Such is life in a profession where security is sacrificed for wealth and U-Haul is always on speed dial.
But while Hamdan settles into his latest role, as Missouri’s new wide receivers and quarterbacks coach, he knows his journeyman career barely compares to the real journey his parents Latif and Laila Hamdan started more than three decades ago. Hamdan’s background is unlike that of any coach to come through Mizzou, perhaps in all of college football.
