HeelsBlog.Com: Read. Recap. React. :: ACC Coaches and the temperatures of their respective seats

Safe for now: Leonard Hamilton, Seth Greenberg, Frank Haith, Oliver Purnell – All these guys are either new to the ACC or new to their schools, or doing a good job with the talent they have now (Hamilton). Purnell is a great guy and I am pulling for him. Greenberg and Haith have done terrific jobs this season.

Very hot: Herb Sendek – In the case of both he and Gillen, in the games against the Heels so far at least, I really felt like the teams under these men weren’t playing to win, but playing not to lose badly. That’s no way to succeed.

Gone: Pete Gillen. – I really feel sorry for the guy. He’s coaching for his career this year. But going to the school you left and losing by over 20 is just sad. UVA can’t open their new arena with PG at the helm. I wish him the best.

But don't forget that Gillen outcoached Sendek in Sendek's house. Unless Sendek keeps us playing the rest of the season like we've played our last 2 games (that's right, finally 2 consecutive conference wins), I'm not sure he doesn't belong with Gillen on that list at best. He's got one more shot against Gillen in March, and if he blows that one, I think it's hopeless. Of course, a big win against UNC on Tuesday would help him out a lot, but I'm not holding my breath.
