Becky Burleigh - U of F Head Coach announces retirement

[Unregistered]

To the genius comparing acc and sec players. How many natl championships has acc won when you exclude UNC. 1 Virginia and 2 FSU which should be an sec school. Virginia 1 and Florida 1 you wanna be expert. PS what’s the last time UNC won a natl championship

With the most talented players with athleticism, soccer skills and soccer IQ , UNC has not won a national championship in over 20 years. Someone is forgetting that it takes a perfect storm of talent coming together as a team to win. It can be a little luck too like the perfect goal, or the opposition makes a big mistake. Penalty kick wins are hit or miss.

UNC would have gotten Abby far from her parents but UNC did not offer her a full scholarship and UF did.

Bring on the Abby legend as the next UF coach and keep the UF assistant coach and operations staff for consistency in the transition. Becky could be the consultant on developing the team dynamics.

You are an idiot and have zero credibility.

UNC won National Championships in 2012 and 2009. That's two in the last 10 years. Plus two runners up.

Please refer to the previous post displaying ACC dominance as a quick reference guide.

Thanks.

Legends and coaching don't always work out!

Explains how players seek out UNC and the USWNT connections. UF and Becky perform at a high level considering they don’t have the same level of talent as UNC.

Pac12 can make a case for sure and has almost as strong of a resume, but ACC gets the nod because of depth and overall strength top to bottom.

Which Pac-12 team is afraid of Miami??

Will UF hire a coach from the ACC or PAC 12 after reading TS?

I may regret this when the whole thread disintegrates into the old "technical skills and soccer IQ vs. size and sheer athleticism" debate.

But, in general, the ACC has more soccer players that are super athletic with high soccer skills and soccer IQ and the SEC has more soccer players that are incredibly athletic (tall, strong, fast, powerful and leaping ability) and lower soccer skills and soccer IQ.

Which leads to two very different styles of play (generally speaking) and different levels of success in the Round of 8 and beyond.

OP here. Just came back after posting this yesterday. I knew this would generate a dust up but didn’t realize so many folks would pile on.

1) To the person that asked if “stereotype much”, I can only imagine that you were thinking of Northerner vs. Southerner thing or a racial Black vs. White thing but I wasn’t - you went there. But now that you mention it there a some significant difference in the student-athletes (in general) between the 2 conferences.
2) Thank you to the poster that took the time to post the distinct, quantitative differences between the success of the 2 conferences the last 10 years. Conclusive evidence, even though some people tried to “cherry pick” statistics to refute the evidence.
3) If you don’t like concrete statistics - just use the eye test. After watching many, many college games which involved teams from both conferences you would have to admit that the generalizations above about the 2 conferences are very accurate.
4) Finally, as the parent of a kid that was recruited by schools in each of the 2 conferences, I’m not making this up. The coaches recruiting for colleges will tell you directly what they are looking for in players to be successful in that conference like “to win in the SEC we need players that are X,Y and Z and can do A,B and C at a high level.” I heard it straight from the horses (coaches) mouth.

And to all the experts in last 10 years since acc has all these studs with soccer iq above all other conferences. How many youth world cups have US youth since most of youth Natl team players play in acc. It’s an easy guess. So stop with acc best athletes and soccer IQ.
