The architect, his pupil, and his son: Hal Mumme, Mike Leach and Matt Mumme are wedded to the Air Raid offense

The year was 2000 and Matt Mumme had decided to tag along with his father, Hal, for an American Football Coaches Association convention in Florida.

Naturally, Fossum penciled in Saturday’s game at Martin Stadium against his old team, but due to a dislocated knee, there’s a chance he won’t travel to the Palouse or line up against the Cougars.
