re: Is Hal Mumme the most influential coach in modern CFB history?

I was lucky enough to work for Coach Mumme. I coached football for 16 years, a few years in college. Mumme was unreal to work for. I was a lowly student assistant, but he treated everyone equally. No matter your role, how big or small, he treated you just like you were an integral part in the operation. As a young coach, he would give you tasks that you can handle and succeed at, so you could prove yourself. Then once you did, you would get more stuff to do, sort of a promotion. His coaching tree includes many more coaches who aren't mentioned here, but his attitude, the way he treated people, the way they conducted their business is what is super important. The offense is very simple to learn and teach, and those guys would share it with anyone who was willing to listen and learn.
