Interesting. And completely contradicts


Mar 22, 2017, 10:37 PM

what the "suits" were telling Hood over the weekend. Sometimes I think there's some plausible deniability involved. I believe DRad when he speaks for the AD that they didn't contact Wade or his reps. That doesn't mean a third party didn't feel him out.

Water under the bridge now. Let's see how next year plays out

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hood did say none of that was confirmed. Now it truly sounds


Mar 22, 2017, 10:54 PM

like Brownell was coming back all along and that Wade (nor anyone else) was seriously considered. That just blows my mind, and think it's a horrible, inexplicable blunder. I don't understand why we would basically build a new arena and add up-to-date facilities, only to keep a coach who has completely failed to produce over a very reasonable time frame. However, it's done, and I truly hope I'm wrong about all of this. I actually like Brad Brownell a lot, and if he can succeed here at Clemson next year, I'll be thrilled.

Baseball is in full swing and looking good. Another National Championship on the wall and Spring game around the corner. Still great to be a Tiger fan!

I'm really interested to see what changes


Mar 22, 2017, 10:57 PM

will be made. If Brad is willing to make some substantial adjustments to the program, who knows. If any staffing changes are to occur it would probably be after the Final 4. That's interview central

And Brad will be at the Final Four, so that's a good sign.***

We know Brad is capable of assembling a good staff.


Mar 22, 2017, 11:07 PM

There is a reason why several of his assistant coaches were hired away as head coaches. I don't think these most recent hires were as great. Here's to a dynamic addition this time (I love your Greg Buckner suggestion).

guy loves Clemson. The lack of recruiting experience is a minus but it sure isn't hurting Avery Johnson at Bama as he's bringing in a big time class

Greg Buckner has many things going on his favor to be successful at Clemson.

success is doing the best you can with the players that you get. CU's roster isn't super talented but they were competing with better teams.

What a ridiculous statement from Radakovich.

Agreed. A heavy dose of B.S.

Well it's 100% true. Before this year, CBB had only made

the post season twice at Clemson. Once to the NCAA and once to the NIT. Therefore, because he got his team to the post season, this year was really an anomaly.

Thanks for posting. I don't think we ever considered firing Brad.


Mar 22, 2017, 10:56 PM

Despite all of the rumors that a buyout was agreed to, we were negotiating with Will Wade, etc.

Mar 22, 2017, 11:13 PM

My take ; 1. Brad is a good basketball teacher
2.win a few more of the close ones next year and we'll be ok ( as we did I the previous 6 seasons )
We have a teacher who maintains a level head
4 .In other words mediocrity is best for basketball .

So if you believ this and we have no reason not to, it is likely that Wade's agent was using Clemson as leverage to get a higher salary from LSU.

Here's hoping the Bayou Tigers just overpaid for an average coach and Brad turns the corner and makes Clemson basketball what we all want it to be.

This guy really has his head stuck up his own a$$....


Mar 23, 2017, 11:12 AM

He unnecessarily negotiated a contract with CBB that was unfavorable to Clemson and we're stuck with it.

Now he's just trying to cover his a$$.

Wow...just wow !!!





2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


He may be planning to leave before a change is made.


Mar 23, 2017, 1:00 PM

He doesn't stay too long wherever he works. His longest tenure is at The University of South Carolina.

What could his motivation have been for that ridiculous buyout? Just to take the job of finding and hiring a replacement off the table for 6 years? It's not clear from his words, but that seems the most likely scenario.
