I don't see Brownell getting fired soon because.........


Feb 13, 2022, 11:45 AM

with the turmoil in the football program after last season we need to let that settle down first. I'm doubting that the AD/Administration will want to add to that right now with a basketball HC change.

I do think he needs to be replaced - just don't think the trigger will be pulled this year.

What turmoil was so severe that it makes a difference with basketball? I must have missed it.

Turmoil was too strong a word - I should have said.......

with the coaching changes, etc. in the football program all the attention will probably be on this upcoming season.

But I don't know. Just not sure the new AD's going to want to focus on a HC change in basketball yet.

I do hope he does make it and will support him if he does.

Dang I hope that’s not their thought process. We are currently just kicking the can down the road. We really need a breath of fresh air infused in to the program.

I don’t think ADs think like that


Feb 13, 2022, 11:53 AM

They don’t postpone things a season or final to make a change because things are busy in another sport

ADs are “supposed” to look at the overall athletics program


Feb 13, 2022, 1:41 PM

... but in actuality, they realize and they are motivated by the need to identify and hire coaches who will win big in the highest profile sports.

Of course, fund raising and capital improvements are crucial, but only relative to how those activities will help them identify, hire, and retain a great coach in the highest profile sport(s).

I think our new AD is smart enough to realize that he doesn’t need to do a lot with football, but that history will very likely judge him by how he handles the basketball coaching situation.

He is in an enviable position with the main sport at Clemson, but we see here everyday, that if he doesn’t do something to gain some significant traction in hoops he will never be viewed as more than just another “caretaker” Athletics Director.
