Interesting Parallel in Basketball

Both Brownell and Umo in 3rd year as head Bball coaches at Clemson.
Both finished 5-13 in conference play and suffered embarrassing losses along the way.
Both had depleted rosters and injuries galore.
Brownell took over a program experiencing unprecedented success and Umo took over a program in shambles.
Umo gets fired. I would say Mr. Brownell is on a short leash.

Coach Coleman's team was showing signs of improvement. I think both deserve longer to be honest. 3 years in basketball is nothing. A coach should have 4 or 5 years to show their progress.
Three is a joke.

although it was a different circumstance - I bet Indiana is glad they didn't ditch Tom Crean after 3 years of misery.

Our new AD may have an itchy trigger finger. I think Brownell should get another year, and if improvement is shown 2-3 more.

In which case, one should pull the trigger sooner to get the next phase underway.

and three year stuff is costing us a plenty. Improving is what you are being paid to do, anything else is a bonus. If they don't like it, let them hit the road.

The difference

"unprecedented success" is a stretch
Brownell proved in his first year he's capable of getting results. He won a NCAA tournament game with less than Purnell did with his 3 attempts.
Brownell's current problems are a result of the coaching transition.

Blossomgame
Sullivan
Coleman
Three guys that will probably make or break the team next year. Sullivan was a four star (i think) and Blossomgame was hyped pretty hard before the injury. Coleman was a solid player from what i recall.

Coleman's team was in a much greater state of disarray

Heck, they only had 7 players on scholarship. At least Brownell's team isn't just giving up.
