Mauer, cousin of Twins catcher Joe Mauer, replaces former Vikings quarterback Brooks Bollinger, who resigned after one season to become the quarterbacks coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Under Bollinger, the Pioneers reached the Class 4A state tournament semifinals.
Mauer most recently coached at Concordia University in St. Paul. He stepped down as football coach in June 2011 after seven seasons. Mauer compiled the most victories (40) in program history.
Mauer coached the Golden Bears to the 2005 NSIC championship and earned NSIC Coach of the Year honors in the process. He also coached the team to a pair of Mineral Water Bowl appearances (2005, 2010). Under Mauer, Concordia posted three winning seasons and finished .500 or better four times in conference play.
Hill-Murray's announcement Tuesday also said that Mauer will serve as major-gifts officer in the school's advancement department.
