ACC football coaches spoke anonymously about their conference rivals to Athlon Sports. What are they saying about conference favorites like Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Louisville, NC State and Virginia Tech? FSU head coach Mike Norvell was praised for his ability to navigate through distractions. One of the coaches was bullish on Clemson starting QB Cade Klubnik, calling for a breakout season in 2024. Meanwhile, Mario Cristobal at Miami was torched for his questionable coaching decisions and his rivals wonder if Miami can ever reach the potential that comes from their talent level.

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs react to the comments and wonder if teams like NC State and Virginia Tech can exceed their expectations for next season. Can Cristobal use a lack of respect from his peers as motivation for next year? The guys discuss a step forward between Florida State and the ACC in terms of mediation in FSU’s lawsuit in Florida. Are the two sides any closer to reaching a settlement?

    That last comment about the sidelines I agree with 100%. Say what you want about DVD, but he completely regressed under these OC. If the prior coaches were the issue, Michigan won the NC with that offense, MD went 8-5 with 3 of their losses to Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan and Gettis calling the offense. The DC.went to Alabama and they made the playoffs. We finished tied for 9th in the freakin' ACC. 1-5 v ranked teams (TAMU). Nothing in 2 seasons at UM suggests MC can get it done. And don't mention Oregon, Lanning has been doing just fine at Oregon post Mario. Substance > hype. Go Canes.
  • Kenton: FSU’s AD Michael Alford attends every FSU practice & is on a first name basis (he has nicknames for most of them) with every FSU player on the team…but your point is still correct imo. I don’t see any reason the fsu/ACC lawsuit would have any affect on the team’s psyche.
  • @chrisg4931
    Most idiotic statement I read this week. “VT would be nothing without Vick” Facts: VT started winning their 4 ACC championships (6 game appearances) 3 years AFTER Vick left and over the span of 12 years! Now if you would’ve said Va Tech is nothing without Beamer. You’d be closer to being accurate.
  • @wlthomas8
    Are we gonna get the quotes for the rest of the teams?
  • @ericlofroos2405
    The TRUTH is the truth! Mario Sucks at developing players, X’s and O’s, and play calling. I could easily list more things that he stinks at, but you get the point.
  • @j.a.c.7191
    Perception versus reality. If you want to know how much talent the Hurricanes have had, just look at the NFL draft. Mario has had to do a complete roster overhaul, because what he inherited was crap. Not to mention the horrible culture that fake it till you make it Manuel Diaz was running at Miami. Here’s a stat for you ignorant fans, Mario is one of 9 active FBS Head coaches who has won multiple P5 titles. Yep 1 of 9 active coaches!!! It takes time to build, and Mario is building a monster.
  • Time will tell the tale. We will see if Cade and Clemson's offense takes a giant leap forward this year and shuts the mouth of the haters out there or it just continues to embolden more clemson hatred.
  • Dono how can you say Miami hasn't had a more talented roster in a decade but you brag about how Miami out recruits FSU in high school every year. Second you went to the ACC championship in 2017 but got molly wop by Clemson. But if Miami has the talent you say dont go moon walking during the year.
  • @CarlaJenkinsTV
    Mailbag: With the Hoouse vs NCAA settlement coming down, the Power 4 would have to pay $20 million per school. With that added tax, how would that affect realignment knowing that each team you add is an extra $20 million House settlement to that conference?
  • @frankpotter5936
    You are dead wrong about the Hokies' receivers. They are the deepest group on the team (along with DT).
  • @norrisdau
    Where is the lie for Miami??? They on point
  • @B1GNole
    I'll go out on a limb but WHEN the Gators or Miami fire their coaches, the ACC/SEC or wherever Miami ends up better pray that DEION SANDERS doesn't take either of those jobs!
  • @adamwade4764
    @7:38 a defense that couldn't stop a runny nose....I LOVE IT UR THE BEST KENTON
  • @gacanefan
    Debbie was a horrible ad, just ask Maryland and the financial mess she left behind.
  • He's a liabilty to Miami. He won't win the ACC even with the best team that money can buy. As long as coaches named Norvell, Dabo, Doeren, Brohm, and now Lashley are in the ACC, Miami will be 4th/5th in the ACC with Mario's sideline clown show each and every game day. GOOD MORNING ALEX and KENTON! 👋
  • Why is the rest of the conference teams, I forget, they are not important!
