It didn’t take Steve Forbes to prove that he belonged in the ACC. In his first season, despite getting the job quite late, despite Covid and recruiting problems, and despite a very limited roster, by the end of the year, Wake Forest was a tough out. That team really improved.
And last year, the Demon Deacons could play with just about anyone in the ACC. Wake Forest finished 25-10 and 13-7 in conference. That’s up from 6-16 in his first season which is a heck of an improvement. Who goes up 19 wins in a year? Not many.
