ACU has hired a new head coach. The announcement was made by ACU Athletic Director Lee De Leon in a meeting with the team yesterday. The name won't be announced until the new-hire's season with his current team is finished. ACU spoke with several FBS assistants whose teams will play in bowls so it could be one of them, but the unconfirmed internet rumor is Adam Dorrel, HC of Northwest Missouri State. If true, this is a home run hire.
Dorrel's team plays in the D2 semifinals this weekend. Dorrel has coached two previous D2 national championship teams and has won the D2 national coach of the year twice. Northwestern State is playing for an unprecedented 6th national title. A win would break the record held by North Dakota State before they moved up.
The new coach reportedly signed a five year deal that will make him one of the highest paid coaches in the Southland Conference.
