After graduating from St. Lawrence University in 1958, Mynter spent ten years as an assistant football coach at Norwich University from 1965 to 1974.[1] Mynter was named head football coach at Norwich for the 1975 season.[2] He served sixteen years as Norwich's head coach from 1975 to 1990, compiling a record of 75–78–2. Mynter was elected to the Norwich University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1990.[3]

In 1992, Mynter was named head football coach at Canisius College.[4][5][6] His tenure at Canisius was less successful, however, as he served as head coach at Canisius from 1992 to 1994, compiling a record of 10–19–1. Mynter resigned as head coach at Canisius following the 1994 season, a season in which the Golden Griffins tied the school record for most losses in a season, finishing just 2–8 on the year.[7]
