The Air Raid offense installed by Hal Mumme and Mike Leach at Kentucky has had many former players and assistants go on to be head coaches somewhere. Sonny Dykes (SMU), Dana Holgorsen (Houston), Neal Brown (West Virginia), Lincoln Riley (USC), Sonny Cumbie (Louisiana Tech), Josh Heupel (Tennessee), and Kliff Kingsbury (Arizona Cardinals) are just a few of the names making noise at the highest levels of both college and pro football.
At the high school level in Kentucky, former wide receiver Craig Yeast will be returning home to lead Harrodsburg (Ky.) Mercer County in 2022.
Craig Yeast became Tim Couch’s favorite target in Mumme’s pass-heavy offense during his playing days, and the Kentucky native still leads the program in receptions (208), receiving yards (2,899), and receiving touchdowns (28).
