Well now that’s not so far fetched. Maybe not now but he may want to come home in a couple years. Good thought

How much does his asst. coach gig pay in the NBA? Heard he is a well thought of coach. He is still young , 42 and would bring some excitement and NBA pedigree back to the program. He could hold onto Boogie as a assistant too.

so how are his recruiting numbers? ties to the AAU leagues?

relationships to high school coaches? ability to fund raise and motivate boosters?
Im telling you, either go get a sure-thing (tom crean, bruce pearl, buzz williams, rick barnes type hire) or just stay with Brad and be mid tier. Why go hire another guy who has no experience as a college coach and possibly pull a Danny Manning and be gawd-awful? The only guy i would consider who is still just a mid level guy is Johnny Dawkins at UCF. I believe he could recruit, bring energy to the ACC, and get us respectable. Whether he would come here is another thing. And if he did well here and Coach K retires he'd probably get the Duke gig.

“Why go hire another guy who has no experience as a college coach?” Which coach in the last 50 years at Clemson has no college coaching experience prior to becoming Clemson’s coach?
Also, is Coach Brownell personally motivating many boosters and raising tons of cash at this point?
Finally, if the choice is to remain mediocre or to take a chance on greatness, even if it might fail, I choose to roll the dice.

um....greg buckner...no college coaching experience......

....that i know of. Let me rephrase so that we can understand the point of the post "Why go hire another "potential guy" and this one with no college experience?" There you go.
So you're interested in hiring more question marks instead of hiring solid candidates. WE always have hired question marks here. And the question mark guys usually average right about where BB is at the moment. Mid pack.
Brownell's teams since he's been here have averaged right at this mark. WE been better that mid pack in seasons and we've below mid pack in seasons. So we are probably where we should be comparatively speaking.
Again, i'm not against getting another coach. But why not try something different this time around. Go with "knowledge" and find a candidate that checks more boxes than "potentially could be a good coach." Because that's been done already over and over. Why not follow the lead of UGA, TENN, VT, AUB who had balls and who have historically been "football schools" and went and hired actual proven winners? If those schools can do it then Clemson can do it. They did the same crap we used to do but not this time and all those schools are on the rise.
If we go hire some "i hope he pans out" guy...then lets not waste the time and energy b/c we will be right back here in 5 years making the same posts. I love Greg Buckner, i do. But he in now way has more credentials, results, and potential success than Brad Brownell.. so just stop.

This is actually the best solution I’ve heard. Definitely would fit into our budget. Like it was said- checks all the boxes for me.

Fred Hoiberg definitely worked at Iowa St, Mullen got St. Johns to the tourney this year, Ewing has Georgetown moving in the right direction, Avery Johnson recruited very well at Bama. It's really about the individual and who he surrounds himself with

Sydney Lowe didn’t have the charisma that Greg has. He’s been teaching. Was great on tv and they wanted him to stay on tv. He’s well connected and I really think he could identify with the recruits. Make no mistake, he’s a tough cookie. I’d hope DRad would at least consider it.
We don’t need a big time coach, just one that can win. One thing for sure, he is a Tiger.

He checks all the boxes for me as well. I also like Musselman at Nevada. Charismatic, NBA ties, wife is from Ga, always seems to have long athletes similar to FSU.
