NCAA Discussion / Re: Al Riveron steps down as ACC coordinator
« Last post by zebrastripes on July 09, 2026, 10:08:00 AM »
Highly doubt Riveron is in contention for the NCAA job. Getting that job would require being liked by conference commissioners, and by all accounts AR is not highly regarded as a person.

My theory is that he was going into the last year of his contract and was told he was not going to be renewed, so decided to step down “on his own terms.”

Most of the best ACC officials have departed since Al got the job – Mullins, Patterson, Heaser, Flanagan, Savoie, as well as plenty of non-Rs. No one is going to pretend like that’s a coincidence.

What 9 yard mark requirements are there for Team B?  I saw that listed under the mechanics for the umpire on the new free kick after a fair catch.  Still not sure why U is on B's restraining line and S is on team A's.  I would have left them in their normal free kick positions.

Interesting points and valid. The Team B requirement is very puzzling. I didn’t see in the mechanics as to who is supposed to wind the clock. Did I miss it? NCAA it is the R, H, and L.

I knew what he meant. Don’t think that is happening though.

I think he means 'suspicious' as in, might be linked to being named replacement for Steve Shaw. That 's what I thought he meant, at least.

What do you mean by the timing isn’t suspicious?

Timing isn’t suspicious at all. /s

Any thoughts on who his replacement will be?

The 3 & 4 Man Mechanic Manuals are out to include the Clock/Chains Manual. Anyone know when the 5 and 7 man will post? I know they are working through details of the Fair Catch/Free Kick mechanic.
