As Georgia Tech athletic director Todd Stansbury conducts his search for coach Paul Johnson’s successor, he’s got quite a perk to offer to candidates. The new hire’s first game as Yellow Jackets head coach will not be an FCS walkover, but instead at Clemson on a Thursday night, Aug. 29, 2019.
It will be the first game in the launch of the ACC Network, which will go on air a week earlier than the opener, on Aug. 22. The Tech-Clemson series is one of the oldest in the ACC, one that well predates the conference’s founding in 1953. It is evidently a matchup that the conference believes can drive interest and viewership.
