Career
Mudra had an unorthodox coaching style. Throughout his days as a head coach, Mudra worked from the press box while a game was being played rather the sideline as most coaches do.
Adams State
Mudra was the ninth head football coach for the Adams State College Grizzlies located in Alamosa, Colorado and he held that position for four seasons, from 1959 until 1962.[1] His coaching record at Adams State was 32 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie. As of the conclusion of the 2007 season, this ranks him fourth at Adams State in total wins and second at Adams State in winning percentage (.878).[2]
