A 1997 SJU graduate, Ramler is in his first season as associate head coach and offensive coordinator in 2013. He compiled a 22-38 record as head coach at Carleton for six seasons from 2006-11 and was named the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Coach of the Year in 2008 after leading the Knights to a 7-3 record, their best season since 1992.

Prior to Carleton, Ramler served as an offensive assistant at four institutions, including a one-year stint at SJU (2002). He was the offensive coordinator at Heidelberg (Ohio) from 2003-05, coached wide receivers at Division I-FCS Wagner (N.Y.) in 2001, and coached quarterbacks and wide receivers at Hamilton (N.Y.) for two seasons from 1999-2000. Ramler served as a head coach in Europe during the summers of 1999 and 2000 with the Graz Giants (Austrian League) and the Prague Panthers (Czech League), respectively.

Following three seasons as the Johnnies' starting quarterback, Ramler ended his career as the school's all-time leader in pass attempts (927), pass completions (525), passing yards (8,134), 300-yard passing games (8), passing touchdowns (87) and wins as a starter (27-3-1 record) before Alex Kofoed (2004-07) surpassed each mark. He was named the MIAC's Most Valuable Player, a Gagliardi Trophy finalist and an Academic All-American as a senior in 1996.
