| Will Wagner (2011-Present) |
West Texas native Will Wagner, formerly the assistant head coach at perennial NCAA Division II powerhouse Northwest Missouri State University, was named Angelo State's head football coach in December.
Athletics Director Kathleen Brasfield announced the appointment of the seventh football coach to lead the Angelo State University Rams. She said Wagner will bring solid coaching and administrative credentials to the job because of his experience at Northwest Missouri State, one of the most successful Division II programs in the country for more than a decade.
Since joining the Northwest Missouri staff in 1998, Will Wagner has helped lead the Bearcats to 10 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) championships, seven national championship games and three national titles. During his tenure, the Bearcats were 108-8 (.931) in the 12-member MIAA.
Complete Bio It didn't take long for Dale Carr to find success at ASU. After an outstanding coaching career at Tyler Junior College, Carr became the fourth ASU head coach to lead the Rams to the postseason as he posted a 9-2 regular-season record in his debut. His nine wins in 2005 marked the most ever by an ASU head coach in his first year. Replicating that success proved difficult however, as Carr's teams posted sub-.500 records in each of the next three seasons before a 6-5 mark in 2009 and a 5-5 record in 2010, Carr's final season.
| Jerry Vandergriff (1982-2004) |
Coach Vandergriff is the winningest coach in ASU history, establishing that mark with a win over Central Oklahoma in 1993. He guided the Rams to four NCAA playoff appearances, including the semifinal round in 1989. Vandergriff also has the distinction of being the only ASU coach to be honored by the Lone Star Conference with the Coach of the Year honor three times. He won the award in 1984, 1987 and 1997.
Before heading to Stephen F. Austin and New Mexico State, Jim Hess coached the Rams for eight seasons. He led the Rams to the NAIA national title in 1978 and has the school's top all-time winning percentage. The Rams reached the NAIA playoffs three times under Hess' guidance.
| James Cameron (1972-1973) |
Jim Cameron established his mark on ASU football in part on the field and in part in the coaching legacy he left behind. Cameron brought former defensive coordinator Mike Martin along with him from Howard Payne University when he became the Rams' head coach. Cameron led the Rams to an appearance in the Ardmore Shrine Bowl in 1972. Cameron passed away in 1995.
One of the great collegiate coaching legends of all-time, Teaff got his start at Angelo State before heading to Baylor to establish the dynasty there. Teaff led the Rams to three consecutive winning seasons and a 38-21 win over the number-one ranked Javelinas of Texas A&I in 1970. Teaff is now the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association, headquartered in Waco.
| Max Bumgardner (1964-1968) |
Coach "Bum" guided the Ram fortunes from 1950 to 1968 and led the Rams to three bowl appearances. He compiled a career 74-74-2 record in his years at ASU, including his stint as head coach of the San Angelo College Rams as well as the inaugural years of senior college competition. Coach Bumgardner also recruited and coached former Ram mentor Jerry Vandergriff during his years as a player at San Angelo College. Bum passed away in 2005.
