This is the third straight season in which a pair of new head coaches landed in the ACC, not as adjuncts to expansion members but as choices to run their teams. Only once since Florida State came aboard in 1992 has there been a three-year period in which so many changes were made directing league programs.
You can readily argue that with more members come more opportunities for change. There are more posts to fill, after all. There’s more pressure to keep up, too, and more hiring mistakes to be made in trying to do so.
Then there are coaches like Pitt’s Jamie Dixon (or Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim, for that matter) who don’t want to be in the ACC, and jump ship after their school joins.
