Ranking The ACC Coastal Division Coaches

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.Frank Beamer(Va Tech)- Year in and year out, Frank Beamer has great teams. Has a tough defensive and special teams philosophy.

2.Chan Gailey(Ga. Tech)- Got to the ACC Championship in 2006. Will be interesting to see how he does without superstar Calvin Johnson.

3.Butch Davis(NC)- New coach Butch Davis had mixed record at Miami and not so good in pros. He had a good recruiting effort so now he will have to produce.

4.Randy Shannon(Miami)- Although he did not have head coaching experience, he was responsible for Canes defense. He should do well.

5.Al Groh(Va)-With a 5-7 record last year, Groh is on the hot seat. This is a test year for him.

6.Ted Roof(Duke)-Duke football is what it is and Roof has very little room for error.
