Way back in August, we said SMU football coach Rhett Lashlee was the ACC’s best, most outspoken coach. He’s at it again in the best way possible in the offseason. For the ACC, no matter what happens on the field, the league suffers perception issues. Coaches and ACC media have to promote all the time. It’s just the way it is, and Lashlee does as good a job of this as any coach in the league doing this. Here’s another great interview he’s done this week.

Did Miami’s deep run in the College Football Playoff change the narrative of the ACC?
