I thought Purnell did a pretty darn good job during his time here, but he burned his bridge to Clemson when he left out of the blue, leaving nothing in the cupboard to build around. Part of the reason we struggle so much now can be directly attributed to him.

administration. Fans would be happy, but, there is a chance the team might struggle due to players being recruited for BB's system not translating to OP's system.

Marshall has done a great job RECORD wise at Wichita ST. If you look at the schedule they have not played a ranked opponent this year. They played a very weak schedule last year. I know they made the final 4 but when you can spend your whole season developing your team against weak a schedule you can go a lot farther. You can play kids that would not play in a ACC schedule. Missouri St is the only team that has given them a scare but the shockers won in OT.

So I could fire the mathaflaker! I'd have fired him years before he quit.

CU would NOT take him back
Jan 29, 2014, 10:40 AM
|
|
there is a reason he left in the middle of the night with no warning.
and he wouldn't be an upgrade over what we have now.
so - to answer your questions - no and no.

He hasn't done anything here at DePaul, so why would Clemson want him back? I wouldn't hire him to coach a little league team after the way he left the Tigers.

HELL NO!
There are to many Coaches to choose from to retread one.
If the K State Coach is successful at being a retread then he will be the first.
Petrino and U of L are trying the same thing.

I totally understand Clemson isn't going land a BIG NAME coach at Clemson.(in Bask) But we do need to hire a young, energetic coach. Who can develop players, recruit and plays a style suited to be successful in the ACC---cause the current 1...SURE ISN'T.

He's right on the cusp, though. We're 1 or 2 guys away from being a consistent upper-half ACC program.
I disagree, however, that we won't land a big name basketball coach. If SCU can do it in football, Clemson can do it on the basketball court! It's only a matter of time.

I wouldn't give him a 2nd chance. But, with that
said. I would like to see another hire with a similar
style.
For me (w/ BB)...if we don't make some sort of post season
tourn. that's the breaking point.
