If your goal is to be 'meh' or 'okay', run a clean program and not cost too much money to free up cash for football... the sad truth is Brad's your guy.

The difference between meh and bad isnt big enough.

Just hire some no name assistant and split the savings between football, baseball, softball and soccer.

This is the best view I’ve seen and I agree. That’s why I don’t get up or down about basketball. I don’t even watch anymore because the let down is coming

Same.
I mean THIS hurts because it's kind of a historic loss (13 points in first half and all).
But I just can't get amped up for the sport.

Felt like giving up 70 to WVU in the Orange Bowl all over again. That led to Steele’s firing; what do we do with Brad? He just won the lottery - six more years!! Come on man!!

He’s one of the two highest paid coaches in the ACC. How is that saving money?

He gets raises with every new contract. His current one tops out at 4.5 million. It’ll definitely be over $5 mill when they announce the new one. Scheyer at Duke is the only one who is possibly paid more - his salary is unknown since it’s a private school. You’ll find speculation that he is in the $7mill+ range but it makes no sense they’d pay him that much to start.

It’s always bad to sign a coach to an extension after he leads a team to an elite 8 and then follows that up with 27 wins and a top 15 season.

CBB has definitely put two years back to back which I didn't think was possible. However I was all for firing him several years ago and hiring Pat Kelsey when he was at Winthrop. Louisville and NCST will be beating us like a drum in the future.

Surprised at a six year contract. Is it the longest in his tenure? Would've waited toll after the season and gone no more than four.

My agenda is to support and cheer for Clemson athletics. Clemson basketball played a boring first half game against Louisville and did the same thing today. Coming out flat two games in a row points back to the head coach. The team deserves better and so do the fans. When a sports team has an embarrassment like today’s game, someone needs to lose their job. It is up to Neff to figure out who to send packing.
