
Most receently, Peace and the Dorados finished an undefeated season by winning the Class 4A Arizona state title.
In all, he had a record of 119-50 after starting as an assistant coach under Pat Nugent. Peace played linebacker at Northern Arizona University for two seasons after graduating from Flowing Wells in 2000.
