He earned his MBA from West Virginia Wesleyan in 1993.[3] Hand has also spent time as the defensive coordinator at Glenville State from 1994 to 1996 under Rich Rodriguez and at Concord College in Athens, West Virginia. While at Concord, he also served as the special teams coordinator. He joined the coaching staff at Clemson University in 1999 as an offensive graduate assistant, reuniting with Rodriguez who was Clemson's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

After Rodriguez was named the head coach at West Virginia, Hand joined his staff as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator. Hand spent six years (2001–06) at West Virginia, serving as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator. At West Virginia he helped them win three Big East Conference titles and go to five straight bowl games during the span, including a victory over SEC champion Georgia in the 2006 Sugar Bowl.

Tulsa

When Todd Graham accepted the head coaching position at the University of Tulsa in 2007, he hired Hand to be his co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, splitting coordinator duties with Gus Malzahn.[4] After Malzahn left to be the offensive coordinator at Auburn in 2009, Hand was promoted to sole offensive coordinator, as well as assistant head coach.

Hand was named the offensive line coach at Vanderbilt University in 2010, joining Robbie Caldwell's staff. During his tenure at Vanderbilt, he coached players who earned 11 Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week Awards. His units blocked for Zac Stacy who broke the Vanderbilt season and career (3,143 yards) rushing records at that time. He's coached numerous players that have gone onto the play in the NFL notably Wesley Johnson and Will Holden.[5] After Caldwell resigned at the end of the 2010 season, Hand was retained by newly hired head coach James Franklin. Hand also added the title of run game coordinator to his duties at the beginning of the 2013 season.

In 2016, Kamryn Pettway led the SEC and ranked 11th in the nation in rushing yards per game, making him a Doak Walker Award semifinalist (top running back in college football). The line paved the way for running back Kerryon Johnson to earn 2017 SEC Offensive Player of the Year and All-American honors. In his two seasons at Auburn, they went back-to-back New Year's Six bowl games the Sugar Bowl and Peach Bowl.[6][7]

All five of the starting offensive linemen in 2018 were named to the All-Big 12 team, led by Calvin Anderson, Zach Shackelford, and Patrick Vahe. In 2020, Sam Cosmi was named an All-American and was later drafted 51st overall in 2021 NFL draft.[8][9] He was not retained when Herman was fired and replaced by Steve Sarkisian at the end of the 2020 season.[10][11]
