[1] Jutting arrived at Mankato State in 1982 and played for years for the program.
The Mavericks were one of the better Division III teams during that time, making the NCAA tournament in three seasons and reached the frozen four in his senior year.
When long-time head coach Don Brose retired after the 1999–00 season Jutting was named as his successor.
His teams posted two winning campaigns in the first three seasons and made the 2003 NCAA tournament but after that the results turned bad.
Minnesota State reassigned him to an administrative position with a year left on his contract in the summer of 2012[4] but a few months later he was hired by Omaha as an assistant coach.
