Coaches
The conference had two new head coaches for the 2014 football season. Wake Forest hired Dave Clawson from Bowling Green one week after 13-year coach Jim Grobe resigned after his fifth straight losing season.{{cite web | year=2013 | title=Wake Forest hires Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson| publisher= USA Today| url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/12/09/wake-forest-hires-bowling-green-coach-dave-clawson/3940901/| access-date= 4 August 2014}} Wake Forest athletic director, Ron Wellman, stated that their preference was to hire someone with experience coaching a private school. Clawson previously coached at FCS Fordham and Richmond before leading FBS Bowling Green to three bowl appearances and a conference title in the past five years. Louisville also changed coaches prior to the 2014 season. Former head coach Charlie Strong left the Louisville program following the 2013 season to take the head coaching position at Texas.{{cite web | year=2014 | title=It's official: Charlie Strong to Texas| publisher= sportingnews.com| url=http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2014-01-05/charlie-strong-tells-louisville-hell-leave-become-texas-coach| access-date= 4 August 2014}} Following his departure, Louisville rehired former head coach Bobby Petrino to a seven-year contract.{{cite web | author= Joe Shad and Brett McMurphy| year=2014 | title=Louisville hires Bobby Petrino| publisher= ESPN.com| url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/10268012/louisville-cardinals-hire-bobby-petrino-football-coach| access-date= 4 August 2014}} Petrino formerly coached Louisville from 2003 to 2006 before leaving to coach at Arkansas. He spent his 2013 season as the head coach of Western Kentucky, where he led the team to an 8–4 record.

Notre Dame partnership
Starting in 2014, Notre Dame is scheduled to play five games against ACC opponents annually. Each ACC team will play Notre Dame at least once during a three-year period.{{cite web | author= Matt Fortuna| year=2013 | title=Clarifying Notre Dame's ACC arrangement| publisher= ESPN.com| url=https://www.espn.com/blog/notre-dame-football/post/_/id/14424/clarifying-the-acc-arrangement| access-date= 19 November 2014}} Due to scheduling constraints however, the 2014 Notre Dame team will only play four ACC opponents, but will play six in 2015 to even out the schedule.{{cite web| author= JJ Stankevitz| year= 2014| title= ACC deal another necessary change for Notre Dame| publisher= CSN Chicago| url= http://www.csnchicago.com/notre-dame/acc-deal-another-necessary-change-notre-dame| access-date= 19 November 2014| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141230170642/http://www.csnchicago.com/notre-dame/acc-deal-another-necessary-change-notre-dame| archive-date= 2014-12-30| url-status= dead}}
