UKIAH – Along with guiding the Mendocino College football program, Tom Gang will now have additional duties by serving as the interim athletic director.

Gang took over the athletic director duties this month, after previous athletic director Gary Garabato left for another athletic director position.

“Tom Gang has proven his leadership and organizational abilities with our football program. I am very confident he will bring the same qualities to the job of interim AD,” said Mendocino College Vice President of Education and Student Services Meridith Randall.

Garabato, who served as the Mendocino College athletic director for the last 18 months, left to take the same position at College of Marin.

Gang just finished his fifth season as head football coach and has led Mendocino to two Bay-Valley Conference Championships in 2005 and 2007.

“It is a honor to serve this college in this capacity,” Gang said.

The search for a permanent athletic director will begin this spring.
