Ray Braun (born March 6, 1936) is a former American football coach. He served as the head football coach at the Montana State School of Mines—now known as Montana Tech of the University of Montana–for one season, in 1968, compiling a record of 2–6. Before coming to Montana Tech, Braun was an assistant football coach at North Dakota State University and coached high school football at Hellgate High School in Missoula, Montana.[1] Braun was the defensive coordinator at Washington State University under head coach Jim Sweeney from 1972 to 1973. He served two stints in the same capacity at Oregon State University, from 1976 to 1978 under Craig Fertig and 1982 to 1983 under Joe Avezzano. Braun also coached in the professional ranks, as an assistant with the Portland Storm/Thunder of the World Football League (WFL) from 1974 to 1975 and with the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) in 1988. During the 1990s he coached at a number of high schools in Oregon.
