You'd better hope we can at least find a "program maintainer" ...
Because the alternative is not going to be fun for you.

I do not think he built the program. He just got it back to where it was before Shyatt.

ACC consecutively. Never had four 20-win seasons in a row, never had 3 NCAA Tourney appearances. He built our program to better than it has ever been.
What's sad is either he left for the money or because of all the idiots on this board...or both.

Yes he hears about this stuff. It kind of stinks to be paying a man so little who has done so much. I'm afraid of another Larry Shyatt "regime" myself. The fact that Clemson fans were negative about OP just because he has done more for this program than anybody else almost makes it a shame to be called a Clemson fan. Face the FACT that nobody has ever really done much for bball at our school and we aren't the play in team anymore is unheard of. Get a life some of you "fans." If you know so much, apply for the job.

Yea I agree. We need someone with similar recruiting skills but more discipline for players on and off the court. Sloppy basketball was the name of the game this year, relying on pure athleticism can't be a substitute for strong fundamental basketball, especially if we want to compete day in and day out with the big boys. He was a good man for the job, now we need someone to take us to the next level.
Go Tigers

Do you really think he did not want to be hear. When had our adminstration say great job OP for the season, great job on making us a contender, great job for running a clean program, great job for graduating our players, great job on getting folks outside of the south to know our brand of BB. Nothing can be found that gave support to OP outside of the media and we look at the media as the devil. Come on now!!!!!!!!!!!
First we need to get sports directors that give a crap about keeping good coaches here in Clemson. I see a great deal of pretenders claiming to be Clemson fans. If you support Clemson then you support the coahes period..........

I agree with your street ball assessment. OP's teams have never been disciplined or fundamentally sound. This was a huge reason why we lost to teams with less talent but played smart, fundamental D. OP improved the status of our program but I couldnt see him taking us any further.
Thanks OP, I do wish you well.

I'm sad to see OP go. I just hope we're smart enough to go out and get a real coach rather than just making the easy hire and expect them to pick up where OP left off.
