LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State head football coach Doug Martin announced the hiring of John Mumford Friday afternoon. Mumford replaces the outgoing Kerry Locklin, who took a job with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.
"We are excited to add a coach with the experience of Coach Mumford," Martin said. "He has excelled as not only a defensive line coach, but as a defensive coordinator and even as a head coach at the college level. Our football program just got better with this addition."
Mumford comes to New Mexico State with 35 years of experience, including 29 at the Division I level.
