You'd be surprised how many coaches will blabber off at the mouth if they can guarantee it will remain anonymous or off the record.I honestly think this writer just makes this up, and has been making this up.
Sportswriters nowadays are generally lazy hacks.
Does anyone actually think this guy spent the days and hours to accumulate these quotes from a myriad of different ACC coaches? Anonymous quotes?
Think about it.
If you follow the ACC like we do, easily half the posters here could come up with these often repeated tropes about each of the ACC teams/coaches. It would take a couple of hours - max - to write this simplistic stuff up. These things are basic and well known. There’s nothing new here.
Also, if I’m an ACC coach or assistant coach, why would I even give this hack the time of day? There would be nothing in it for me, other than downside.
Nah, I’m smelling a big load of bullshlt here.
The best part for the “writer” is, he can never be found out. These are “anonymous sources“, so he’s got that to hide behind. He knows he can get away with it. You would literally have to interview every single coach in the ACC, we’re talking somewhere around 100 coaches, to ferret out this fraud, and no one would ever do that. He’s just making it up.
Obviously, just my opinion. But I’m not buying a single word.
Especially assistant coaches, some of them love nothing more than shìtting on other coaches under the protection of anonymity. And in this setting, taking shots at other comferece programs is something they do anyway amongst themselves in their team meetings, so it's not beyond the pale to take anonymous shots.
Coaching is a big ego business & a lot of the guys in this field are type A ******** who love bringing someone else down a peg in order to make themselves look bigger.
