While at Iowa Wesleyan a parent use to crank up a portable air raid siren every time they scored and they scored a lot. This is how the Mumme/Leach spread system became known as the Air Raid Offense!
Don’t forget: Iowa Wesleyan and THEN they shredded D2 defenses at Valdosta St in Georgia. Went to a clinic of his recently and also found out he was the first (and to my knowledge the only) HC to ever get hired from D2 straight to the SEC.
I would argue this offense began at BYU in 1978, Sid Gilman, inspired from Mouse Davis, Run and shoot offense. The staff in those years at Norm Chow, Any Reid was Oline, then a coach, Levell Edward's, Gary Crowden, Hal Mumme, and Mike Leach who was a student who studied the game, and now mastering it today. When Leach left BYU, and had to play against them, he found a love in studying BYU still, Mesh and 4 verts being primary looks back then. Lincoln Riley is one descendent of Leach.
Great video! Question. If your football handbook geared towards coaches or fans learning the game? Looking for more coaching football IQ type materials.
The article I read about Leach's death credits Hal Mumme as the originator of the AR offense when he was a high school coach in Texas. Leach joined Mumme at Iowa W. and took the AR with him for the rest of his career. RIP Mike.
Leach is said to have been someone who didn't play in college; however, Leach did work as a coach - particularly with the film and strategy of the game. Leach definitely "expanded" and "mastered" this offense so that it became directly associated with the name of "Mike Leach" at a higher level of football.
@@michaelzoran Yes he took the offense to higher levels but as stated before Mumme got the ball rolling.Mumme was at Kentucky coaching TIM COUCH in the late '90s
One correction. Hal Mumme and Mike Leach created the offense while at Iowa Wesleyan, not Kentucky. Mumme was HC and Mike Leach was his OC. They set records there and the numbers caught the attention of many colleges and was eventually hired by U of Kentucky as HC.
Air raid isn’t always about the long pass, a lot of passes are fast and short and it leads to big plays opening up and that’s why they get all those yards And 90 % of the run plays that are called, are called at the line as being audibles. Also I like the mesh, mesh can be a nice checkpoint throw if you’re trying something else down deep and nothing opens up.
Riley does run the air raid the heck.. he just uses a power run game and uses TEs more than leach but conceptually Riley is running the air raid. I dont understand why ppl think just bcuz Riley, kingsbury, mike gundy and Rileys brother run the ball more it's not the air raid when conceptually they run everything in the air raid it baffles me. Hell the patriots used air raid concepts all the time when they had wes welker when they won. How do u think a 5'9 slot receiver was killing dudes how he was .. the concepts with his quickness

I kind of doubt that…but thanks, I guess.
The Air Raid was actually created at Iowa Wesleyan, but Leach and Mumme took it with them when they went to UK

Always been a fan of the Air Raid offense thanks for educating me further about this insanely dangerous offense

Thanks for saying this everyone acts like Leach created the offense.

This pass happy offense had quick stops at small schools like Savannah St, Hampton (Va.) University, Jackson St.
True

Gotta have meshes with that spread air raid style
This has to be the name. For any offense in football history. I mean air raid offense. Sounds like it scores point. Like the Run and shoot offense.
RIP Mike Leech.
Only 14 but I wanna be a Offensive coordinator and I thought this be a good offense to run
I’m glad I discovered this channel
Thanks for watching :)
@@vIQtorySports I absolutely love the Air Raid Offense when I play flag football 🏈
The air raid was first ran at Iowa Wesleyan with Hal mumme and mike leach then mike leach followed Hal mumme to Kentucky
Balanced offense is better. Using fullbacks, split backs, tight ends, trips. Motion air raid doesn't emphasize the run game enough
Where did you get the job description for the air raid playbook?
Leach learned from Hal Mumme how to operate this pass happy offense.
Where did you get this playbook?
RIP Coach Leach
One of the game's best innovators! Will be greatly missed!
@@vIQtorySports i love the air raid offense when I play flag football.
Do the Sean Payton joe Brady offense next
So what's the "9" and the "2" mean? I run air raid, but don't use the numbers.
RIP to Coach Leach
RIP Coach Leach.. GO COUGS!
Did Jalen Hurts run a Air Raid O in OU?
Yes
OU doesn't run a true air raid. A lot of Lincoln Rileys offense is based on the air raid but it is different.
LR doesn't run the true Air Raid
@@LunchBox68 What was the difference between Riley and Leach's version of this pass happy offense???
Riley does run the air raid the heck.. he just uses a power run game and uses TEs more than leach but conceptually Riley is running the air raid. I dont understand why ppl think just bcuz Riley, kingsbury, mike gundy and Rileys brother run the ball more it's not the air raid when conceptually they run everything in the air raid it baffles me.

The origins of the AirRaid Offense was at Iowa Wesleyan
RIP Mike
