Here is some more talk of coach’s on the hot seat…..let’s look at the ACC. We already talked about Bowden at FSU (son Jeff will get de-moted before they fire or “retire” ol’ poppy Bowden.) So with the standardized 12-game NCAA schedule, we can now say the college football season is 25 percent complete and after three games it’s apparent this will be an offseason with a high rate of turnover in ACC coaches.
In the most trouble:
—Larry Coker (Miami) — The guy who said college football is a house of ill repute and the coaches are just the piano players was talking about men like Coker. Great guy who lost three of his last four games, including the most lopsided bowl defeat in school history. Has won once in the last six against a Division I opponent.
—John Bunting (North Carolina) — Progress has been microscopic. A big win over Miami, another here and there, but nothing so far to indicate the big rock has been pushed all the way up the hill. Lop-sided loss to Klempson did not help him…
—Chuck Amato (North Carolina State) — Good early speed but it got old all of a sudden. The patent leather red shoes and ridiculous sun glasses are fine when you’re winning, they make you look silly when can’t establish your program in the top third of the conference. The win vs. BC helped him but it is a long season…..
—I’m guessing Terry Bowden resurfaces at an ACC school next year. His father and brother both mentioned how they think Terry should return at this summer’s ACC preseason media fest and they said it in a way that lacked a certain spontaneity you would expect in an unscripted observation.
Comments?? (Also that is a actual pic from the Clemson game this past weekend. Word.)
