Page 6 2012 WILDCAT FOOTBALL • GAME ONE • McMURRY AT ACU • SEPT. 1, 2012 KEN COLLUMS HEAD COACH • FIRST SEASON (12TH SEASON AT ACU) Ken Collums, the architect of Abilene Christian University’s record-setting offense since 2005, is the 19th head football coach in ACU history. ACU director of athletics Jared Mosley made the announcement Friday, Dec. 23, 2011, ending a week-long search process that was set off on Dec. 16 when former head coach Chris Thomsen resigned to take a job as an assistant coach at Arizona State University. Collums – who has never been a head coach – just completed his seventh season as the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator and believes now is the right time to step into the head coaches’ role. “I’m honored and excited to be the head football coach at ACU,” he said. “I have the unique perspective to have been part of laying the foundation of this program seven years ago, and I’ve been able to see it grow and develop into what it is today. This is truly a special place and a special situation, and I’m ready to be the head coach and keep this program moving forward.” Collums – the FootballScoop.com D2 Coordinator of the Year in 2010 – has presided over and called the plays for some of the most dominant offensive units in NCAA Division II history. Over the last seven seasons, the Wildcats have averaged 468.4 yards of offense and 39 points per game, while achieving near perfect balance in run-pass play selection. In THE COLLUMS FILE the 82 games the Wildcats have played since 2005, they've run the ball 2,874 times and thrown it 2,857 times while gaining 38,412 yards in those games Born: Sept. 15, 1972 Since he re-joined the ACU coaching staff prior to the 2005 season, Collums’ offenses Hometown: Vernon have ranked among the best in the nation.
