If the Coots can attract

A good football coach because they are in the SEC then why the heck wouldn't we be able to attract a good basketball coach because we are in the ACC? Seriously, when the time comes for a change, we can attract some decent prospective coaches.

Yes we can but the bigger issue is....

will the University be willing to put together a compensation package that a coach of that caliber will merit.

The Coots got SOS because they were willing to pay for SOS. I don't see Clemson ever forking out big cash for a basketball coach.

with Petino, Boeheim, Dixon, and Brey in the league BB is not in the top 7. Gottfried probably makes more too.

clemson was willing to pay upper dollar for op. i'd hope cu's investment in their coach will match its investment in the facilities as well.
they've recently shown the ability & desire to do so with op.

He was there a few years before he got a big pay day. If memory serves, his base salary was less than $225,000 per year.

lj, whether op earned 4th highest pay money in year 1 or 4, clemson was willing to pay it.

they paid it and i believe in support of the $63mil investment they'd do it again to attract someone.
they did not have to invest in op, it was a choice and a positive statement about clemson's willingness to "play" in d1 basketball.

When is the last time Clemson paid top dollar.....
Mar 4, 2015, 10:05 AM
|
|
to attract a head coach in any sport?
The next time it happens may very well be the first time. It's just not something Clemson does.
If they were willing to do so, why didn't they do it when OP departed for DePaul or when Bowden was fired. Instead they opted to promote Dabo and hire Brownell from Wright State and just like Dabo, Brownell began his tenure at Clemson modestly compensated.

when he was hired back in 2014, he was considered one of the top "young" coaches in the nation which further supports my position that Clemson does not typically go after veteran coaches who would garner much higher compensation packages. In fact, I believe he was an assistant coach at UNC when Clemson hired him.

they offered the coach from mississippi state ~$2mil.***

$2MIL
the first call tdp made was to offer the football job to butch davis which would have been another major move.
this isn't your clemson where hatfield was a huge higher, tommy bowden was paid righteous bucks to leave tulane.
if there's one thing i agree with the brad supporters, he was rushed into a difficult situation with the way op left town.

of Clemson offering Stansbury close to $2 million and that may be true but I have never heard anyone with any actual knowledge comment on the specifics of the discussions with Stansbury.
At the time I believe Stansbury was making about $1.3 million annually at MSU.

I agree. Really wish we could get Shaka Smart. He has done an incredible job at VCU. Love his coaching style and think with just little tweaking and recruiting we could be a big time contender in the ACC.HE IS already recruiting some of the states best players to go to VCU.
