How They Started: First Year Records For ACC Coaches

Since the 2010-11 season, when Wright State’s Brad Brownell came aboard, through 2021-22, the ACC has seen 19 new coaches join its ranks.

Only twice over those dozen years, in 2014 and 2016, has there been no turnover on the sidelines.

While the pay is substantial, job security has not been great. Nine schools changed oncourt leaders at least twice since 2011. Four have started over three times – Boston College, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Wake.

At BC there is a fourth new coach, Earl Grant, since the school joined the ACC in 2006 and quickly ousted long-time success Al Skinner.
