The ACC has put more players in the NFL the last few years than any other conference....
What I see and it was very clear (Listen to Herbstreit and the gang this morning on College football final) That Clemson was outcoached...Bowden is pitiful..His team literally walked out onto the field last night..NO emotion at all...Wussies....
You reverse the roles and Saban was coaching Clemson, Clemson wins and maybe more than by 24 points...
Clemson annually has some of the best talent in college football and play like wussies...
I'm convinced we don't have the head coaches the sec, Pac 10 and Big 10 have and thus the results the last few years...
I think P.J. has a chance to make his mark and in a big way in our conference...His teams will be tough as nails and play inspired....He practices and prepares his teams that way, similiar to Saban, his teams will play with toughness...
Grobe, P.J., Butch Davis and Beamer..Possibly Tom Obrien (Outside of these head coaches, I don't see a toughness there that it takes to win)
I know VT lost to a very good East Carolina team ( Yes, ECU willl be good this year and VT is very young, they lost more starters than anyone in our conference from last year) BUT, Beamer has proven to be a good coach and his teams show toughness..
No doubt Butch Davis will have UNC there but, it will be a couple of more years.
Grobe, we all know is an outstanding coach.
I think the Ex-Marine Obrein will have NC. State there in a few years. (Amato didn't leave him much) They will play with toughness.
But, my point is, outside of these 5 maybe 6 Head Coaches, the ACC doesn't have the coaches the other conferences have.
Tommy Bowden has to go, NO way Clemson should not have had a couple of more National Championships since 1981..Just too much there to offer at Clemson..They need to make a change and get a Saban type coach there.
A lot of people around the country said, The ACC would be top to bottom the best conference in college football when we expanded and we have produced the players and have great talent BUT, have not shown it on the scoreboard.
Another thing that needs to happen, is for Fsu and Miami, to get back to where they were, the best teams in college football...I'm hoping Jimbo will take FSU back to greatness, (Of course with us beating them every year in the Conference Championship game)
Miami is getting some great top 3 talent every year, But, I'm not sold on Shannon as their coach. Another team like Clemson that needs to have a great coach, just way too much talent that is wasted.
I.M.H.O. Fsu, Miaimi, Clemson all need to be in or near the top 5 every year. No excuses with all the talent these programs produce.
Thoughts?
