Hal Mumme coaching rumor watch 2k13

Update: SMU coach June Jones clarifies Mumme won’t have an offensive coordinator title, via the Dallas Morning News:

The Air Raid will reportedly pair with the Run ‘n’ Shoot. Hal Mumme will join the coaching staff at SMU, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Mike Barber, linking up with fellow passing game guru June Jones.

Hal Mumme is not going to register much recognition from general football fans, but pigskin acolytes know the influence he’s had on modern college football offenses. What coaches like Mike Leach, Dana Holgersen, Sonny Dykes, Tony Franklin and others have produced at various stops might not have been possible without guidance from the original teachings of Mumme.

And now it sounds like Mumme is ready to get back on the saddle and coach at a major college football program once again. Mumme reportedly accepted the OC position at James Madison after several seasons coaching at McMurry, but he might have turned it down and could be looking for something even better:

Former Kentucky and New Mexico State head coach, and Air Raid offense innovator, Hal Mumme resigned from Division II McMurry University after saying he’d done all he could for the school. Mumme was reportedly set to take the scheme to James Madison as the offensive coordinator, but according to Football Scoop, he won’t be heading to Harrisonburg.
