Not directed at anyone, but why would a coach leave an ACC school for the SEC? It is easier to win a national championship in the ACC than the SEC, see Florida State and maybe Clemson this year. The competition is better in the SEC which it makes it harder to run the table. Unless the coach is all about the money, if I was them I would stay in the ACC. You also get to watch better basketball.
At UNC...if he builds a winner...do they pay him like one? Roundball rules the roost on Tobacco Road...but if they beat Clemson Saturday...there is a high possibility UNC gets in the 4 team playoff. For a school that puts all its eggs in one basket...could be time to diversify.
Body of work is still there for the time being. The shine isn't completely off the apple. Like I said before...if somehow he moves on...right now it's the best case scenario. We don't want the downward trend to continue...which shows no sign of reversing course. We want the notoriety of sending a coach to a better paying gig. Grass isn't always greener...but the yard isn't looking that good anymore.
If that the thinking...why not put Ohio State in over Iowa...Iowa hasn't played anyone this year...Michigan State will be their first ranked opponent...in the Conference Title Game. Conference Champion pressure will always win out...unless it's against the SEC.
Edit: Looks like Wisconsin and Northwestern where ranked when Iowa played them...still though.
I haven't seen a non-SEC school get the title game push while not being conference champ since Oklahoma got the nod in 2003 over USC. Internal pressure by the conferences themselves will also be exerted...how ____ed would the ACC be if they lost out on a playoff spot?
