Questions for the Fire Brownell crowd
Mar 9, 2017, 10:46 AM
|
|
So let's assume DRad relieves CBB of his responsibilities after the season is over. Who exactly is this proven D1 coach that would even give Clemson a sniff? Or do we go with another mid-major up-and-comer and wait 4-5 years to see if he will pan out?
Even if we throw enough $$ at a proven D1 coach to convince them to come, what will we do differently to keep them happy here for more than 3-4 years?

I can't answer who the coach should be, but I will say that
Mar 9, 2017, 10:49 AM

in order for us to have a shot at a proven winner, Clemson will have to make promises/show that we're willing to spend the time and more importantly money to aggressively make the changes needed to make Clemson basketball relevant.

in conjunction with a competitive salary, yes, it is.

Is it simply a question of more time for Brownell? A pay raise?
What else do you think is needed?

Time? Money?
Why do you want to keep him?

I dont think I have read deroberts say he wants to keep him.
Deroberts just supports our coaches until the end. He did the same with Leggett.

I don't see how pointing out the shortcomings of our coach on Tigernet "hurts what needs to be fixed." It is what needs to be fixed.

NO DOUBT. kelly that works with qualk and played at clemson says our arena is now easily in the top 5 of the acc especially the player ammenities. got to get a few more guys in. looks like a pretty good class coming in. hopefully the new stuff helps. trust me i got my doubts about brad but if he is gonna be my coach i am gonna support him 100%

I would have a list with one name on it, Will Wade.
Mar 9, 2017, 10:56 AM

And, I counter your argument with this. Just how proven was Dabo, or for that matter Monte Lee, at the D1 level prior to their being named head coach at Clemson? I wouldn't call College of Charleston exactly big time D1 experience, and Dabo obviously had NO head coaching experience, which is why it took him a little while to find his way. I think the personality has to fit the job as much as anything, and I just don't see the necessary passion for the job in Brownell. I almost wish he would pull a Bobby Knight and throw a chair across the court sometime. At least then we would know it means something to him.

Current or former Duke assistant, same for Louisville, Kentucky, or UNC.
Get someone from a blueblood bball program that knows how to win and can bring energy and excitement.
Seems to have worked with the football program ... no?

if you're referring to Dabo... really your comparison isn't that valid. TB hired Dabo after Dabo had been fired at Bama. he wasn't even in coaching at the time. and when we promoted Dabo, we were a mediocre football team. just not sure there is a one size fits all formula when it comes to hiring coaches.

Start the conversation with Will Wade
Mar 9, 2017, 11:15 AM
|
|
The alumni ties should help. If not, we move on to Keatts at UNC Wilmington. Former coach at Hargrave Military Academy, assistant under Pitino, and is now taking UNC Wilmington to their second NCAA tournament in a row. The team he inherited was 9-23.

That is pretty much all that Clemson bball will be able to do.
Big time coaches from big time programs arent going to want to come to a place where Bball is a very distant second to Football.
The reason I am 100% wanting Will Wade is if he is successful here he will be less likely to jump ship to a better job in the future.

and avoid a guy like Shyatt.
We don't have much to lose. Who cares if we go from a 6 seed in the NIT to missing the NIT.
I know we can "do worse" than Brownell, but all that means is NIT bubble to no NIT. So who cares.

I have made no mistakes. I can do basic Math.
But nice try Viztiz dont you have a baseball caoch to actively pull against?
20+10+12+13+15= 70/5 = 14

Lol - you just argued elsewhere that you want Will Wade because you think he'd be loyal to Clemson and stay which was exactly my argument against Lee. So the rationale is valid when you use it but not me. You also accused someone else of posting under a new name in one of your most recent posts - something you are also known to do. It only ends poorly for me in your delusional, hypocritical mind.

### does that have to do with you trying to call me out here and being 10000% wrong.
Just like a liberal deflect deflect deflect.
So sad... I really am looking forward to collecting on our bet. Some fan you are to bet against the team you supposedly like.
I have never posted under multiple names. That is simply another lie by you. Very sad. Clemtiger117 and this name have never posted at the same time. The day that B-Meist activated this one clemtiger117 was deactivated. I cant log into it even if I wanted to. Dont let facts get in your way though. Heaven knows you never have in the past.
Who does Coach Lee have loyalty to? Scar because he was an assistant there? GMAFB comparing that to being an Alumus is flat out idiotic... Which for you is par for the course.

Unless you actually believe he is going to leave us to go back to CofC.

Comversely why would it matter if Will Wade went to Clemson? Jack Leggett / Clemson have a huge coaching tree and we went completely outside of it. It is the exact same logic you are using, you're just too stupid to see it.

Where the hell are you getting 16.8 from...
Brownells win average not counting this year (Its not over) is 17.8...
You said and I quote "that will win two fewer games per year." You are talking about wins.
17.8 vs 14 that is the win totals from Shyatt to Brownell while at Clemson.

I did say "wins" on this thread initially, but I mistated a previous point above that I posted that you said you checked out.
So, to clarify, Larry Shyatt lost only 2 more games per year than Brownell on average.

The real question is...
Mar 9, 2017, 11:24 AM
|
|
I know we all love Clemson. Think it is the greatest place on earth and it is, but given our BB history -why would a promising coach or an established coach want to come here?

