Mickey,

Here are a few facts about Clemson basketball.

1. Clemson has gotten worse each year under Coach Brownell.

NO coach acquires equity.

Bobby Bowden was let go 3 years too late. Tommy Bowden, 2 years too late. Giving coaches second chances based on the past is laughable. They know going into this business that it's a "what have you done for me today" profession.

BB needs to be given two more years; if he can't get over the hump by then, a change should be made. This guy is a very knowledgeable and good coach who has had some difficult situations and just plain bad luck. This year's low scoring team and "boring" brand of basketball is due solely to his understanding we can't win playing track basketball. He is trying to win with the current players and has generally been in most ball games.

As for Jack, I know Mickey is a huge fan but what happens with LeCroy leaves? We'll be back to the lack of talent that we have seen for so long. His record the past 5-7 years is pitiful for a program of this caliber. He is just managing the decline of a once elite program. The Dirt Peckers hope he stays forever.

Would you support Brownell if


Mar 8, 2013, 1:51 PM

he won games in the NCAA tournament every year and was in the final 4 two years ago?

That's the Clemson baseball program but you still want Leggett gone. I don't understand it. They were playing great baseball heading into regionals last year and would have advanced in any other regional but barely lost to what ended up being the runner-up team in the country. The only reason you think it's terrible is because Scar was the team.

Support the team and stop with all the nonsense garbage about the program being terrible.

If you think the baseball team has been anything other than average the past few years, we'll just agree to disagree. We had an elite program prior to his arrival, we have elite facilities, have a great region to recruit from and yet, are just barely a Top 25 program right now. If you want to be NCSU in baseball, Jack is fine; if you want to be in contention for the national championship, I don't see him getting us there. He's not a horrible coach but he's not outstanding either. He is not well liked by a LOT of HS coaches and LeCroy may be able to save him from himself - time will tell.

I have expectations that our baseball program sustain the level of a Top Ten team; what are your expectations?

And by the way, I don't need YOU to tell me what or who to support. Just because you don't like what I post doesn't mean crap to me. Disagree if you want but do us all a favor and get over yourself.

I would say KJ McDaniel is the 2nd best. We sure have been

Brownell needs to be let go plain and simple. He has not done anything for the program but show a steady decline. The administration let go Coleman but not Brownell! Really!!!! I mean really!!!!

What is Brownell's brand of basketball? >Steady decline but Admin support)<

I can tell you OP's (full court press and green light to run to the court) >(3 plus 20 win seasons, College Game Day, NCAA appearances and national exposure but no Admin support)

I see a huge problem that ran deeper than the support of a winning coach. I may now see why OP never wanted to fully disclose the reason for the abrupt departure. He was fed up with the BS!!

The Clemson fans are here and will support a brand of basketball that is ACC worthy. Look how they came out to support the team when a worthy coach when was on the sidlines. "Little John Was Rocking." The administration for some reason did not see the need to support that kind of winning and national exposure. The brand sold and the people came out to support in record numbers. From day one the approval was not positive and confirms what the masses new all along.

A national search needs to be done for the mens program rather then the womens program.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We were already declining when OP left, that is WHY he left.


Mar 9, 2013, 1:09 PM

3 Straight tourney defeats, each one worse than the last...Yeah , that's why OP ran....

You guys are going to be all BB when he starts winning. OP decimated the program, BB has gotten a couple of good players and is going to develop KJ, Nnoko and Roper. There is a decent core returning. We will be better next year and in 2 years really good.

BB is the man. Leave him alone, let him work - oh and give the students more and better seats.

David hit on a pet peeve of mine, and worse than seeing it in Littlejohn is seeing it when we play the coots in Death Valley. The stadium was brimming with them, and so many are not first class fans one enjoys being near. I would like to see a policy adopted that results in having ticket privileges revoked if a "fan" gives/sells his tickets to a coot who acts up, especially if our "fan" isn't willing to sit with the coot to help maintain order. They do it at The Masters where unruly fans are escorted out and badges are confiscated and privileges revoked, and it works very effectively. You might say, well then we wouldn't get tickets for those games in cola, to which my response is, who really wants to spend time there, anyway. After going there (and I haven't been in a long time) I couldn't wait to get home and take a shower. Also, very few of our fans are of the "class" of theirs, so it wouldn't be much of an issue for those who did want to brave the "dark and seedy side".
