Second Season
Matt Mumme enters his second season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Wildcats. Mumme installed the “Air Raid” offense in 2011, resulting in a record-breaking season for the Wildcats.
The offense showed marked improvements in Mumme’s first season, averaging nearly 70 yards more of total offense per game than in 2010. The Wildcats’ passing offense averaged nearly 100 more yards per game, ranking second in the Pioneer Football League and eighth in the nation.
Quarterback Jonathan Carkhuff shattered Ryan Alexander’s team season passing record (2,581 yards) with 3,326 yards. All-American wide receiver Lanny Funsten hauled in a team-record 100 receptions for 1,107 yards (21 yards shy of the team record.) Funsten was named first-team All-America by BeyondSportsNetwork.com and All-PFL by CollegeSportsMadness.com, in addition to earning second-team All-PFL from the league. He ranked third in the country with 9.09 receptions per game and eighth in the country with 100.64 yards per game.
Davidson receivers covered 3,337 yards for the season, also shattering a team record.
Mumme came to Davidson from McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, where he spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator. McMurry finished the 2010 campaign with a 6-4 record, earning the school’s first winning season since 2000, placed second in the nation (D-III) with 3,665 passing yards and led all of college football in touchdown passes with 45.
The team averaged 435.5 yards of total offense and placed five players from the offensive side of the ball on the all-conference team. Quarterback Jake Mullin was named all-conference honorable mention for the second straight season after setting school records with 2,859 passing yards and 35 touchdown passes with just two interceptions despite playing in just eight games because of injury. Under Mumme, the offense produced 6,699 passing yards and 71 touchdowns through the air in two seasons.
The son of Hal Mumme, Matt is a disciple of his father’s unique Air Raid offensive system. Growing up, he watched his father’s teams run it, he ran it himself as a quarterback at the University of Kentucky and for the past eight years, he has coached it.
Though he played backup to Tim Couch, the 1999 Heisman Trophy runner-up at Kentucky, Mumme still made his mark. He holds the 13th and 14th longest pass plays from scrimmage in Kentucky’s storied football history at 79 and 78 yards respectively, and both went for touchdowns.
After earning his bachelor’s degree from Kentucky in 1999, Mumme joined his father’s staff as the quarterbacks coach at Southeastern Louisiana University in 2003. There, he coached Martin Hankins, who threw for 7,777 career yards and 65 touchdowns in two seasons while completing 63 percent of his passes.
Mumme then joined his father at New Mexico State, earning the title of offensive coordinator in addition to quarterbacks coach. Under the guidance of Mumme, three-year quarterback Chase Holbrook broke nearly every Aggie game, season and career passing record. Holbrook threw for 11,846 career yards, placing him fourth in the WAC career record book, and 85 touchdowns while completing 69.5 percent of his passes.
Mumme earned his master’s degree in business administration at Southeastern Louisiana in 2009. He and his wife, Fayedra, live in Mooresville.
