![]() UNC is the traditional rival for the Wolfpack, and NC State coaches largely will be evaluated by the fan base based on how they fare against the Tar Heels. NC State’s Dave Doeren: You can only beat one of the two, Clemson or North Carolina, but you get to beat whoever you choose every year. So, when can Miami fans start seeing meaningful victories? What’s Cristobal’s internal timeline for Miami to get to double-digit wins? What has Cristobal promised UM’s administration behind closed doors? And how long have they told him they’ll really have his back? - Navarro He fired his offensive coordinator and had no problem watching several other high-paid assistants leave town while flushing out the roster. Miami is spending like it never has, and Cristobal’s first season back home yielded an ugly 5-7 record. Miami’s Mario Cristobal: When can we expect Miami to achieve sustained success for multiple seasons? What is Brohm’s honest assessment of the job Satterfield did and the state in which he left the program? - Kyle Tucker Louisville settled for Satterfield, who went 25-24 before jumping on an escape pod to Cincinnati in December. But it is especially interesting to imagine where the Cardinals would be now had Brohm jumped at the first chance to return as the coach five years ago. There are so many things we’d like to get Brohm’s unvarnished answers on. Louisville’s Jeff Brohm: What would the program look like if you took the job in 2018 instead of Scott Satterfield? Key has coached with the best in Nick Saban, but what Key takes away from Collins’ disastrous tenure at Georgia Tech will be important to his success. Most of us have had good bosses and bad bosses, and there are things that can be learned from both. Georgia Tech’s Brent Key: As a first-time head coach, what did you learn, good and bad, as a member of Geoff Collins’ coaching staff? Is Norvell committed to putting in deep roots and riding things out even if he’s losing coordinators and assistants to SEC and Big Ten schools with deeper wallets? Or, will he pull a Jimbo Fisher and look for a better financial situation? - Manny NavarroĪCC realignment rumblings: How airtight is grant of rights? But let’s assume Norvell lives up to the contract extension he signed, earning between $8 and $9 million per year through 2029 and the Seminoles become regular Playoff contenders from now until then. ![]() Norvell has had one good season: last year’s 10-3 mark following 3-6 and 5-7 seasons. But what’s realistic on a year-to-year basis, especially in an ACC without divisions? - Nicole Auerbachįlorida State’s Mike Norvell: If Florida State can’t get into the SEC or Big Ten before the ACC’s TV deal ends in 2036 - and staying in the league creates an insurmountable financial barrier to win a championship - how long will you give it before you consider leaving Tallahassee? Elko is a terrific defensive coach, and he clearly made some great hires on the offense Duke’s Riley Leonard should be one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC. But in Elko’s first season, Duke was a smashing success. This is a hard job, and everyone knows it. Clemson had its run through the College Football Playoff with six consecutive appearances and two national championships from 2015-20, but is this the beginning of the end? - Grace Raynorĭuke’s Mike Elko: What is the actual ceiling of this program? ![]() ![]() It’s no secret that all programs not in one of the two super conferences are about to be on the outside looking in. What the heck happened to the program that hoped to be a Top 25 contender last season only to finish 3-9? - Pete SampsonĬlemson’s Dabo Swinney: If Clemson isn’t in the SEC or Big Ten, is it still possible to be a national power, considering the widening revenue gap? Now Jurkovec is starting at Pittsburgh and you’re on your third offensive coordinator in three years. When Jurkovec arrived, he was touted as the quarterback to turn around Boston College, an NFL arm who’d develop in your pro-style system. Boston College’s Jeff Hafley: Where did it go wrong with Phil Jurkovec?
