RANDY MANN, VICE PRESIDENT FOR ATHLETICS

Randy Mann was promoted to Vice President for Athletics in May of 2012 after serving as full- time Associate Athletic Director for four years. He spent the previous eight years serving as head men’s golf coach and associate AD. Coach Mann guided the Cru to the American Southwest Conference championship in 2008 and closed out his coaching career by guiding the Cru to the first NCAA Division III National Tournament berth in the program’s history. Mann also led the Cru to ASC championships in 2005 and 2001. The first conference championship was the first conference title in the history of the UMHB men’s golf program. The Crusaders never fin- ished lower than fourth in the ASC Tournament during Mann’s tenure in Belton. The Crusaders also narrowly missed earning the first NCAA Division III National Championship berth in the program’s history in the spring of 2004, although Dillon Gooch qualified as an individual to become the first UMHB men’s golfer to compete in the NCAA Division III National Tournament.

Coach Mann came to UMHB from Temple High School, where he spent the seven years as head coach of the boys and girls golf teams. Coach Mann spent a total of 19 years teaching and coaching in the Temple Independent School District. He took the Temple boys golf team to 4 district titles and 2 district runner-ups finishes in his 7 years as coach. In that same time, Coach Mann took the girls team to 3 district titles and 3 district runner-up finishes. The teams only missed the regional tournament once each during Coach Mann’s tenure.

Randy Mann is a 1980 graduate of Tarleton State University in Stephenville, and he received his master’s degree from Tarleton in 1998. He and his wife, Caroline, have three sons, Mitchell, Michael, and Marshall., and a grandson, Maverick.
