1) Mike Krzyzewski, Duke – $4,195,519
2) Mark Turgeon, Maryland – $1,900,000
3) Tony Bennett, Virginia – $1,700,000
4) Roy Williams, North Carolina – $1,655,000
5) Leonard Hamilton, Florida State – $1,503,500
6) Mark Gottfried, North Carolina State – $1,200,000
7) Jim Larranaga, Miami – $1,100,000
8) Brian Gregory, Georgia Tech – $1,000,000
9) Steve Donahue, Boston College – nearly $1 million, according to the Boston Globe
10) Brad Brownell, Clemson – $923,300
11) James Johnson, Virginia Tech – $680,000
Could not find Wake Forrest Coach's salary

Newest members of the ACC next year

Pittsburgh - James Dixon - $1,250,000
Syracuse - Jim Boeheim - $1,520,000
Notre Dame - Mike Brey - $1,230,000



This doesn't factor in out terrible facilities either... but we should be in the top .500 in the ACC? or make the tournament every year????


I'm lost on how Brownell is a bad coach. He does a great job given the situation. Replacing Brownell with another mid major guy won't fix anything.

he won with for a couple of seasons until no one to come play for him. He left nothing. His lack of quality recruits has left Brownell behind the curve. AP certainly hasn't lit the world on fire at his new gig. Hasn't won more than 12 games in his first 3 years @ DePaul. He couldn't win in the Dean Dome.

Shreded most of the time to 3 straight NCAA appearances. If you are going by attendance, it was much better with OP than it is now. We also played in games where both teams were top 25. Brownell has yet to have his team ranked.

I agree...Clemson fans care about the basketball program but the university doesnt. Clemson tries to hire a gem of a coach for cheap to try and get a bargain but when its all said and done with the facilities and amount of money they offer a basketball coach then we would be lucky to win in basketball and be a tournament team every year

Brownell isn't the problem...................


Dec 29, 2013, 6:03 PM

There is more than enough blame to go around for the lack of success of the Clemson basketball program.......... Fans, Athletic Department, and administration........

The last time we upgraded Little John we had an AD with no vision who waste 38M dollars......... He was cheap and our entire athletic facilities fell apart under him.........


I know most of you on this board don't like OP and you think he left because of a girlfriend....... I can tell you that had nothing to do with him leaving............ He got tired of having to fight with the athletic department to get things that were in his contract.................... That is not how you keep a coach............


OP won more games his last three years in the ACC than any program than Duke or Carolina......... He took us to the ACC finals for only the second time in school history....... He beat South Carolina like a drum......... He got the top basketball players in South Carolina there aren't many but he got them.......... He got us three straight NCAA bids........... Yes he never won one............. How dare him we have won sooooooo many...................... Not sure why we didn't support him......... But the basketball program was in better shape than anytime in school history........ If we would have supported him he would have never left he wanted to coach in the ACC.............

This time hopefully we will do the rebuild of Little John right ............... Not spend most of the money on a new roof.............. The next time we have a winning coach I hope we support him that includes fans, athletic department.............Or we will be reading how he left because of a girlfriend just like the last two winning coaches.......... What a joke.......Like they don't have girls in Texas or Chicago.......... Also please don't say we supported Barns or OP .......... I went to plenty of games under both with less than a 1000 fans in Little John..... And there is not excuse for having less than a 1000 fans at a game.............

Re: Read this inbred Brownell haters...


Dec 29, 2013, 6:04 PM

"Terrible facilities"? Even if that were true, that argument doesn't hold any validity. Cameron indoor Stadium was created in 1935 and underwent its first major renovation in 1987. Cameron had it's second major renovation in 2009. Coach K won three national championships between the time he took over in 1980 and when Cameron became a semi modern indoor basketball facility in 2009. It was the worst facility in the ACC by far and yet coach K won THREE national championships. Great players come to play for great coaches. They don't necessarily come to play in shiny new stadiums that offer marginal incremental benefit for the fans. Cameron still only holds 9314 fans.

took them to the final four with Gene Banks and a host of great players........ Duke won and won a lot before coach K they also supported the program .......... If Clemson would pack Little John for all it's games like Duke does and did even during down years it wouldn't matter what Little John looked like but we don't........... So we need something extra...... And the hope is that the fans will come out also.............

Dec 29, 2013, 6:49 PM [ in reply to Re: Read this inbred Brownell haters... ]

one thing you don't understand the Duke name recruits all on its own. Cameron is kinda of a dump, but the fans would riot if they wanted to change it. That dump, to Duke fans, is more sacred to them than any church they would ever walk in. We don;t get to see the player facilities, but you can take a look here:

http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=218245

Any coach that is at Clemson has a disadvantage from the get-go. There is nothing in Clemson that would appeal to the black athlete. Now before you start saying we get black football players....they join a team that has more blacks than whites and there are 85 players to "family" with. Not so, with basketball. Facilities hurt a bunch.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Really has nothing to do with "black athletes"


Dec 29, 2013, 6:53 PM

It has to do with the name on the jersey. When kids see Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky or Indiana doors immediately open. When kids see Clemson they might crack the door, but the chain stays on.

2. Brad Brownell is worth no more than his pay, what is your point?

3. You are just another fan making "facilities" excuse for an average coach. Ask The Coots how that huge facility is working for them.

4. Enjoy the cellar, that's all Brownlee is going to do for you!

Re: Response to your post:


Dec 31, 2013, 7:20 AM [ in reply to Response to your post: ]

So you're Brad Brownell.

You're hired late due to OP's sudden departure, so you have no chance at any decent recruits for your first season. You're left with headcase Milton Jennings and underachieving Booker as starters from OP. You have a couple of OP recruits who clearly are not talented enough to play for you and eventually transfer. One of your first good recruits suffers a devastating injury in HS and is not available. Another guy tears up an Achilles and is out for the year. Despite all this, the team plays competitive basketball in the ACC, though there's a long way to go. He's just landed two excellent recruits that are upgrades over current talent. And now here come additional top 25 teams to compete in the ACC (Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, and ND). I think expectations that any coach would be near the top of the ACC under these circumstances are unrealistic. Should we expect to be better going forward? Absolutely. But in context it is a process that is moving forward and changing a coach because we're not beating Duke and UNC now is a knee jerk reaction and will hurt us for the next 5 years. Stay the course.
