So happy for Brownell, and happy to eat crow.

I have been extremely critical of Brownell as a coach in recent years. I didn't think he was getting the job done, and I was ready for Clemson to move in another direction. I also had low expectations, based on my history as a faithful, long-suffering Clemson basketball fan, for this basketball team. I am happy to report, that once again, it looks like I was wrong. I never questioned Brownell's heart or integrity, I was only looking at results. I know he's one of the good guys, and he's done it the right way here at Clemson. Nobody deserves success more than he does, and I hope he takes this exciting young team that he has built and goes all the way, in spite of dolts like me.

Yeah, I should have qualified all of that. Still obvious

that this team is a little different than anything Brownell has had thus far. Or at least I think so at this point.

Good win tonight

Bama had very active hands on D. Loved to see how we annihilated their press at the end. And our depth is really the big difference I notice between this team and most other Tiger squads over the years. Lots of contributors. I think we’ll have a very fun season (fingers crossed that the season can be played through)!

I wanted him gone 3 years ago and I’m starting to believe I might have been wrong. This season is very early but if you look closely over the last 3 years improvement has been made. That’s all I really ask for and evidently if it keeps happening a special year happens. This could be that season

I am very glad to read this.
But frankly, the season is young, and many things can go wrong. The question will be: when they do, how will you think then?
This team hasn't just impressed me by winning, but by how they have done it.
Holding Bama to 70% of their scoring average, on 30% shooting and 14% from 3? Holding their starting trio of Guards to 23 instead of 43?
Overcoming 21 turnovers, foul trouble across the board, FT shooting under 50%, and losing our best scorer by halftime?
Yeah, an ugly but impressive win.

Brownell is the winningest coach in Clemson basketball history.
Dec 13, 2020, 8:41 PM
|
|
He has the all-time record for total wins as well as ACC winning percentage. He is the only coach to win in Chapel Hill. He is highly respected by his peers, he runs a clean program, and has achieved record academic performance and graduation rates.
Our Sweet 16 season wasn’t “lucky.” In fact, it was unlucky because we lost arguably our best player (Grantham) during the season. But we still made it one of our best seasons in program history.
Even if you can’t respect those accomplishments, you should at least be able to acknowledge the fact that we are off to a great start this year. What’s wrong with enjoying the ride? You are a Clemson basketball fan, right?!?

Browne ll sucks he’s made it to ncaa s one time? He should have been fired years ago and d rad gave him an extension ! Tell you what if he makes ncaa s this year I may change my mind but how many years past have his teams started out great before January only to not even go .500 in acc?

First of all, Brownell doesn't suck.

Second, he's made two NCAA Tournaments, not one.
Third, he got an extension because it's obvious to many people that he's an excellent coach who has made do with limited resources. Now that he has better facilities (no longer among the worst in the ACC) and has been able to make the coaching hires he wants (rather than being restricted by a low budget for staff positions), recruiting has improved. Our top 25 class for 2020 is an excellent one, and arguably the best class we've had in the last 30 years.
I realize that none of this information is going to change your mind, because you're unwilling to see beyond your own (ignorant) opinion. Carry on.

Dude, you can stop now.
Once you say, " I'm not a fan of the most successful coach we've ever had because I want to use a 40-year old measuring stick (# of Big Dance appearances)", you have no hope of improving your case.

Brad took over a program with issues, and he also needed improved facilities and approval from the athletic department for additional staff hires. As I'm sure you know, as a Clemson basketball fan, he didn't get those until well into his tenure. No reasonable AD is going to fire a coach he knows hasn't had what he needs to be successful.

I have happily had to eat some crow this season as well. The improvements have been there but I didn’t expect them to take the next step under Brownell.
Happy to be wrong. Multiple times this year the team went cold and easily could have folded. Every game so far not only did they not fold they ramped it up and when on scoring drives to blow the game out. I know it’s early but we have some very quality wins so far and I think we will do well in the ACC.

I have watched a majority of Brownell's home games and I can't remember once him playing so how did he fold down the stretch.

For not other reason, other than we have stayed out of trouble (NCAA sanction, Paying players, shady agent deals, adidas-gate, tons of transfers), I figured we'd always be at a disadvantage until a lot of that was cleaned up. With that, I was willing to give a little more leeway.
If a lot of these powerhouses would get the hammer from the NCAA, and the agents were put behind bars and the kids losing eligibility would start to happen, I'd like to think we'll get better in the future.

I was wondering the same thing. Since the shoe companies and AAU fiascoes, I am wondering if clean coaches like Coach Brownell can now recruit on a more even level. I loved his post game comments last night, basically telling Simms if he can't stay out of foul trouble, he has two young bigs who can get it done.

I have always pulled for him and I’m cautiously optimistic, but it seems like there is always some excuse with Clemson BB. We still have these bizarre droughts where we look lost that let teams back in the game but otherwise have looked great.
I’ll hold my crow eating until we get to ACC play and then will happily do so if this continues. Getting off the snide in Chapel Hole bought him lots of grace from me but he has a long way to go.

The way our conference schedule is set up is brutal. We got no favors from the league. Many of our home games against the weaker teams not until very end of season.
