AIR RAID is not a particular formation per se, but rather a very successful passing attack devised by HAL MUMME that utilizes spread principles. Hal was the head coach at Valdosta State where he was very successful with it at the Div.ll level prior to moving on to div. 1-A with the Kentucky Wild Cats.

While at Valdosta he groomed an ALL AMERICAN QB by the name of Chris Hatcher, who later returned to Valdosta State as the head coach. He won a national championship at that level and is now the head coach at GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY. While at Valdosta, he was very gracious to me by allowing me full access to his practices as I was the head coach of a professional minor league team in the same city.

Mike Leach was also on the staff at Valdosta prior to leaving for the Texas Tech head coaching job where he has done very well, and continues to do so.
