Listened to a podcast this morning where the hosts had to rank ACC schools in terms of attractiveness for a head coach and thought it was entertaining enough on its own, but it was also interesting to get the view of Miami from national college football particularly when it comes to advantages and challenges that Miami faces with recruiting.
The setup for the rankings is a follows:
- The head coach position of every ACC school is open as every current ACC head coach has left (so for example, if you didn't choose Clemson you wouldn't be coaching against Dabo)
- You get to inherit the current roster
- Which is the best based on a 5 year outlook
I found it interesting listening to their thoughts on why some schools where better than others, and they took into account all sorts of things like recruiting location, current roster, expectations, competition within your region, etc. They ranked every team and other than their thoughts on Miami it was probably more interesting to hear their middle of the pack rankings. This is what they had for their top 4:
1) Clemson
2) Miami
3) FSU
4) UNC
I am not sure that I would have FSU that high given the current state of things, but could see if they are looking at it as a 5 year thing and taking a bit more history into it.
I agree that Miami is #2 although one of them made the case that Miami could be #3 as even though Miami has such a huge recruiting advantage due to location, there is also the politics that we need to offer kids early and then it is much harder for us to pull those offers than for other schools w/o ****ing off high school coaches. I think the location helps not just with recruiting, but Manny seems to be walking the line better than some of our past coaches in regards to offers, but I would love to get the perspective of the more connected posters on this site.
Here is the full podcast if anyone wants to listen: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aH...EwjHsbbyuOzuAhXXFFkFHZ9WAUkQieUEegQIBxAF&ep=6
And yes I know that Andy Staples went to UF, but that didn't factor into the discussion.
