The Georgia Tech fan in me was a little saddened that Paul Johnson decided to retire Wednesday. I really wanted to see what he could do with real facility improvements and support from an AD like Todd Stansbury. Johnson for years struggled to get the financial backing he wanted. He won and made Georgia Tech …

With the surprise retirement of Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech is now looking for a new head coach. I’ve read several lists with possible coaching candidates, and as Georgia Tech fan myself, the two guys AD Todd Stansbury needs to focus on are Jeff Monken of Army or Scott Satterfield of Appalachian State. Here’s the case …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Let’s be very direct here: The University of North Carolina Tar Heels football team had a very bad season (this was a 2-9 Tar Heel football team). Larry Fedora was recently fired. As early as September 16, 2018, I thought that Appalachian State head football coach, …

Six years ago Pat Narduzzi turned down tripling his salary for a lateral move as a defensive coordinator. Five years ago he declined a chance to become a head coach for the first time. Thanks to his discerning eye, this year, his fourth as Pitt’s head coach, he’s sitting pretty with a job he was …

DURHAM, N.C. – The past decade or so has seen ACC schools top to bottom invest in their football programs. That means seeking out the right coach and properly funding recruiting while building state-of-the-art facilities. Duke and Wake Forest are two developmental programs that have climbed out of the bottom with such investments and coaches …

Well, it has been a couple of weeks since U of L fired Bobby Petrino and in theory began their coaching search. Now, I know who the next coach of Louisville is going to be.

It simply doesn’t get any more gut-wrenching if you are a Virginia fan. The nauseating losing streak to your fiercest rival just keeps going. It now reaches 15 unbelievable years. With the game in hand up 31-24 in the 4th quarter a sequence started that will make Hoo fans sick… Virginia Tech completes a miracle …

Duke and Wake Forest are known as developmental programs. That means the Blue Devils and Demon Deacons must build recruiting classes based on 3-star prospects and lower rated athletes to compete with ACC schools that are heavy on 4-stars. Their place in the college football food chain made Duke’s 31-23 win at Wake Forest in …
