Hal Mumme just celebrated his 73rd birthday back in March but the former Kentucky head coach is not ready to retire his call sheet just yet. The Air Raid godfather will be returning to a football sideline in 2025.

Division III Centenary in Shreveport, La., has hired Mumme to be the program’s newest offensive coordinator under head coach Byron Dawson.

“We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most iconic offensive minds in college football history to Kings Highway. With over 40 years of coaching experience, there’s simply no substitute for the wisdom and leadership he brings. He’ll be a game-changer as he guides our young Gents with the Air Raid offense,” Dawson said in a release. “Now We Go!”

“I am excited for the opportunity to work with Coach Dawson and all of the great people at Centenary College,” said Mumme. “I look forward to starting practice soon with the Gents.”

Hal Mumme brought the spread Air Raid offense to NAIA Iowa Wesleyan in 1989. From there, Mumme moved to Division II Valdosta State in 1992 where he won 40 games in five seasons with two playoff appearances. Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton then made a massive out of the box hire by bringing Mumme to the SEC.

The head coach spent four seasons at Kentucky before resigning amid NCAA violations that included payments to recruits. However, he left a big mark on college football. Tim Couch became a Heisman Trophy finalist and No. 1 overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft as UK became the first school to embrace the spread offensive passing game in a major conference. Base plays for that offense are now included in every offense in football. Mumme also helped start one of the best coaching trees in football history.

His offense at UK gave UGA and many other teams fits while he was HC.

Gawd Damn you want a 73 year old coach at Georgia?

Gawd Damn you want a 73 year old coach at Georgia?

Further to that point, why does a 73 year old man want to keep coaching, especially in this day.  

I wonder if he will wear his dumb scarf up in the booth.
