Coaching Carousel

Obviously right guy can win there, but IMO seems like a tougher spot than it was 5-10 years ago.
I think that if you are a good coach looking for an opportunity to compete and a window to succeed at the high major level, UVA is a great spot.

What has been coming in the ACC for a few years has arrived: after Duke the conference is wide open. Teams that have historically had no shot to crack the top 3 can now realistically hope to do that if they play their cards well.

Steve Forbes is doing exactly that at Wake which is a much smaller school and without access to public school dollars. Jeff Capel was making some progress in that direction at Pitt before he sort of collapsed recently.

Somebody could go to UVA and have a real chance of getting to the top 2 or 3 in the conference every year - if they do a good job there.

Compare that to the SEC or the Big 12 where if you are a guy like that you're basically just sticking your head in the meat grinder to get to basic competitiveness in the conference.
