A native of Verona, Pa., Mauro was a linebacker on the 1964 and 1965 Hoosiers. Prior to the 1966 season, he moved from linebacker to center, where he started on IU's 1967 Rose Bowl team. After earning his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1968, Mauro worked as an Indiana graduate assistant that season and returned to the Hoosiers as an assistant freshman coach in 1971, and an assistant on the varsity staff in 1972. He followed his college coach, John Pont, to Northwestern for four years before returning to IU and head coach Lee Corso's staff in 1977 as the guards and centers coach. After four years in that capacity, he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1982.
