Chris Acker will be a fine head coach. Comes from a good program and he is what everyone here wanted a change at the top. It just happened too quickly for me.
He hired someone he knew, who seems plenty qualified. Acker comes from a program we all wish to be like. It's not an out of nowhere hire the way Pacific landed the Texas Tech assistant, but I'm fine with it.
In my opinion we needed a change, he has experience on the west coast, in the Big West, local, and previously from a state school that is now nationally relevant in basketball.
Just like when any coach comes to the Beach, I am willing to wait a few years to pass judgment. I hope he wins the NCAA tournament. However, it looks like the national search never got out of Socal. Looks like Bobby hired a homer, I hope he has the fortitude to fire a homer.
Here is a tip - Bobby you need to get more money donated to athletics, simply said, difficult to do.
