Most u are aware??

Hal Mumme and Mike Leach coached together at Iowa Wesleyan in Mt. Pleasant in '89-'91. Birth of spread offense in some circles. Coached at Kentucky together when Mumme was head coach.

Guess who was a receiver for them in '91....Dana Holgerson. He followed them around at Kentucky and the with Leach at TTU.

Mumme was eccentric as hell and is still a FB junkie.

Could write a ton more, but u get the point.
And many more layers to that.

Somewhere Iowa
Did he ever settle his legal dispute with Texas Tech about his contract? If not, what happens now?
No and if you do twitter check out the posts from the Tech athletics profile. It’s all people ripping on them for screwing him out of money and now being disingenuous after his death.

Quite simply, Bob Stoops hiring him at OU was the most transformative coaching hire in B12 history.

Always thought he would be perfect fit at Iowa state. Wins with less, knows the state, unique system, wouldn't be afraid of the challenge. Would have been footballs Johnny Orr. Too bad it never happened.

From the Lubbock, Pullman, and Starkville stops its obvious he wasn't searching for the limelight, so Ames could have worked.

Can you image if we was able to get the air raid going at Florida (if they would have hired him)? With those athletes down there?

His early Tx Tech coaching staffs were incredible.



Technically Larry’s post is accurate however Riley was a walk on and did not play. He was a student volunteer assistant the following year.

Plus there are additional coaches on that staff that should can be added to the list.
