Flashback to the Clemson sports 2010 ... things not always


Feb 13, 2022, 11:30 AM

... what they seem.

Dabo Swinney had just completed a miserable 6-7 campaign culminating in a disheartening loss in the Meineke Bowl.

It appeared that our football fortunes were headed south ... but at least we’d chosen well in basketball!

Popular hoops coach Oliver Purnell quit on us, but we’d hired a guy called Brad Brownell who promptly took Purnell’s players and Clemson to an NCAA Tournament bid right out of the gate.

Things seemed pretty clear.

Then ... the next decade happened.

...And things are STILL clear. It's just that they are clear

completely in the opposite direction of what we may have thought coming out of 2010.

That is 1000% true, but I did have a sense of optimism for the football team during that time. You could see the drive Dabo displayed and the desire to get things turned around. Now I will be the first to say that I had no idea that football would have been this good. I’m currently playing with house money…with 3 national championships in my lifetime. Basketball no optimism since Barnes left for Texas. Not sure how far we could have possibly went with him staying on and will never know, but his teams played hard and were competitive.

I have said it over and over again, we are not a basketball or a baseball school. Facts are facts. Football success has zero to do with success in other sports.

what annoys me is we could have good basketball. That what we have is toleatrated for so long astounds me. Clemson people should demand better
