That doesn't help w/ many CU fans. Otherwise a good talk.

I feel much better now that Rick Barnes approves.

Not. I felt better before Rick Barnes opened his yap. That's not our new coaches fault though. I think he will do well for Clemson. I am pleased with this hire.

Rick Barnes has been to one more Final Four than Clemson has ever been to. And he was a great coach when he was here.
Just sayin'...

I was surprised to see him quoted to be honest.

I thought his CU ties were forever severed. That said, he is a good coach and if he knows the new guy and can speak inhis favor, the way the dude at Butler did, then I think that's fine.

he probably called a couple people to say "tell me about that job a little bit...this ad seems to be a bit of a dbag, and i just want to what i'm getting into".
i'm just guessing about the dbag ad part..

And you are Xactly right. Barnes had the CU student body and alumni roaring. The negatives come because the way (as some reported)left. He was a very, very good coach at Clemson.

He sounds like he is going to be a great motivator. He said he wasn't going to back down from the Goliaths of this conference by him or his players.

I will fight for Clemson. Corny & sweet like corn pops.

I know that incoming coaches have to spew some rah rah BS for the fans, but this batch seemed extra corny and artificially sweet.
"I felt like I fit the Clemson family..." "I am a Clemson man all the way." Really? After a couple talks with the TDP? Wow!
I'd be happy just to hear him say that it's a great opportunity and that he's going work his tail off to win championships.
I wish him well.

I don't like Barnes but that has nothing to do with what he did while here. It is how he left and where he went (I HATE tu). I certainly did like it that Barnes defended his player and stood up the unc. If Brownell brings that then that is a good start.
I don't know how good of an X's and O's type guy or recruiter he is but certainly seems enthusiastic.
Well see how well we do on the court but he is the Clemson coach and I will support him until the time that he is not.
