Greatest Coaches in ACC history
Apr 14, 2015, 9:28 AM

Listening to Finebaum yesterday and they were discussing the best coaches in SEC history (current coaches not included). So who are the top three in ACC history? I think 1 and 2 are no-brainers. 3 was a little harder to come up with.
My top 3
1 - Bobby Bowden
2 - Danny Ford
3 - Bobby Ross

The shared NC might give Ross the edge, but Bill Murray won 7 ACC Championships in 15 years at Duke.

at ESPN Gameday. I don't think anyone will ever have a better Gameday. Of course, the game itself sucked.
