Munoz begins his ninth year as an assistant coach at Louisiana and his first as offensive coordinator after serving as the Ragin Cajuns receivers coach from 2011-15. Returning to direct the offense for the first time since serving as the Ragin Cajuns pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Munoz looks to revive its Play Station attack that shattered school records for total offense (5,390 yards) and touchdowns (54) in 2008. He helped former Cajuns QB (and current receivers coach) Michael Desormeaux record the second-most yards of total offense in school history and as a result, Desormeaux was named the 2008 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Before his promotion to offensive coordinator, Munoz work with the Cajuns wide receivers from 2011-15 was exemplary. Despite not having the teams top receiver - Jamal Robinson - in the lineup for much of the 2014 season due to injury, four players stepped up and caught 30 or more passes each. Running back Elijah McGuire (45 receptions) was the teams top receiver on the season with James Butler (38), Al Riles (34) and Gabe Fuselier (30) contributing to the Ragin Cajuns offense. With Robinson back in the lineup for the 2015 season, four Cajuns caught 30 or more passes on the season, with Robinson grabbing 54 passes and earning first-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors. Riles (46), Fuselier (37) and McGuire (34) each ecliipsed the 30-catch plateau for Louisiana with promising freshman Gary Haynes grabbing 25 passes in his first season. In 2013, Robinson earned second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors after finishing seventh in the league in receptions (54), fifth in receiving yards per game (66.3) while his eight TD receptions were tied for fifth-most in a single season in school history. Javone Lawson (134 catches, 2,107 yards, 15 TDs) and Harry Peoples (122-1,514-6) concluded their careers in 2012 as only the third set of receivers in school history to each have 100 receptions in a career. In 2011, Munoz played an integral role in the Cajuns throwing for over 3,500 yards.  Lawson (63 catches, 1,092 yards) posted one of the top seasons by a Louisiana receiver while Peoples and Darryl Surgent also emerged as steady targets for Blaine Gautier. Prior to joining the Louisiana staff, Munoz spent three seasons at Eastern Illinois (2005-07), starting as receivers coach in 2005, co-offensive coordinator in 2006 and offensive coordinator in 2007.  During his time with EIU, the Panthers were ranked in the top-25 each season in the Division I FCS rankings and advanced to the FCS Playoffs.
