This will be the fifth straight season the ACC sees at least one new head coach, the 11th coaching change in the past seven years.
The newcomer in 2020-21 is Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes, an Iowan who’s made more professional stops than a streetcar and won three quarters of his games as a head coach.
Wake is Forbes’s 11th stop since embarking on a college coaching path during the 1989-90 season. That was after a year as sports information director at Southern Arkansas, his alma mater, where Forbes surely realized there was a more prestigious (or at least more lucrative) career in directing players than in hyping them.
