• 
Matt Griffin became the 16th head coach in the storied history of
Murray State football on Dec. 12, 2005.
• 
Griffin spent his first three years as a coach at UT Martin. When he
took over the Skyhawk program the team had not won an OVC
football game in six years. He led UTM to a single Conference
victory in each 2003 and 2004 and then led the squad to a 4-4
record and fourth place finish in 2005. That performance in 2005
earned him a place among the 16 finalists for The Sports Network’s
Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award.
• 
In his three years at UTM, Griffin produced 10 All-OVC selections,
which was more than the previous seven years combined for the
program. The six overall wins he led the ’Hawks to in 2005 were
tied for the most since the program made the move to I-AA.
• 
Griffin got his coaching start at Plymouth State College in New
Hampshire. After three seasons with that program (1992-94), he
was the wide receivers coach at Richmond (1994) for a year be-
fore becoming the quarterbacks coach at Northeastern. There he
helped recruit future NFL quarterback Jim Murphy. A year later he
was the offensive coordinator at UTM, before four years at the
University of Maine. He helped the Black Bears to an Atlantic-10
Championship and two playoff appearances (2001, 2002).
• 
As a player at the University of New Hampshire, Griffin was a
team captain and led the conference in passing as a senior. He
set several Wildcat passing records and now ranks third in UNH
history in career passing yards (5,245) while his 2,734 passing
yards in 1991 was the third most in school history.
Matt Griffin enters his fourth season at Murray State and his
seventh overall in the Ohio Valley Conference. He spent the
first three years of his career at UT Martin before taking
over the Racers program.
