FIRE BROWNELL!!!
You think that because one of his 8 teams won two games in the tournament that makes him a great coach. Because one of these teams may or may not be a top 16 program, we were all wrong?
He has had one good season where THE PROGRAM is MAYBE TOP 16 and he's the greatest thing ever???
He has a .479 winning percentage in conference play. Let's lock him in for 10 years!!!

It may have not been the "peak" as far as how far we went in the post season...but in regards to the state of the program when it comes to consistency and recruiting it was the peak. There was an excitement around the program never before seen proven by attendance and the fact that Little John was considered one of the toughest places to play in the country.
But for some reason you weren't too excited....wonder why....

What do you mean "which led to what"?
The guy left in the middle of the night because of off the court issues. The program was more consistent than ever and recruiting had picked up tremendously. You can't blame Purnell because Brownell didn't keep the last class intact and failed to develop Milt and Devin Booker's game. Those two would have flourished in Purnell's system.
I hold him in high regard because I believe a coach with his up tempo style is exactly what a football school in a basketball conference needs to attract athletes and consistently compete.

The question is pretty simple, what did all of OP's "great recruiting" lead to?
Did he win the conference? A tourney game? Really anything of importance?
In short, no.
As it has been pointed out, the program was in no way "more consistent than ever," as you continually state.
I can most certainly blame Purnell for leaving in the middle of the night, killing the last class he had as that's 100% his fault.
With regards to Milton and Devin, they actually did somewhat develop under Brownell. However, the point you're missing is if they were such "highly rated recruits," as alluded to in your statement that recruiting had picked up tremendously, then the question becomes why did they need major development? Seems to me that would signal a miss in recruiting.
Lastly, you don't hold him in high regard you hold his "style" in high regard, but it doesn't seem that way?

Purnell inherited a dumpster fire. His recruiting started improving significantly toward the end of his tenure after he put our program on the map.
For you to say our program wasn't consistent and ignore 20+ wins four years in a row, 3 straight tourney appearances his last three seasons, 3 straight winning seasons in the ACC means you're either blatantly stupid or a racist POS....no other explanation.

It's not hard to recruit better than a "dumpster fire" so big surprise there.
How do you not understand that "consistency" isn't defined in a "regular season vacuum."
Were we consistent in the regular season? Yes.
Were we consistent in ACC and NCAA tourney play? Yes, we consistently lost in the first round.
Just because I don't believe that OP was the great Messiah of Clemson basketball that you do doesn't make me racist at all, but you consistently bringing that up certainly does make you a race baiting b!tch.

We didn't consistently lose in the first round of the ACC tournament. Purnell played for a ACC championship and lost by 5 to the eventual national champion....
If it's not the color of the man's skin what reason do you have to continually bash him and lie about his tenure here?
I don't want to call you a racist, I'm just out of options.

He lost in the first round 5 out of 7 tries, if that isn't consistency I'm not sure what is. Tack on the NCAA Tourney and that's 8 first round exits in 10 tournaments. Throw in the NIT and that makes for 9 out of 13 first round exits.
That's #### consistent if you ask me.
I don't bash him, I deal in the facts. He was great for Clemson at the time, and was wonderful for our regular seasons. He did have Littlejohn packed, but that's true of any point in our basketball history when we went on our winning streaks, not a rare occurrence attributed only to Purnell.
The issue here is how you've placed him on a pedestal of being the best thing to ever walk the campus for Clemson basketball, which simply, is not true.
He could be white, black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. and I would say the exact same things. That shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp, and certainly gives no reason to bring in any mention of race (unless you're trying to work that angle).

You are minimizing what Brownell inherited.
Mar 20, 2018, 7:58 PM
|

To you, and others who are also simpletons about this topic, all you see is a three year run of NCAA Tournaments. You see a couple of solid recruiting classes. What you don't see is:
-A final recruiting class with ONE player committed (Marcus Thornton), and a shaky talent base for 2011-2012 and beyond.
-Poor team chemistry, with several players threatening to transfer if Purnell returned for 2010-2011.
-Subpar team GPAs and graduation rates
-Little alumni/donor base for basketball
Brownell did not merely inherit "a consistent NCAA Tournament program" as you and others like to suggest. When you look a little deeper, you will see that Brownell inherited significant issues which were not fixable overnight.
Yes, Purnell did some wonderful things for our program on the heels of the Shyatt era. He improved the program significantly, which is what he does. He got us to the NCAAs, which was notable, but he showed that he could not win any games there. This seems to be the ceiling for Purnell-coached teams.
He knew that recruiting had dropped off, and he was not going to be able to continue that NCAA Tournament run after 2010-2011 at best. That had to play a role in his departure, along with other issues.

And LOL at this statement:
"as alluded to in your statement that recruiting had picked up tremendously, then the question becomes why did they need major development? Seems to me that would signal a miss in recruiting."
First of all I never said they needed "major" development, and second are you saying every high rated high school athlete that doesn't come in and contribute immediately is a "miss"?
Wow.

