kind of a head-scratcher if Earle does go to North Texas because their QB coach was let go today.

Also see that UNT signed another transfer QB too. Good luck to Stone, but more work ahead to see the field there.

I think girlfriend played a role in this too KP said “your ‘why’ should involve people”. several times. I absolutely respect Stone’s decision if this is his “why.”

I absolutely respect Stone’s decision if this is his “why.” You do know Stone’s girlfriend attends ACU. I would question what was said in the meeting between KP and Stone. I’m guessing Stone’s why might be due KP’s interview skills. If true, I understand why some players are looking elsewhere. I’m hoping KP’s storied defensive legacy will have hundreds of players beating the door down to play for ACU. If not, I hope someone close to KP lets him know….when he starts a first conversation with any player with “I’m not threatening you, but” or “the truth be told”…I find they usually end up threatening you or not telling the truth. If KP thought it was hard to recruit defensive players to Texas Tech with their myopic focus on offense and not so stringent academic standards…. wait until he tries to recruit players to ACU academic standards at a cost twice as expensive as Tech. I hate to say this but it’s going to be a long 2022 football season.

"I hate to say this but it’s going to be a long 2022 football season."
As ACU football fans, we've gotten pretty used to long football seasons.

You throw something out there like "KP's interview skills" and then say "if true". Lots of hedging to your gossip. Why not come right out and say what you've been told secondhand and not leaving us to believe the HC ran players off?

And yes, I believe we're back to square 1 without the promise we thought we had with Dorrel but with worse talent. Rebuilding when the cupboard is bare makes for a long season (s).

Why not come right out and say what you've been told secondhand and not leaving us to believe the HC ran players off? I can’t speak for how KP talks to every player. The player I spoke with, that is how he was spoken to. In My 60 years on this old earth, I’ve had people speak to me that way… The message I passed on is what I told you. There’s also nothing wrong associating with those type of people you just know keep a wary watchful eye on those people. From my conversation with the player KP had a blissful arrogance and seemed ill prepared with knowledge of the players history/ability with ACU… I’ve got my popcorn and pom-poms ready… to watch him walking thru this minefield with a hammer. Lastly, I hope KP does have hooks on talented backup players from TT and elsewhere that can make our ACU Football competitive again…time will tell.

That's truly unfortunate and troubling.

3 sides to every story- a players side, a coach's side and somewhere in the middle is the truth. Also, if he did that, why isn't every player in the transfer portal? In fact, since he has been hired, only 2 players have entered the portal. Will there be more- yep! But currently, there have only been 2
Also, for the love, can we wait to see who he brings in, coaching and player wise? Or let's just say we suck and none of us should go to any more games! And let's tell recruits, why bother coming to ACU. We will just lose anyway. Goodness!!!!
Are we worse right now? Yep! But we have nearly 30 scholarships available. Can we please wait to see what KP does with them before we right off a season or 3?
I don't think any of us know how KP will do. Maybe he will be awful; maybe he won't. I spoke to another HC at ACU. That person loved his press conference and said they would love to play for him.

Yes to all this. “Grading” KP right now is about as productive as grading a recruiting class on signing day or a draft class on draft day. Seems like a high-character guy that impressed the search committee and just like recruiting classes and draft classes we'll know what's up in a few years. For now, it’s a clean slate for ACU football – time to get behind them and support them. Merry Christmas.
