That's my way of thinking as well and to keep it simple I just added the two rankings together and divided by 2 to get the overall score.

My ranking of ACC Football coaches:

01. Jimbo Fisher
02. Dabo Swinney
03. Bobby Petrino
04. Mark Richt
5a. vacant (this is where Brian Kelly would be if ND football in ACC)
5b. Paul Johnson
06. David Cutcliffe
07. Larry Fedora
08. Bronco Mendenhall (yes terrible first year at UVA, but did well at BYU)
09. Justin Fuente
10. Dave Doeren
11. Dino Babers
12. Dave Clawson
13. Steve Addazio
14. Pat Narduzzi (definitely a coach who could rise quickly, but only one season as a head coach, so not a lot to do a reasonable analysis against others on the list - and coaching in the easier division at this point)

ACC Men's Basketball Coaches

01. Coach K
02. Rick Pitino
03. Roy Williams
04. Jim Boeheim
5a. vacant (this is where Mike Brey would be if ND football in ACC)
5b. Jim Larranaga
06. Tony Bennett
07. Buzz Williams
08. Leonard Hamilton
09. Josh Pastner
10. Kevin Stalling
11. Brad Brownell
12. Danny Manning
13. Mark Gottfried
14. Jim Christian


Overall (if there is a tie between two teams than tiebreaker is football coach's rank)

01. Louisville (3 + 2 = 5/2 = score of 2.5)
02. Duke (6 + 1 = 7/2 = score of 3.5)
03. FSU (1 + 8 = 9/2 = score of 4.5)
04. Miami (4 + 5 = 9/2 = score of 4.5; tiebreaker goes to FSU)
05. UNC (7 + 3 = 10/2 = score of 5.0)
06. Clemson (2 + 11 = 13/2 = score of 6.5)
07. GT (5 + 9 = 14/2 = score of 7.0)
08. UVa (8 + 6 = 14/2 = score of 7.0; tiebreaker goes to GT)
09. VT (9 + 7 = 16/2 = score of 8.0)
10. SU (12 + 4 = 16/2 = score of 8.0; tiebreaker goes to VT)
11. NCSt (10 + 13 = 23/2 = score of 11.5)
12. Wake (12 + 12 = 24/2 = score of 12.0)
13. Pitt (10 + 14 = 24/2 = score of 12.0; tiebreaker goes to Wake)
14. BC (13 + 14 = 27/2 = score of 13.5)

If ND football was currently in the ACC, they would have tied UNC for 5th but won the tiebreaker, pushing UNC and everyone else down 1 spot.

In a few years time I suspect this list will change drastically, but this is how I see it now.

Cheers,

My list would be similar with only a few changes. On the football side I would swoop Richt & Bobby & I would have Fuente & maybe Narduzzi a little higher. On the basketball side I would put Roy ahead of Rick since he spent some time in the NBA. I would also have TB & Manning a little higher.