Lol at something based off of things you've stated? I guess it's good to laugh at yourself sometimes. You've stated that the recruiting was "at an all time high" and even lauded the class rankings per 247sports.
Certainly that doesn't mean that players do not need development, but I would venture to guess that you would agree there is a correlation between recruiting rankings and time/amount of development needed, no?
I mean lets look at KJ, he was not highly rated and developed TREMENDOUSLY under Brownell. Yet, these 4 star guys and 5 star (Jennings) needed a lot of development, of which you claim Brownell couldn't do? That's ignorance at it's finest.
Wow.

I didn't claim Brownell could or couldn't do anything....but it's pretty stupid when people call Milt and Devin "busts" and blame OP for it when he didn't even coach them.
And KJ was a freak. He would have developed under anybody.

So OP can't be blamed that they didn't meet their recruiting ranking expectations but you can laud OP's recruiting and include them in that? Seems kind of backwards.
KJ was a freak athlete, he developed into a solid basketball player. The thing is, Brownell developed him so he does get credit. Saying he would have developed under anybody is a mere hypothetical.

Wow, that's a slap in the face to KJ.
Whether Milt or Devin were overrated or not is irrelevant....the point is players of their caliber were looking at Clemson basketball and it's because of the program Purnell built.
Brownell did not continue the success....he wallowed in mediocrity and has finally put a solid team together. He deserves credit for this season, but still has to prove he can do it consistently.

How, in the hell, is that a slap in the face to KJ? He was not highly rated, but worked and learned (under Brownell) and was ultimately drafted. It's more of a kudos than a slap, but strange you interpreted it that way.
How can you talk about "players of their caliber" and then turn around and state that whether they were overrated or not is irrelevant? You're contradicting yourself, and it of course is relevant because a part of coaching is talent evaluation.
Brownell did not continue the success because he had to fix the issues with the program, namely, we didn't have a lot of talent left from Purnell, or they all left when they actually had to play basketball and not a gimmick scheme.
He certainly has to prove he can do it consistently, no one is arguing that so I'm not sure why it's been included.

Are you really too dumb to understand the concept of a program attracting highly rated players? The fact that a five star all American chose to come to Clemson speaks highly of the program Purnell built.
We are not attacking five star all Americans now....

You seem to be too caught up in recruiting rankings.
Mar 20, 2018, 8:13 PM

The highly rated class you keep referring to included 5-star Milton Jennings and 4-star Noel Johnson. That was a great class on paper, based on recruiting rankings. However, anyone with any knowledge of basketball realized after just a handful of games that neither player was nearly as good as billed.
Jennings didn't become the superstar many thought he would, and Johnson failed to flourish at Clemson or at Auburn. It doesn't really matter when you have great recruiting classes that don't pan out. Think Willy Korn, Mike Bellamy, and Kelvin Grant but in a basketball uniform.

A team that is far and away superior to ANY team Oliver Purnell ever coached, at Clemson or anywhere else! A team that is one of the best Clemson has ever had.
It's sad that your devotion to Purnell, for whatever reason, prevents you from giving proper credit to Brownell, his coaches, and these players for an outstanding season.

Good lord you are a joke.
Also, Booker did get better each year under Brownell but dont let that get in your way...
I have said to you numerous times I appreciate what OP did when he was here but I have also stated the facts that he plateaued at Clemson and left like a coward. Take that race card bull #### elsewhere.
His last great recruiting class that you love to bring up was full of over rated busts... You really going to try and argue that Milton Jennings was a 5 star player?

"plateaued"
Lol. A better assessment would be he built a program from dirt to consistency....three straight winning seasons in the ACC....never before been done and hasn't since. Three straight trips to the NCAA tourney....never before been done and hasn't since....
Yet above in this thread you and ####### are bragging about a .478 winning percentage in the ACC for Brownell. Like I said, you're either blatantly stupid or there is some other factor at play here.

Sorry my facts trigger you so much. You act very much like a sad little liberal though. When you are getting your ### handed to you in a debate you automatically go to the race card and try to accuse others of things they didnt say.
His record was the very definition of plateaued sorry that hurts your feelings but it is true.

But you ignore the fact that he inherited a program that was consistently above .500 in the ACC.
You call it plateaued because you're a hater, most people can clearly see that we quickly went from #### to top half of the ACC and stayed there. The fact that recruiting improved drastically the last couple years only means we would have continued to improve.
That doesn't have anything to do with right now and I wouldn't bring it up if I didn't see all this delusion.

beyond making the NCAA Tournament and winning ZERO games there. In fact, there is more evidence to suggest that we wouldn't have kept our yearly NCAA appearances going, based on the talent level Purnell left behind.
Purnell never won an NCAA Tournament game anywhere. Why on earth do you believe that he would've changed that if he had stayed at Clemson?

unbalanced schedule.
The man & this team are having a fantastic year, but he had one foot in the grave coming into 2017-2018 for #### good reasons.
He had no credit, no money left in the bank, absolutely no ground left to stand on after the embarrassing loss to Oakland at home to end another disappointing campaign, something his teams had become known for in his tenure, that or just flat out quitting.
This is how a 3rd Party views Clemson basketball since '97-98[as far as the list goes back] and before someone says they don't like RPI, take it up with the post-season committees that do? It's important and very telling as to why Coach Brownell was packing for another job before this year, no matter how many times you pound that ridiculous ACC drum, because he feasted on the dregs of the league.

