JASON MUNOZ
ASST. FOOTBALL COACH - OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/RECEIVERS

Jason Munoz is entering his third season as an assistant coach at Colorado School of Mines and will once again work with the Oredigger wide receivers.

In addition, he will serve as the offensive coordinator in 2006 as he was promoted to serve in that capacity in early March.

Last season, Munoz once again helped the CSM receivers post another brilliant season as the group totaled 292 catches for 3,445 yards and 24 scores. Individually, Munoz helped develop Justin Gallas who caught 91 passes for 1,199 yards and eight scores en route to First Team All-RMAC, All-Region and All-American honors. He was also one of 24 finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy presented annually to the top player in Division II.

In 2004, Munoz helped the Oredigger wide receiver corps produce the greatest season in school history. Both Jonny Chan and Justin Gallas topped the 1,300-yard mark and were honored as All-RMAC, All-Region and All-American honorees. Chan finished the year with 84 catches for a school-record 1,376 yards and a school-record 12 scores, while Gallas caught a school-record 95 balls for 1,352 yards and 10 touchdowns.

As a group, CSM receivers caught 401 passes for 4,766 yards and 40 touchdowns.

A native of Stillwater, Okla., Munoz came to CSM after serving as a wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator at California Lutheran for the past four seasons. Prior to that, he was a student and graduate assistant from 1997-2000 at Oklahoma State where he worked with the wide receivers and quarterbacks.

Munoz earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Oklahoma State in 1998.

He resides in Longmont with his wife, Andra, and their two children, Max and Brooks.
