    Ranking The ACC Atlantic Division Coaches


    So here are my purely subjective rankings of the ACC coaches in the Atlantic Division. It is based on won/loss record in the ACC, ACC championships, national championships, and overall coaching ability. So here goes:

    1. Bobby Bowden (FSU)- How can you not put him at the top? He has won two national championships, 12 ACC championships, and has won the most college football games in Div-1 football.

    2. Tom O'Brien (NC State)- This is his first year at NC State after becoming the winningest coach in Boston College history. He is a consistient winner and shows great coaching ability.

    3. Ralph Friedgen (Maryland)- Friedgen had a 9-4 record in 2006 after two terrible years. I think he is overrated as a coach but he has won an ACC Championship so he is probably where he belongs in the rankings.

    4. Tommy Bowden (Clemson)- This is a coach on the hot seat. He likes putting his foot in his mouth and is known as the choker. Highly overrated as a coach.

    5. Jim Grobe (Wake Forest)- The question here is he a one hit wonder? He has definitely been able to coach up players that should not be competing with better teams. This year will be the test.

    6. Jeff Jagodzinski (Boston College)- He does not have head coaching experience and comes to the Eagles from being the offensive coordinator at Green Bay. He should inherit a good BC team so we wil have to see how he does in 2007.
