Brad Brownell for Tony Bennett?

You can argue either way via a logical, well-thought-out response or you can state your case based on a kneejerk reaction to tonight's game. Have your say.

Of course.

I don't mind highs and lows, if the highs include ACC and National Championships.

Just treading water forever staying just above 0.500, just enough to keep your job, gets you nowhere. Obviously.

Why would TB leave UVA. for Clemson? Would Dabo leave Clemson for UVA?

Tony Bennett was a better singer.

I saw a tweet which stated that Bennett relied on development of players who hung around for 4/5 years when he won his natty. With the portal and NIL, that is no longer possible but he has not adapted to the new landscape. The general thought is unless he adapts, UVA will not be a top tier program under his leadership. I have no idea if this is accurate but thought it an interesting perspective.

To answer your question, I would not see him leaving UVA for Clemson so not sure why the question is being asked.

It's a hypothetical

Which he also mentions how hard it is to get into UVA and their grad schools so the portal is harder to use there. I imagine he would do just fine here with the ability to use the portal more freely and less selectively.

Absolutely, in a heartbeat. Also trade for any coach , past time.

14 years. Nothing to show. Try someone else.

NCAAT teams lately... wrapped around the natty

That's 6 NCAAT appearances to Brad's 3 and 7 tournament wins to Brad's 2.

Most importantly that's a national title compared to . . . zero championships of any kind. He's won an infinite times more titles than Brad has.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Tony Bennett's lows are really close to Brad's highs

One's a great coach. The other just isn't. I fleshed this out after a poaster made a ridiculous thread after UVA lost to NC State in the tournament. Poaster said tnet would roast Bennett and implied that all the Brad criticism is unfair.

Here's the full text on what a great coach looks like compared to Brad: https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-forum/message/tony-bennett-is-a-great-coach.-brad-isnt.-34610004#34610004

Bennett has been rough lately and I can't stand watching their offense. So no. If you're offering a natty, sure. If you're offering me a gadget defense with no shooting, no.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, but I'd also trade him for larry shyatt at this point.***

No

He may be a better coach, but no. One of the biggest complaints after OP left and Brownell came in was that our style of ball was boring. A trade for Bennett would mean an even slower tempo. Alot of this is recruiting and what kind of player you can get.

Whenever a coaching change does happen, I hope we land a recruiter of athletes first and a great motivator that instills plenty of intensity.
Along the lines of a Kelvin Sampson or Bruce Pearl or a Dusty May

At UVA 14 yrs

10 NCAAT bids
2 ACC titles
1 Natty
And most don't want him. I guess that's good. We want even better.

I want to revise my answer

Trade straight up- yes.

Fire Brownell then, start and end a coaching search with Bennett- no
