ACC Midseason Head Coach Rankings: Mack Brown falls, Tony Elliott rises

The ACC has some of the best well-regarded coaches in college football right now, but they also have some coaches who have had a rough week this past Saturday. Mack Brown and #10 North Carolina fell to a 1-5 Virginia team, Brent Key and Georgia Tech got outscored 21-0 in the 4th quarter against Boston College at home, and Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers fell to Miami in double overtime.

It seems some of the more well-known head coaches like Dabo Swinney and Mack Brown are making the mistakes they didn’t make when they were younger, while coaches like Jeff Brohm and Mike Norvell seem to be taking over the conference.

The ACC is not the best Power 5 conference in college football, but it houses several known powerhouses and even a potential playoff team this year in Florida State. I’m going to take a look at all 14 ACC head coaches and rank them on how well they have done this season. How they’ve been recruiting and coaching this season is going to play a big part.

From Dabo Swinney to Tony Elliott, to Jeff Brohm, here are the ACC head coach mid-season power rankings.
