Before coming to Lincoln, Flanigan, worked three years at Mississippi Valley State and two seasons at the high school level at Prestonwood Christian (2008) and Galveston Ball (2009).

But longest tenure came when the 1992 Rider graduate spent eight seasons in Denton with the Mean Green, five as the offensive coordinator. He helped North Texas win four consecutive Sun Belt Conference championships and appear in four bowl games.

“I believe the search committee did an excellent job in identifying candidates they believed possessed the knowledge and work experience best suited for our program,” Lincoln Director of Athletics Dianthia Ford-Kee said. “He has experienced winning as a student, athlete and coach. We believe he will transfer his experiences to our program and move the program forward.”

After leaving Rider, Flanigan led the Mustangs to a 6-5 record, the school’s first winning season since 1986. He concluded his SMU career as the school’s career leader in total offense with 7,437 yards and is the only player in SMU history to pass for 5,500 or more yards and rush for at least 1,500 yards.

“Lincoln University is getting an outstanding football coach in Ramon Flanigan,” said former UNT coach Darrell Dickey, who is now the offensive coordinator at Memphis. “He possesses all the qualities and is a man of great character and integrity. Ramon leads by example and represents himself in a first-class manner.”

Lincoln competes as a Division II member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and is coming off a 1-9 season. Flanigan replaces Olabaniji Abanishe and is the Lions’ second coach since bumping up to Division II.
