Abilene Christian head coach Keith Patterson will be heading into 2024 with two new coordinators following Skyler Cassity’s departure to Sam Houston on Saturday. Rick Bowie was recently hired as the third offensive coordinator at ACU in Patterson’s three years at the helm.
Cassity is one of the top young coaches in college football, and his promotion to become the defensive coordinator in the FBS was an eventuality. Patterson was likely aware that his young protege would soon depart for the FBS, considering his success leading the Wildcats defense.
