Curious post about Brad

Not negative. But since it’s the elephant in the room about how he decides to finish this season, or it’s basically his job IMO, I want to know why exactly he has never been able to get anything done.
Is it his play calling, composure in last minute situations, player/staff relationships?
There’s been very good teams with really talented players, but we’ve only had one real run since Purnell.

Works both ways in developing and team chemistry. Saying, teams are traditionally better as the season develops. Especially teams like dook, uncheat, uva etc that tend to have freshman playing. Just my take.

…but not us? Why doesn’t Clemson get better as the season goes, too?

tooth and nail, because a former Tiger great, Coach Barnes recommend him to TDP.
There is no chance in all of hades that Brad won the job laying out his five-year plan that followed, when he took over a well-branded, NC2A team, then did everything he could only to drive it into the dirt.
It's egregious that he's still here.

You and me both, I even stuck with him taking the T-Net abuse for 10 year after he was hired believing he would turn it around. I'm over him, even if he accidently makes it to the big dance, other than winning the NC, I still hope he's gone shortly after his 1 or 2 and done!!!!

Possibly as inaccurate a statement as could be fabricated:
well-branded, NC2A team, then did everything he could only to drive it into the dirt.
Let's break it down..
Well branded?
Really? As what?
- Purnell won ZERO NCAA games.
- He won early via cupcake preseason then pretty much played slightly above .500 in ACC
- Rarely developed any players
- Relied on gimmick strategy in games of fullcourt pressure and lived or died by that sword
NC2A team.
Sure he got to the tournament
But won ZERO games
Drive it into the dirt?
How?
Sweet 16 run. Never had a leading scorers return the year after leading the team.
I am done. Clemson's basketball fans are way way different than fans of Clemson football who occasionally pay attention to Clemson basketball.

So taking the focus away from when Clemson has been good in the past (which is irrelevant anyways it’s the past), you don’t believe Clemson should have done more in the last 10 years?
Clemson is well branded as a whole, it’s why succeed in all sports often more than not. Recruiting and one of the best fan bases.
With that said, Clemson basketball should have been better, with 1 Sweet 16 appearance and countless close losses.
