Abilene Christian head coach Keith Patterson finds himself in familiar territory since being named head coach of the Wildcats in 2022. Patterson is searching for his fourth offensive coordinator in four years, as offensive coordinator Rick Bowie is leaving to become co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Western Kentucky.
Most of the previous changes were due to Patterson's search for the offense he wanted to implement as head coach. It’s safe to say Patterson found the style he prefers with Bowie, who led the ACU offense to an average of 33.8 points and 469.6 yards per game on their way to the United Athletic Conference title and the second round of the FCS playoffs.
