Disappointed Stapp is leaving but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I understand allegiance to a coach but it couldn't have been a surprise to any of the team. If you didn't want it to happen you should have won more games. Sorry if that sounds harsh.

I hate that. Satterfield was not a surprise -- he only played in a handful of games, but Stapp is a shocker. I imagine the defense would have been built largely around him regardless of who is the coach. Looking at the participation report, did John Brannon actually get to play? I thought he was out for the year with an injury. It could have been Easton Myrick finally getting some game time -- he also wears #43. Stapp made it pretty clear if Dorrel and staff was let go he was gone. JB got in on kickoff, has been battling foot injury all year. Admire Stapp’s loyalty.

Loyalty would be Stapp transferring to whatever school hires Dorrel as an assistant. It seems to me like the players should at least wait and see who gets hired. But maybe they are worried it will take too long and they will miss the transfer train.

But maybe they are worried it will take too long and they will miss the transfer train. Does anyone know the message conveyed to the players after the last game? My concern is Zack L our new ACU VP of athletics officially starts December 1. So does anyone think the the new football head coach for ACU will be found any sooner than the end of December? It is a long time to wait to determine who the coach will be. Unless we are hiring a local coach with local ACU ties or currently recruiting…you’re gonna lose a whole year in recruiting. That equates to another year or two loss for the players currently on the roster. That’s never a good thing.

That said, the Transfer Portal changes everything.

Lots of players enter the transfer portal and treat there former school as another school that needs to re-recruit them. The new coach could spend time trying to keep guys here who have already entered the portal.

Dorrel actually had some good players in that class like Parmelly and Gibbens. Either way, won’t ever expect success in year 1 of regime change.

Email went out late Saturday night for team meeting Sunday morning, said it was not mandatory. Many players left to go home for extended Thanksgiving break and were not there. Players received email from Dr. Schubert letting them know Dorrel was gone and new AD and search firm responsible for search. I would like to see new coach named quickly and get to work, get staff in place (I personally hope he keeps some of current staff), re-recruit players like Stapp and others who are leaving, evaluate current offers to see if they fit in new schemes and flip some commits and get down to business in the offseason!! Schubert and the donors who made this happen should have had a quick strike place in place to get this ball rolling. Maybe they do...I'll reserve judgement on that....Prairie View A&M is on the clock!

Not sure anyone in the WAC was better than Zepeda and Stapp but when your in conference record was what ours was, this is understandable. I wish Zepeda had been used in the early season to kick when we kept going for 4th down tries.

Next week we will likely see a wave of players enter the transfer portal. Why? Players are getting to go home and spend time with their families this weekend. I have spoken with 2 players and their heads are spinning
