In May of 2021, Bill Mattingly announced he would not be returning to Butler for what would have been his 15th year as head coach. Mattingly instead retired, leaving an empty position for Butler men’s golf team. Luckily for the ‘Dawgs — they did not have to look far for the man to fill Mattingly’s shoes.

Colby Huffman, who spent all of last year as a volunteer assistant for the Bulldogs was pinned as the next head coach.
