Mississippi State Hires New Offensive Coordinator From SEC School

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State head football coach Jeff Lebby announced Wednesday the addition of Bush Hamdan as associate head coach for offense. A veteran offensive coach with 17 years of experience in college football and the NFL, Hamdan brings a reputation for innovation, development and high-level production.

Hamdan has built a national reputation as a teacher and developer of quarterbacks and wide receivers, coaching those positions across five different stops at the SEC, Power Four and NFL levels. His experience includes recent roles at Kentucky, Boise State and Missouri, key coordinator positions at Washington, and a season in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons.

Hamdan spent the 2024 season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kentucky after leading one of the most successful Boise State offenses in recent years in 2023. The Broncos scored 30 or more points in nine straight games under his direction, matching national semifinalists Michigan and Texas for the second-longest streak in the country and marking their longest such run since 2011.

Boise State finished No. 26 nationally in total offense (436.1 yards per game) while ranking seventh in rushing offense (214.8 yards per game). The Broncos also ranked 17th nationally in sacks allowed (1.08 per game), converted third downs at a 45.95 percent clip, the 16th-best rate in the FBS, and converted fourth downs at an 81.82 percent clip, the second-best rate in the FBS. Running back Ashton Jeanty, whom Hamdan helped coach to All-America and Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors, led the nation in yards from scrimmage (159.7 yards per game). Read more.
