Why did our admin not support OP? It must have been something behind the scene for both parties to not even talk. Clemson BB is going in the dumps fast and the recruits are not thinking of heading this way ACC badge or not. Rough times ahead.

He absolutely was supported. The way he treated his players

when he abruptly resigned and headed to Chicago speaks to his character. Personally, I am glad he is gone.

I beg to differ on the support of the Admin. I do agree that the way he left without confronting the players was wrong. The Admin though did not respect him on giving him the support he needed to continue to grow the program.
The crop of talent that is now being assembled don't have that edge to play in the ACC. The style of play is way to soft. I hate to see how things turn out this year in ACC play although I wish the team the best. The top recruits will not be coming this way after this year thats for sure.

BS, Purnell was a class act. You do not know the details, nor anything about his character. His players never got in trouble and worked their butts off for him. The results showed immediately.

Thank you! I was beginning to wonder if anyone else remembered what OP brought to Clemson.

We sucked his first few years. I respect what he was able to accomplish at Clemson and I disagree with those that think he was bad for the program. However, BB is a much better coach and will take us further than OP. This year and next year will be difficult ones--just as OP's teams were their first years--but once BB gets his players and his system in place the ceiling will ultimately be higher for the program. OP hit his ceiling, as he is a program builder and that's about as far as he can go, and knew it was best for him and the program to leave. I don't fault him for that decision, though I absolutely fault him for the manner in which he left. He is better than that.
I implore all Tiger fans to have patience with the basketball program as these next couple of years will be tough. I will say though, don't forget these years as they will make the sweetness of where we are going that much better. I'm looking forward to it.

Just because I don't have a reference to tiger in my user name does not make me a Coot! I am borm and raised in SC and have followed Clemson sports since the 1979. Maybe even before you were born. Get your facts in order before name calling.
The truth hurts and I hate to losing. Point blank bottom line. Tweet that!!!!!
