Stitt: "I would have liked to have known ahead of time."


Apr 6, 2010, 8:07 PM

Stitt: "I would have liked to have known ahead of time."

Clemson point guard Demontez Stitt said that he spoke with his former head coach, Oliver Purnell, on Friday, and that everything seemed fine, and he wasn't prepared for Tuesday's blockbuster that Purnell was leaving to take over at DePaul. Full Story »

Well, at least DePaul won't ever get past the first round in the NCAA tourney, not with One and Done Purnell.
Good riddance. OP had taken the Tigers as far as he was capabable. We can't do any worse. OP's winning record was made by beating no body teams prior to the start of playing the ACC schedule. So, I think it will not be too hard to sustain that record. TDP could even bring Tommy Bowden in to be the BB coach and TB might do as well or better than OP. Tommy owes us several million so let him coach BB for a few yrs. at no add. salary. Since we are a football school, having two football coaches would be appropriate.

you are a moron


Apr 6, 2010, 10:19 PM [ in reply to Re: I think what Stitt is saying says alot... ]

1) we beat butler at the start of this year... somehow they don't seem like a no name team.

2) purnell doesn't set the schedule

3) excluding the NCAA tourney, purnell did some amazing things for clemson.

Seriously, why does everyone act like this is such a big deal? He's leaving, get over it. Embrace what we have and move on. Go out and hire the best coach available (again Butler comes to mind).

Re: I hope all the recruits That OP recruits at DePaul


Apr 7, 2010, 1:32 AM [ in reply to I think what Stitt is saying says alot... ]

understand that, after they sin their letter of intent. Op may strap on his sneakers, and sneak out the back door the same way he did at Clemson. And i hope they understand that he is a Quiter when they don't win in the big games. He went up there and told those guys what a great scool DePaul was ( I think we heard that same speach when he came to Clemson ) and can be again. That he only means if not, He will sneak out the back door and leave them emty the way he has done the young recruits and seniors AT CLEMSON. For anyone to think what he has done to those kids is ok, wears that same YELLOW streak down their back as OP surely has down his. Cowards always take the cowardly way out as the coward Oliver Purnell has done to our guys.

COLLEGE: A three-year starter at strong safety for Clemson, finished his career with 234 tackles and 11 interceptions.


Yeah, Purnell actually graduated a player


Apr 6, 2010, 8:36 PM

I don't agree with what he did if he didn't talk to the team, but it's called life.

That's for sure. OP has never taken a job (K-State) and left for another job (WVU) one year later.

I think the team peaked 2 years ago. Seven years without an NCAA win speaks volumes. This is an opportunity to upgrade and I hope we don't blow it.

Yep, he was a class act alright.


Apr 6, 2010, 9:30 PM

I don't care as a fan if I knew he was looking or not---business is business---I'm not gonna get butthurt over it or anything, but to screw over the very players you recruited, what a selfish self-serving jagoff. Any man with half a spine would have asked for the announcement to be withheld until he had time for a team meeting or phone call to each player.

Apr 6, 2010, 10:17 PM [ in reply to Yep, he was a class act alright. ]

I would never have expected that from OP. I'm sure there is an explanation somewhere because he has always seemed to be a man of integrity. He certainly ran our program that way. I am hopeful there is some information forthcoming. We will see......

Know, bro? It really don't matter anymore!


Apr 6, 2010, 10:20 PM

Now we might get a coach that can adjust to officials. Might even get one that can straighten out the fundamentals of freethrows. We still got lotsa talent.

I thought Purnell was a class act but his refusal to tell the team first about his plans shows that I must have been wrong.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Impression and character of OP is much lower now...


Apr 7, 2010, 1:01 PM

He should have told the players beforehand.

Re: Stitt: "I would have liked to have known ahead of time."


Apr 7, 2010, 11:05 PM

Oliver is a terrific coach. I love and miss him. People can blame it on him for us not getting a championship or whatever, but really its the players not the coach. They have to play as a team and it just wasn't working. I hope him accepting this new job that he will win many. Even though he is no longer working as a tiger, he was and we should respect that enough to give him good luck at his next job. Hopefully we can get somebody that is just as good as OP for our next tiger coach.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I disagree

Can't tell me Butler had better players than GT

Some of you guys might get mad, but if Terry Don doesn't get someone decent (Capel or Drew caliber) then he needs to be fired because we don't need another "Larry Shyatt" coach to bring our program down even further. Clemson needs to be trying to have a basketball program that can compete with the top 25 in the nation every year. That is the standard Purnell has set for us so far. I do NOT agree with Purnell's decision but I feel like he did the best thing and got out before we fired him. If we have to spend 1.5-2 million people, don't wine because Clemson needs a coach that has credibility and who is tournament minded and experienced. Your going to have to pay for that. Keep in mind...you get what you pay for. Quality or quantity?
