A previous thread gave me this idea....
Guys,
If you could rank the coaches in the ACC top to bottom based on who you'd prefer to have at Tech, what would your list look like? You can tell how bored I am, coming up with this kind of topic. Here's my stab at it:
1) Fridge - Pure offensive genius and does a great job at pushing his talent to the limit. The man won a championship with a group that probably was 5th or 6th best in the conference. Unreal.
2) CG - Hey, I'm a Techie. What do you expect? CG has proven he can coach at all levels. Now, it's time for him to take us to the next level. If he can shore up our D and recruit well in GA, he'll have that chance.
3) Papa Bowden - He'd be at the top, except that he's so old. Plus, I often wonder what kind of coach he'd be without the obvious talent advantage he gets from recruiting Florida into an easy school like FSU.
4) Jim Grobe - I like this guy. He did something that's very hard to do. He had a winning season at Wake Forest, something his predecessor did only once in 8 years.
5) Bunting - Tough, hard-nosed coach. I like him and fear what kind of team he can put together if he can harness all the talent available in his state. I wonder how easy he is to get along with. He's a hot-head for sure and that might be good or bad...
6) Al Groh - Had an awesome recruiting year this year. I think he'll be putting together quite a team in the future. They had started to slide under Grumpy and I think Al will reverse that trend.
7) Tommy Bowden - I don't like him. Pure and simple. He's clueless about defense and he runs his mouth too much. I have a feeling that he's not gonna get the job done at Clemson. Last year, they were a 1-man team and we would have pounded them if anyone but GOL had been on the sideline.
8) Amato - No comment.
9) Franks - Well, what can you say? He's at Duke. He'd probably do better anywhere else.
Comments? Critique?
BTW, I'd probably put Mark Richt somewhere between Bunting and Groh. He's good, but he has brain cramps in critical situations.
