Rad Dan goes cheapo for a coach from a very average program in a very weak conference...how' this going to turn out? Call Cristy & Itoro for insight...

Break even record and no NCAA bids. The curse of Jim Davis

will haunt us like the curse Of Danny Ford. If you do wrong to good people, it bites you in the behind. This is the third bite since Jim's "departure".....IMHO

The only thing I care about is how much are we paying her.
Cheap is my only criteria for Womens Basketball.

no excuses. Win 20 plus, go to a tourney, or get out.
not that anyone will ever really notice. it's women's roundball at a football school.

I'm sorry but....

this hire was clearly based on factors other than qualifications although, in fairness, she is an improvement over the coach she is replacing.
I will go on the record right now and state my adamant disapproval and further predict that in four years, we will be looking to hire a fourth women's basketball coach in the last twelve years.

It could be that no better qualified coaches wanted the job.

I doubt that very much. I think it was most likely based on the factor that nobody wants to coach at Clemson, and the athletic department is not willing to pay a disproportionately large salary to lure big names here.
I hope it works. I think we should give Audra Smith the benefit of the doubt until we have results one way or the other.

A medicore team in a medicore conference. How do you think she is likely to fare in an improved ACC?

The qualified coaches weren't given an interview or the time of day. DRad got exactly what he wanted. The AD was a bad hire and we will see the results the longer he is here.

she probably could not out-coach us all in a womens basketball game and therein lies the problem.

I do think this is yet another incredibly poor hire by an administration that once again demonstrates the very low level of priority it places on womens basketball.

Good luck to Audra. I am very disappointed that the criteria used to find a coach, eliminated 3/4 of the possible candidates. I would have hoped for more from DRad on his first hire.
