exactly. both were far more successful together, than either has been apart. i have often thought dorrel got a lot of credit for his record that deservedly went to the defense. and different circumstances obviously, but one could argue that rich has been the more successful of the two since the split...

Hohensee tackling UCO's Slater who returned the errant snap to the 11 yard line.

Link to jpeg of Wright being sacked at UCO. NW is going to be hard pressed to get their QB's healthy.

I was told this by someone that would for sure know and not have any reason to lie. From my understanding it had gotten so bad that when AD made the decision to play the other QB they had almost already lost the locker room because the players were so pissed that the booster's kid was still playing. Just a terrible situation to be put in as a head coach! You can sometimes tell when coaches are just giving the canned coach speak or when they are genuine and trying to build a culture. I think AD is the latter and he truly cares about his student/athletes and will end up building a monster in Edmond! IMO

i heard that too but i didn't know if it was real. didn't know much about ACU at all outside of them moving up to FCS.
i did read they were in a huge bind trying to recruit D1 kids to Abilene against the likes of the big D1s. once you remove all of the top texas schools and OU and OSU then pile on with the academics, not a huge pool to choose from.
i also noticed that last years starter as a redshirt is not only NOT calling plays but he's not even on the roster.
6 of his 7 starts shows him at 75% of lower passer rating and 4 ints. last 2 games of the year he didn't take a snap.
this years team (with his players) are 3-1 and with a different starter under center. not that missou is a power houses in the SEC right now but they scored 17 points AT missou two weeks ago. only lost that game 34-17 to an SEC school at their house. with ADs players and without last years staring QB. does that mean anything? don't know. if its true about the QB, id hate to work for a boss that wouldn't stand behind you with personnel decisions and keeping donors off your back.
if you remember his speech when he got here at UCO, he said something to the affect that it was refreshing to have a AD that was fully behind winning and standing behind the coaching staff and assuring everything that was needed would be there. there seems to be a message there. maybe to those in power at ACU.

That is a tough place to recruit because of the academic requirements and not to mention some of the pressure being put on him by their biggest booster to play their very average son at QB!!

To your point though, building the culture is something he has yet to prove. I'm with PP though, I think it's a pretty good situation for him to do so at UCO.

It's also not like he's trying to turn around Lincoln. UCO has the resources, and a good history, although pretty far removed. I think it's a really good situation for him.
