Offensive Line

At Florida Atlantic

At Texas Tech

Served three seasons (2022-24) as the Texas Tech offensive line coach, where he guided a unit that he once helped to lead to four consecutive bowl appearances, including two trips to the Cotton Bowl and to a place where he had previously served as a graduate assistant from 2013-15, under then-coach Kliff Kingsbury
In his first season back on the Red Raider sideline, Hamby mentored an offensive line that developed into one of Texas Tech’s most consistent units late in the season
Protected for an offense that averaged 34.2 points and 461.4 yards of total offense per game
Dennis Wilburn was a bright spot on that offensive line, earning honorable mention for All-Big 12 accolades at center, a position the former walk-on had not previously played

At Western Kentucky

Hamby coached one season at Western Kentucky where he, along with then WKU offensive coordinator and current FAU Head Coach Zach Kittley, helped build one of the top offenses in the country
Western Kentucky closed the 2021 campaign ranked second in the FBS for both scoring offense, averaging an impressive 44.2 points per game, as well as total offense per game, averaging 535.3 yards per contests
Despite being one of the most active teams in the country through the air, Western Kentucky kept quarterback Bailey Zappe clean up front as the Hilltoppers allowed only 1.2 sacks per game, which ranked 12th in the FBS and second in Conference USA
Western Kentucky was also 12th nationally with only 3.9 tackles for loss allowed per game as the Hilltoppers closed the regular season with a 9-5 record, played in the CUSA Championship game, and defeated Appalachian State in none other than the Boca Raton Bowl
Pro Football Focus ranked Western Kentucky’s offensive line as its top unit in pass protection as the Hilltoppers graded out at 90.7 overall, easily the highest in the FBS
All five members of Hamby's unit were tabbed to the All-Conference USA teams compiled by Pro Football Focus with three first-team selections (Quantavious Leslie, Cole Spencer, and Boe Wilson)
Was a four-year member of the Hilltopper staff, serving the first two as an offensive quality control assistant
WKU ranked among the top offensive line units in the country during his two seasons as a quality control assistant, finishing 20th in the FBS according to Pro Football Focus in 2019 and then 14th a year later. The unit was ranked as the top passing-protection front in the country in both 2019 and 2020

At Bowling Green
