Hey... You know who might make a fantastic Division 1-A Offensive Coordinator?

Y'know... If we happened to find ourselves in the market for some new coaches on that side of the ball anytime soon.

He transferred in May. He didn't crack OU's two-deep after spring practice and didn't want to wait to play. Thomsen just has two players two on the draft in April - WR Johnny Knox (Chicago) and RB Bernard Scott (Bengals). Unusual for ACU to ever have guys go in the draft. Two is unheard of.

Thomsen is a good coach. It'd be nice to see him catch on at the FBS level as a receivers coach or running backs coach and continue to work his way up the ladder. He might be able to get a coordinator or head coaching gig at the FCS level next year if ACU continues to win big in 2009.

One thing's for sure...he's got enough buzz to have his Division II school on FoxSports Southwest. And, that's doing something. Apparently, ACU and NW Missouri State have become something of Top 5 Division II rivals over the past couple of seasons. How weird would it be to see Graham Harrell's brother, a former Tulsa player, turning and faking to a former OU blue chip tailback then tossing the ball to a receiver who was slated to be Rutgers #1 guy this year? In Abilene?

All three of those guys got bits and pieces of playing time last year at Tulsa, OU and Rutgers. They could be as explosive as Billy Malone (originally a Tulane signee), Bernard Scott, and Johnny Knox were in 2008 and 2009.
