FYI - The position of head BB coach at Clemson is a paid

position. JL & staff weren't volunteering their time. They got paid and were given the privilege of coaching at our great University. JL had a contract that was honored and he was given ample time to bring CU back to where we were accustomed to being. Most on Tigernet would have loved for JL to have been the coach to get us back to where we belong. Based on the last 5 years it didn't appear that we were headed in that direction.
For those who think it was handled wrong, please tell us what you would have done differently.
I'm not a Jack basher and until this year clung to the belief that JL was going to get it done. I wish Jack & staff good luck and thank them for their service to Clemson!

Invested in facilities in a manner that would have portrayed us as remotely competitive with SCar and given him a budget that would have allowed him retain or hire his first choice of assistants. Everything the about our present situation is an administrative failure exasperated by a fanbase that doesn't now how to look past the headcoach for problem solving.

Some facilities already upgraded

I would have given him one more year with the new facilities and the incoming class. An extension could have been written that would have given DRad an out if JL didn't prove that he could do better with some of the things he fought for. And seeing an extension to retirement age would have helped on recruiting. If next year was just as bad, cut the strings. Maybe you write into the contract specific numbers like wins or getting to the super regional. As it is all dice are being rolled based on all new coaches. Not only next season but recruiting too.

Re: Sounds like what DRad has been doing over the past 2 yrs***

Oh you mean the facility that opens next year and the use of the academic common market beginning next year. Yes, Jack was definitely given opportunity to take advantage of those things. I see your point.

The only thing I would've possibly done differently

would have been to pull the band-aid off last year. I think DRad handled it correctly, probably, by trying to give one more year. But I don't understand how this was, at all, handled poorly. We're not privy to any information that occurred behind the scenes, but I'm willing to bet it was professional.
Huge baseball fans are a different breed, and not necessarily in a bad way. Just unusually strong emotions. A recent poll on a different Clemson website had 98% in favor of letting Jack go. It was the correct decision. Just gotta get the right guy hired.

should have kept all the negative stuff out of the press. He did not need to give them every detail last year. Then he leads most to think that Jack gets an extension this year last Tuesday. Can you blame any of Jacks assistants who are now head coaches putting a themselves at a distance from this job.

What?

How did he lead most to think JL was getting an extension? Cause TCI and JL said so? Noone in their right mind (or paying attention) could have thought Leggett was getting another year.

Seems like players thought so too

I can't find them right now but some of the interviews with the more senior players like maybe Duggar or Kreiger made me think they also thought JL was told one thing Tuesday and another Thursday. I don't remember exactly who.

It's highly possible that Jack told his players Tuesday that
Jun 10, 2015, 4:17 PM

everything is going to be OK or something along those lines.
I doubt Jack would be telling people he's getting fired in a few days. He's probably a positive thinker like most coaches and continued about his business.

Hard time seeing JL saying "great" knowing in days
Jun 10, 2015, 4:48 PM
|

it will not be true. You might be right but I can't believe that if Jack thought he would be fired he would tell anyone the opposite just to delay the truth for a few days.
