Dick G. Bumpas (born December 19, 1949) is a retired American football coach and former player.

[1] Playing for Coach Frank Broyles at Arkansas, he helped the Razorbacks win a Southwest Conference title in 1968 before defeating Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day, 1969.

[2] While his junior season was remembered most for Arkansas' loss to Texas in the Game of the Century, Bumpas earned All-SWC honors and became a Consensus All-American as a senior in 1970.

This stretch included stints working under coaches including Fisher DeBerry, Johnny Majors and Lou Holtz - and made him one of the few men to have coached at all three service academies.

[7] This was the first of three times he would cross paths with Patterson as fellow assistants - along with their corresponding stints at Tennessee Tech, Utah State and Navy.