If you're a Tiger fan, I'm not sure how you can't laud the man, his staff & team for the tremendous year they're having. The players aren't stupid, they knew it was do or die this year and to their credit, they came together in kicking off the season, then again & perhaps even more so after DG went down.
Kudos to them all, but please stop massaging his tenure up to this year, there's reason, real reason DRad raped his buy-out and gave him 1 year to hopefully land Zion and/or one last go round before the door.

Well it is the best we've done in 20 years, tied for the most wins ever in a single season, and his ACC winning percentage is a full .100 higher than our historical average.
Not saying lock him down for 10 years, but anyone that wants to fire him right now is a moron.

Give him a raise. Give him an extension with 5 years as total. Medium to low buyout! Make the contract laced with incentives.

"He has a .479 winning percentage in conference play."
That is a school record....
Criticize away for not making the NCAA T 7 years in a row but at least know the facts. The main reason we have missed the NCAA T the last few years was due to bad losses OOC.

I am of the crowd that likes brownell. I think he's had some key losses not go his way which has hurt his coaching career. BUT, up until this last year clemson had some of the worst bball facilities in the ACC. Brownell had very little to work with from a recruiting standpoint. I will give him a few years to see what he can do given the upgrades.
If you don't think Brownell is a good coach you don't know a ton about the game. His defensive philosophy is excellent and with offensive talent he can produce. If he doesn't get results consistently with the upgraded facilities I will be fine to let him go. Just don't jump the gun yet to fire him.

Probably the hottest coach around this week.
If he stays hot, we'll have to replace him in 5 years.
If he's a flash in the pan, we'll have to replace him in 5 years.
Brad might make another 5 years with maybe 2 more tourney wins. Might.
I don't see how we lose. Other than whatever buyout we owe BB.

My impression is that BB is good with the x's and o's but not a particularly good recruiter. On the other hand, Dabo is a remarkable recruiter and perhaps not a great blackboard guy. Am I wrong?

and has landed one big fish in recruiting in almost a decade. He's had one team get hot at the right time for one year. If he coaches here 10 years and wins 2 tourney games (I don't count the play in game as a tourney win), you'll consider him a success? I won't.

Making the sweet 16 twice each decade. Fact is none of those other coaches were given the resources Brad was. It would have been nice if he could have built upon what OP started, a tradition of making the tournament and fielding fun teams to watch that were competitive. Oh well, I guess we'll settle for a bunch of stats that compare him to a different time, when the ACC had zero gimme games and we had poor facilities and no home court advantage. Yes, he does well when being compared to those years. I guess one good year in 10 is worth giving him a lifetime contract.

No offense but that is bull ####.
We have had some of the worst facilities in the ACC for most of his tenure. When he got the job we were being passed from the Little John bandaid of 2003.

Trying to compare NCAA victories across different tournament eras is apple and oranges. Foster’s run to the elite 8 in a 48 team field is probably more impressive than anything anyone else has done. To equate those victories with the 2011 play-in game versus UAB (something that had not previously existed) is ridiculous.

need to wait and see if this NCAA Tournament run translates into a good offseason in terms of recruiting, and if we continue to play good basketball next year. Brownell has managed one really good team in his entire tenure. Can he keep it up? Consistency is important. One good season shouldn't secure a long-term contract.

haters we have. I did not notice any serious “Fire Monte” posts after this past weekend. I don’t know what kind of recruiter Brad is, and I acknowledge that Dabo is a great one but let’s put a few things in prospective.
Compare our football facilities to our basketball ones. Check out how many sold out games our football team has to our basketball ones. Remember that our basketball team had to play it’s home games in Greenville for a year, and they had to sometimes practice off campus.
Brad is one of the best coaches in the ACC. I recall after Brad’s first game at Duke Coach K mentioned in his press conference how impressed he was with what we did with what we Brad had.
Dan R. knows what he is doing. He is a professional Athletic Director. Would you rather us have Ray Tanner? Just because you were a good head coach does not necessarily mean you would be a good AD.. You have to take little steps before you can take long strides.
My biggest fear (and I am sure a lot of posters would hope happen) is some major school AD might come looking for Brad. And, if he left us, I would not blame him! Should that happen, I ask all you experts, “who would we hire?”
Give the guy a break!!!

I was a student in the late 60s - early 70s when the only time football sold out for the SCAR game every other year.
For most games, the north stands were empty from the EZ all the way out to the 25-30 yard line.
All students got tickets in prime seats in the South stands.
People who believe football has *always* sold out just aren't old enough to know better.

Our basketball culture (and yes, that includes you, the fan) has been absolutely dismal throughout my lifetime.
Our administration finally made a commitment, and seems the fans are increasingly holding up their end (as we win more, of course).
The irony is you probably didn't go to single basketball game this year.
Culture matters.
