"Coach Mumford set the standard (for Southern University) for many years. He is a legend, not just at Southern, but the entire state of Louisiana. Coach Mumford's impact was the high standards he set for all his teams. He helped every student-athlete he ever coached by making sure they understood their role as a student-athlete at Southern, and made sure they reaped some of the benefits of their education after graduation." Southern University head coach Pete Richardson |
