Yesterday, we unveiled the ACC Mount Rushmore of Basketball Coaches. Today, we ran a poll to see what you thought about the #4 selection. Well, it is onto the football coaches now. Who makes up the Mount Rushmore of ACC Football Coaches?
Yesterday, we shared our opinions regarding the Mount Rushmore of ACC Basketball Coaches. Today, it is your turn. Who would YOU put in the 4th spot?
The Confidential was pondering Mount Rushmore recently. While it is debatable which four Presidents should be featured on Mount Rushmore, has there been a recent President that would make the short list of “should be on its”? Probably not. But that got me thinking about who would be on the Mount Rushmore of the ACC. Of course, it is hard to compare apples and oranges, making the process difficult when dealing with players sticking around for 1-5 years and coaches that are around for 20+. So we will have to do multiple mountains… starting with the ACC Mount Rushmore of Basketball Coaches.
Finally! The ACC media days have come and gone–and that means one thing: FOOTBALL! Nobody wants summer to end, but if there is one silver lining within the cloud of August around the corner, it is that the college football season follows right behind it. Yeah, the NFL is OK too. But college football is something else entirely.
In any event, let’s take a look at what is going on in the ACC today:
As we noted previously, followers and non-followers of this blog can now get weekly updates of the blog entries. Here is this week’s recap:
It is a Sunday in July. Basketball is a distant memory. Baseball and lacrosse are over. The Grant of Rights has expansion talk limited to the Big 10 imperialists. Football is close, but perhaps not close enough. So let’s change that with a poll. Who do you think is winning the ACC this year? Schools are shown randomly. Do not forget to comment below as to why someone is going to win…
When Maryland leaves for the B1G in July 2014 the ACC will no doubt lose an excellent academic institution and a founding member. A lot has already been discussed on this topic but what will the ACC actually gain and lose when the University of Louisville comes in as their replacement? What are the real athletic and academic differences between the two schools?
The phrase “hot seat” is now commonly used to describe coaches that are under a lot of pressure to start winning immediately. The implication is that failing to have a sufficiently-good season will lead to termination. In the old days, a coach would get five years to turn a program around. Now, coaches are on much shorter “leashes.” Not literally, obviously. Anyway, who are the ACC coaches on the hot seat headed into the 2013 college football season?
Sean Keeley of the great Syracuse blog, Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician, had an informative entry today about Syracuse and the creation of a new practice facility for football. As this is long overdue for the program, all ACC fans should hope that it happens. After all, a good Syracuse football team is good for the ACC. The Confidential has one other suggestion though.
