15 Head Coach CHRIS HATCHER HEAD COACH | FIFTH SEASON | 118-48 (.711) OVERALL RECORD

Very few schools in the country can boast the kind of coaching tradition that has taken up residence at Murray State University, especially in the last 35 years. Consider the men who in recent history have guided the Racers on the football field:

• Mike Gottfried left Murray State to coach at Kansas and Pittsburgh before becoming one of the top college football television analysts in the country while working for ESPN.

• Frank Beamer left Murray State for his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where he guided the Hokies to a spot in the national championship game against Florida State in 2000, earning several national coach of the year awards.

• Houston Nutt took the Racers to unprecedented heights before leaving to restore the winning tradition at Arkansas and Ole Miss.

Now the torch is carried by a coach who has proven to be a winner and has all the makings of becoming the next Murray State football head coaching legend...Chris Hatcher. The Chris Hatcher era officially began at Murray State, Dec. 21, 2009, when Director of Athletics Allen Ward introduced Hatcher as the 17th head coach in front of a standing-room only crowd inside the Murray Room. Success has followed Hatcher throughout his career, as the former Division II National Player of the Year has garnered an overall record of 118-48 in his 14 years as a head coach. Included in those 14 seasons are six trips to the postseason, two appearances in the National Championship game and the 2004 Division II National Championship. Hatcher’s wide-open style of offense, known as the ‘Hatch Attack,’ quickly won the hearts of the Murray community, while giving opposing defensive coordinators nightmares. Since arriving on campus, Hatcher has returned the Racer program back to its winning tradition, while also transforming Stewart Stadium into one of the premiere facilities in the country. Hatcher and his coaching staff have been busy renovating the locker room, film room and weight room, while also building a new players lounge, equipped with all the top gaming devices, pool table and computers for school work and watching film. This past spring, Hatcher completed the Hall of Fame Room, honoring all the greats in Racer history. The room features a plaque for all the All- Americans, as well as the “Big Win” wall, recognizing all the big wins throughout the history of Racer football. On the field, Hatcher has led the Racers to 24 victories in four seasons, nearly equalling the number of wins the program had in the previous seven seasons before his arrival. In fact, Hatcher has three seasons with at least six victories, matching the total from the 10 years prior. The success of Hatcher can be traced back to his offense. Under Hatcher, the Racers have boasted one of the top offenses in the FCS. MSU has ranked in the top five in passing offense and total offense in three of the last four seasons. Individual success has also been synonomous with Hatcher’s arrival as the Racers have had at least one All-America in each of his four seasons. The Racers made history in 2013 as they knocked off Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky, both in overtime, in the same season for the first time in school history. MSU used a balanced attack in 2013. The Racers rushed the ball 424 times, while throwing it 458, in averaging 398.6 yards of offense.
