Yes, perception is important - maybe the ACC schools will do OK in the remaining bowls. FSU WILL be great again - they now have a very competent coaching staff in place from top to bottom and recruiting will uptick - that is clear from the class just salvaged. Taggert was a nice guy but I had no confidence in his assistant coaches - a number of them from USF stayed at Oregon and he brought in Kendall Briles and Randy Clements one year too late to save himself. If we beat Miami like a drum (as Clemson did causing them to fire Al Golden mid season) hasta la vista to the UM coaching staff - this is like a hanging mobile - one change here affects things elsewhere, and if one day Miami does come back fully they will be a terror again - the reason Florida stopped playing them after 1987.

North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Louisville do have potential to be consistently good. I include UNC as they could be the dominant force in North Carolina FB over Duke, Wake Forest, and NC State. Clemson will remain great - their DC Venables is paid like a head coach and two of his sons will play there for the next 4 or 5 years.

I really don't feel bad about millionaire ex-coaches either - as Bobby Bowden once said "there are only two types of coaches, those who have been fired and those who will be fired" although I do feel FSU should have given him one more year after all he had done for them.
