Personally I think all ACC football jobs are terrible these days. Somehow every school in that league (except maybe Duke) thinks they're better than they really are, like they're actually in the picture for national championships.
That is so hilarious and true. The ACC decided that they had to become a "mega conference" a few years back and sold their souls to the devil (not duke ). The schools that have been in the ACC the last 25 years pretty much know their respective places. Its the ones that came over in the expansion (BC, miami, Fla St., Va Tech) that either regressed (miami, FSU) or never got past second tier status (va tech and BC) that harbor the delusions of grandeur.

You have to give the hokies credit though. What they are able to accomplish year in and year out from such a limited recruiting base is amazing.

I hate giving the Hokies credit, but they do win alot of games. I do know one thing though, when Foster leaves, there will some serious mourning in Hokie Nation.


They tend to get the best players from Virginia year in and year out. Be curious to see where the kid from Phoebus goes. Played fantastic in the HS All American game this past weekend. I think Phoebus ended ranked in the top 5, maybe in the top three in the Nation this year.

Foster stays so he'll get the HC job when Beamer finally goes. UVa's only hope is they both leave. until then VT will dominate UVa.

the football schools in the ACC- Clemson, VT, Miami, FSU. miami and fsu have lost control of the state of fla. UF rules and the rest of the SEC is raiding the state. Clemson is the one i don't get. they should be able to go 9-3 every year. spurrier can't be hurting the. usc's offense is terrible but the defense id really good. Clemson has talent on both sides of the ball so that leaves coaching. i don't think Dabo Sweeney (Bama man) is the answer, great recruiter though.
