Longtime wrestling coach and administrator Jack Maughan returned to his alma mater as North Dakota State University's senior associate director of athletics for development in 2012.  He was appointed as the sport supervisor for the Bison wrestling program in 2015.

The head coach at Northern Colorado for 22 years, Maughan moved into a role as UNC's director of development in 2008.  During his career at UNC, he was part of a fundraising effort that secured $5 million for wrestling scholarships and facilities.

Maughan was just 24 years old when he began as UNC's head coach in 1987-88.  He inherited a team that was winless before his arrival and in his third season went 9-6 with a 10th place national finish to earn the 1990 North Central Conference coach of the year award.

UNC went on to finish third in the nation in 1991, and he was the Division II national coach of the year with a fourth-place finish as host of the 1992 national tournament.  Maughan was instrumental in bringing the NCAA championship back to Greeley in 1996, an event that broke the tournament's paid attendance record.

A past president of the Division II Wrestling Coaches Association (1997-99) and the National Wrestling Coaches Association (2002-05), he served on the NWCA board of directors for 10 years.  He played a key role in the formation of the Western Wrestling Conference, which began competition in the 2006-07 season.

Maughan was also head coach of the UNC women's golf team from 1995 to 2006 and the men's golf team from 1995-2003.  He was the North Central Conference women's golf coach of the year in 2000 and 2001, and the National Golf Coaches Association regional coach of the year in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

The son of Hall of Fame NDSU wrestling coach Bucky Maughan, Jack Maughan was a two-time Division II All-American for the Bison with sixth-place finishes at 126 pounds as a sophomore in 1984 and 134 pounds as a junior in 1985.  He was part of four North Central Conference championship teams that finished in the top six nationally each year.

Maughan was the NDSU student body president in 1985-86 and 1986-87.  He graduated from NDSU in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and earned a master's degree in physical education from Northern Colorado in 1989.

He and his wife, Brenda, reside in Fargo with their three sons, Henry, Gus and Sam.