Re: Questions for the Fire Brownell crowd

You are starting with the wrong premise. You can't assume that you know who you are going to hire. Has Brownell earned the right to keep his job? No! He made the NCAA tournament with Purnells kids. With his players, he has failed to make the field. He has even failed to make the NIT every year. It's time for a change. Is it a risk to fire Brownell? Given his track record no! Expensive yes! I don't have a name either but to get a top coach it will involve more than a big salary. The administration has to show real financial support in upgrades for the basketball program. Back basketball like you do football. A new coach as well as recruits will like that. The man we need needs to embrace culture change like Dabo did. Recruiter first and x and os second! Exciting offense! He's out there and there is no excuse for putting up with Brownells crap.

don't think you fire a guy performing at CBB's level unless you feel somewhat certain that you can go out and find someone better...that would be willing to take on the challenge.
DRad would be in a much better position than me (or anyone else on TigerNet except for coachmac) to know this.

I am not sold he isn't about to turn the corner within 2 years. I know that will anger some people, but we may have a good class coming in. It feels like we may be turning the corner because of talent level. That's why I don't mind if he returns. If you go by his past he should be gone, but may be getting is there. It would be awesome if he just turned into the coach we are all looking for.

I don't know who that coach would be or if we should go after a big name, proven winner, or an up and comer, but just because you or I can't answer that, it doesn't by any stretch mean that we should not make a change. Hiring a new coach is always a gamble, as both big names and up-and-comers can and do fail, but that never stops a school that is serious about basketball from making a needed change. And, if we are indeed serious about basketball, we will do what we have to do to keep a good coach.

For one thing, you can't get much worse than where the Basketball program is at right now. Brownell is a good MID-Level Coach...Mid-Level. When you get to the ACC this is big time basketball.
Right now we need some new energy injected into the basketball program. We need a quality coach.

What does it matter if it is an outlier? What is even less significant is what you "feel" is our "chance." That talk softens just how pitiful the last 7 years of Clemson basketball has been. You know what is an outlier? Making the NCAA tournament under Brownell. And he took over a team that had been to 3 straight!!!! Even if you want to argue that Purnell left it in bad shape he took over the Shyatt dumpster fire and got us there in year 5. We're on year 8 with a coach who struggles to get into the NIT and there is devoted faction on this board still trying shove this #### down everyone else's throats.

This is coming from a guy who has been a staunch Brownell
Mar 9, 2017, 12:50 PM

defender up until this year. I think Purnell left a much weaker program than it appeared on the surface, especially at PG after Stitt graduated, and I think he had a lot of bad breaks early on with transfers/KJ leaving. We can all agree the facilities were not up to par.
BUT this was the year when he didn't have any more excuses. We were back in a newly-renovated LJ. We had our best player back and a really solid nucleus of transfers starting.
I genuinely think he is a good coach and I think we had a lot of bad bounces this season. But you don't lose that many close games based on bad luck. For whatever reason this team didn't have the chemistry or the fortitude to weather those close games, obviously our defense really suffered when we brought in a bunch of better offensive players.
I think you give Gregg Marshall a call. When he tells you #### no ('cause he ain't comin' to Clemson but it never hurts to ask), you give Will Wade a call, then maybe someone like Earl Grant. We're never going to get a big lateral hire like UK did with Calipari or any of the bball blue bloods but don't have to. I think the fanbase would be perfectly fine with a coach that goes to the NCAA tourney every year and makes a run at a Final Four once in a while.
We need someone who can recruit. I think the way college bball is right now, getting a couple of really great recruits is more important to a team than having a great Xs and Os guy on the sideline.

And you're correct, Gregg Marshall ain't happenin.

The good old "who we going to get?" argument
Mar 9, 2017, 12:50 PM

absolutely the lamest reason ever for keeping a coach. An A.D. worth the price of admission can find a capable basketball coach for Clemson University. Clemson can do better than being in the bottom half of the league and playing in the NIT or worse every year

Let me ask you pro Brownell people a question. Zion Williamson is in our backyard. His father has Clemson ties and his son is one of the hottest players in the country. I would dearly love to get him at Clemson but he would be insane to come play for Brownell. That's why we need a change now.

That depends. Does Clemson really care about basketball?
Mar 9, 2017, 4:50 PM
|
|
Or is it just something we pay lip service to once in a while?
The facility upgrades are wonderful, and long overdue. But do these upgrades represent the start of a real, legitimate commitment to basketball success? If so, then great! We should also expect to see continued investments in our basketball program to give our coaches all of the resources they want and need to be successful. In that case, I would be excited to hire a new coach (at a higher salary than Brownell makes, of course) who is a proven winner at the high major level. It would signal that Clemson DOES care about basketball and that we aren't just a "football school."
On the other hand, if we aren't going to truly commit to basketball success at Clemson, we should stick with Brownell for another year or two. He runs a clean program, he recruits good student-athletes, and he graduates his players at a record rate. He represents our school well, and that counts for a lot. You keep him and hope that the continuity of his tenure, the relationships he has built, and the new facilities will allow us to turn the corner as a program. After all, he has built extremely competitive teams which play hard and put us in a position to win almost every game, despite usually being at a significant talent disadvantage.
In either scenario, we must accept that a large portion of our fan base is ignorant when it comes to basketball. They think that we pay Brownell a high salary for a basketball coach (even though we don't), that his buyout is really high (it isn't), and that the new facilities should result in an immediate improvement in talent and wins (they shouldn't). These fans are pretty ignorant with regard to basketball and have no idea what it takes to succeed. A new coach is not going to make us an overnight success, especially in the current environment, unless his last name is Krzyzewski or Pitino.

Good points and well laid out. I just wonder if there is a 3rd scenario - one where that "tops down" commitment is applied to the current situation. Obviously something is missing and I believe you nailed it. Money can't buy everything. Just like in any organization, real change only happens when leadership is on board - and not just with benign words but real tangible actions.

post is true. It is because:
a) Coach K or Pitino can recruit. b) Either of those guys can develop recruits once they get there.
Our guy seems to be rarely able to do a) or b, DEFINITELY not at the Center or shooting guard positions.
