The guy who first hired Kirby Smart - familiar to everyone here

Ahh, Chris Hatcher. Wondered what’s been up with him. He had a great run at Valdosta State, but has been rather pedestrian at his stops since. Until this year when he went 11-2. He’s gone 96-83 at four stops since leaving Valdosta. He runs a great offense, obviously air raid oriented. I wonder if a P5 school could lure him away to be an OC? Surely he could be paid more than Samford is paying. He almost left there to go back to Valdosta St. but he’s been at Samford since 2014 so he may be entrenched there.

The AD at Samford is Martin Newton. So that connection back to Mumme and UK probably makes him pretty comfy there

True.

If he pitches a couple more 11 win seasons, somebody like Mississippi State might come calling.
