Only thing I found about Mumme and Edwards is he visited BYU one offseason in 1986.
Not saying he didn’t absorb a lot of concepts, I just couldn’t find anything that suggests he was a major influence.

You should write a book on this. Fun stuff.

Lavell Edwards was probably THE major influence on Mumme. Anyone who is interested in Mumme/Leach and the creation/evolution of the air raid should read the book The Perfect Pass. It goes through the whole history of Mumme developing it and then its subsequent proliferation. Very interesting.

Mumme, Leach, and company famously made many pilgrimages to BYU during this time, including back when Mumme was still at Copperas Cove as a high school coach. There they studied everything about BYU’s system and essentially stole it verbatim, except they eventually began adding their own wrinkles based on their experiences: they began using more and more shotgun, more spread sets, ceased flipping their formations, and generally tailored the offense to what their players — high school and small college athletes — could do. The idea behind the “original” Air Raid package was very simple; indeed, originally, it was just the Hal Mumme and Mike Leach translation of the old BYU playbook.

Really good video from Kolloman about all the different spread offenses
