Inheriting a trainwreck from Kenny Payne and injuries early in the year, Kelsey has Louisville (16-6, 9-2) and headed to the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andy Enfield, SMU = 0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SMU is (17-5, 8-3) and if it weren’t for Pat Kelsey, Andy Enfield would be in line for ACC COY. Enfield had a good run at USC with 5 NCAA tournament appearances in 10 years not counting the COVID year. SMU could be an emerging force in ACC basketball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Smith, Stanford = 0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you seeing a trend here? Kyle Smith is another first-year coach in the ACC who is doing a fine job. Stanford was picked near the bottom of the ACC, Smith has them (15-7, 7-4). The ACC might be down overall, but these 1st year coaches are making some waves and that’s good for the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Scheyer, Duke = 0.1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following a legend like Coach K is never easy, but Jon Scheyer in his third season has Duke as one of the top 2 teams in the country at (19-2, 11-0). Scheyer has yet to make a Final 4 or win a National Title and that’s the standard at Duke, but you can’t argue with the results this season so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brad Brownell, Clemson = 1.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brad Brownell went from perennial hot seat to the longest-tenured coach in the ACC. Last year he went to the Elite 8 and this year, Clemson is (18-4, 10-1) and will be back in the Big Dance with another chance at a deep run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Young, Virginia Tech = 1.75\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Virginia Tech’s Mike Young seat is actually relatively cool. He’s won an ACC Title and has 4 postseason appearances. This year Virginia Tech will likely miss the NCAA tournament which would make 3 straight years without the NCAAs. Young can coach but some Hokie fans think he’s been handcuffed by his athletics department.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kevin Keatts, NC State = 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How can a coach that just went to the Final 4, already have a bit of heat? Keatts before that ACC and NCAA Tournament run was in massive trouble. He’d been at NC State 6 years without a NCAA win, and this year he has one of the worst teams in the ACC. Was last year a fluke? We’ll find out next season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff Capel, Pittsburgh = 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh is in total collapse. They’ve lost 6 of their last 8 games and went from NCAA lock to off the bubble. That would be just 1 NCAA appearance in 7 years for Capel and Pitt. This is falling apart really fast Capel who I didn’t even have on the hotseat a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Make sure you follow the All Sports Discussion Twitter account at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/allsportsdacc\">@AllSportsDACC<\/a>\u00a0and please like our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/All-Sports-Discussion\/184935911533629?fref=ts\">Facebook Page<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<br>\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Bottom_Post -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"1445137322\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<br>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Horizontal_6 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"4619304738\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are starting to get an idea of ACC men\u2019s basketball coaches who are starting to feel the hot seat and which ones are in good shape.
