Mike Young


Jan 29, 2022, 3:51 PM

Mike Young seemed to be a popular choice among many Clemson fans to replace Brownell a few years ago before he was hired by Va Tech.

Virginia Tech had turned into a pretty strong basketball program under Buzz Williams. It hasn't been as good under Mike Young so far. 16-16, 15-7 and 10-10 this season.

Based on this, I think it is probable Young would have Larry Shyatt type of seasons at Clemson.

He took over a program about equal to where Clemson was when Brownell took over (3 straight tourneys) and has done no worse than Brownell in his first 3 years. Brownell won 22 conference games in his first 3 years and Mike Young has won 18 with 11 games to go this year and was shorted 7 games last season. Most importantly Mike Young is 3-0 against Brownell as coach of Va Tech.

Mike Young was in our backyard for a long time and we didn’t go get him. He proves he’s the better coach whenever he plays us. I believe he beat us once while at his old job just for good measure. Meanwhile, we continue to be somewhere south of mediocre.

So proving he is a better coach is beating Clemson even if his team is .500 on the season and doesn't make the big dance?

Yep!

When you use forced comparison.

I think we were only playing 16 or 18 conf games


Feb 3, 2022, 12:04 AM [ in reply to Re: Mike Young ]

when Brownell started coaching here. Young’s teams play 20 minus the Covid year. Can’t really compare total wins. You need to dig deeper and look at % for the most accurate info.

Lol. Clemson plays home and home vs FSU every season. When have they won in Talahessee? Never under Brad.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well he’s right. We won the 2nd game 2 years ago


Feb 3, 2022, 12:01 AM

Split last year and won the first this year. So 3 of 4!is accurate.

Re: Well he’s right. We won the 2nd game 2 years ago


Feb 3, 2022, 12:12 AM

Isn't that just 3 games? 2 last year and 1 this year so far?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

the 2nd game of the 2 game series in 2019-2020 season was at


Feb 3, 2022, 8:58 AM

Clemson and we won. That is the start of the last 4 games. 1 in 2019-2020, 2 in 2020-2021, and 1 so far in 2021-2022

Virginia Tech got blown out at home by Wake Forest, 80-61. Lost to Dayton, lost to NCSU at home (Clemson beat NC State on the road), lost to Virginia in Charlottesville (Clemson won there in a blowout), they lost to BC which ya'll consider a bad team, etc.

FSU has been very good in recent years. Clemson is typically a tough team to beat at home under Brownell.

Clemson won at FSU in 2013 and 2014.

Brownell had beat BC 9 straight times prior to their big comeback win this year. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/play-index/matchup_finder.cgi?request=1&year_min=1950&year_max=2022&comp_school=le&rank_school=ANY&comp_opp=le&rank_opp=ANY&school_id=clemson&opp_id=boston-college&game_type=A&order_by=date_game


He's 17-7 against Georgia Tech which had has more success historically and is located in a huge city. Keep in mind it took G Tech winning 3 out of the last 4 to get it into within 10.

He's only lost 2 games to Wake Forest in his entire tenue.

He is 10-9 against NC State, a solid program.

He is 9-2 against Pitt, winning 9 in a row, many of them blowouts or comfortable wins. He's a respectable 5-6 against Syracuse which has a hall of fame coach.

He is 6-5 against South Carolina, winning the last 4 out of 5. He's 2-1 against Alabama, and 2-1 against Auburn with a big tournament blowout. He's won 3 out the past 5 with Lville and Clemson has a good chance to beat them this year.

He has won 3 out of the last 4 against UNC. He's 1-0 against Ohio State and 1-0 against Florida. He's 2-1 against UGA.

He's made two out of the past 4 NCAA tournaments.
