Very impressive in his opening presser! One thing I'd really like to see is an assistant coach with a little more robust head coaching experience. It's the one thing on his resume that he's going to have to overcome at the outset, and the Big West does have some pretty decent "game" coaches, especially on the UC side, IMO. Also should be noted he was the #2 or 3 assistant for SD, Velasquez has kind of been the heir apparent there forever, so not sure how much "real life" mentoring Acker got from coach Dutch as far as handling in game adjustments, managing TO's, delegating to assistants, etc. Was hoping one of the local guys was going to ask. The 562 guys asked the obvious question about local recruiting, but the answer was about what you'd expect from anyone, thought you might get something a little more insightful asking about how he was going to put a staff together. All in all, great day for the beach!!!!!
