I’m curious who’s out there on the market and who might have favorable ties or interest in clemson?

I was thinking the same thing! Watching all those seniors leaving on senior night was alarming. 5-6 players off the team. Obviously there are big shoes to fill and I don’t see how the bench makes me feel happy about it all. We don’t get any points from any of the hunter brothers, smirk, and then Wiggins is timid at times. Unconfident and needs to get serious. I like Godfrey and chef but beyond that who can play the 3man and who will contribute at point guard and SG point wise? Transfers?

I think it’s also important to realize that sometimes things just work out. We fired Bowden becomes it became untenable to keep him. They did not have a big name lined up, which is what this fan base wanted after 25+ years of middling results. Dabo was only meant to be a caretaker. But when the names that the big money wanted all turned us down, Dabo was given the lowest paying job in the ACC to continue being a caretaker while they regrouped to find someone else. If he had not made it to the ACC championship, he would not likely have been coach in 2010 and, if he had, he wouldn’t have survived that season. If Neff misses on the names at the top of his list then he makes the best hire he can. And if that isn’t a success then hopefully he’s learned from Brownell that giving a coach a decade plus isn’t going to unlock some innate ability.

I'm sure Neff has a list, but to answer the question, I'm sure there are plenty of coaches that could have immediate success. But, to play devil's advocate, did CBB not have immediate success? I think what everyone wants is sustained success. I 100% do not think CBB has done that. I still think it remains to be seen if he can do it. That being said, how can you fire CBB after the last two seasons, when you didn't fire him at any point in the prior twelve? He'll be the coach next year barring something unforeseen.

You think he's spewing BS to appease fans? I would imagine that the list might not be in his desk drawer, but he absolutely has a list. When Dabo says he has a list, is he also spewing BS? Remember, Neff has already fired the WBB coach and baseball coach. I don't think he's afraid to fire CBB.

This has to be solved before looking anywhere else other than CBB. What is the issue with Clemson where coaches like Barnes, Ellis, and Purnell (personal issue there I think) don't look to make it a career? I think many of the issues have been resolved, like facilities and assistant pay.

You're right to a certain extent, but I think (emphasis on think) there's a perception in the coaching community that Clemson isn't, or maybe wasn't, serious about basketball. I think that is changing, and I think CBB has helped to change that in terms of facility improvements and better assistant pay. It could also be his demise as the expectations are increasing.

I don't think that matters.

Sure - if we had a HISTORY of being great and we fell back (See Alabama football during the Shula era) - getting back seems to be a little clearer path.

But find the guy that understands he is cutting a brand new road - that speaks to and FEEDS a certain type of personality - and in my opinion, there are lots of those personalities.

Just keep trying until we find the guy - we coulda tried 2 or 3 in the time we have watched the current "leadership" put absolutely NO hardware in the trophy room.

Outside of the one year, he's recruiting roughly the top 35 range. So, ok, there's room for improvement.

Game planning. You would need to know specifically how they prepared and what they prepared for to make that statement.

Execution is where I disagree. The coaches job is to get players open looks. I think CBB does that.

A new coach would theoretically fix the game planning quickly. With the portal, recruiting could be fixed quickly, so I don't understand what could be a while.

None of this changes that CBB will be the coach next year.

I guess my definition of immediate and yours is different. It's also irrelevant about whose players they were as the OP asked who could have immediate success. That entails that the next coach is immediately successful which would be with most likely CBB's players. If that happened, would you be clamoring that the new coach was only successful because he had CBB's players? If not, that's a double standard. Let's also add that CBB had more success with Purnell's players than Purnell had seeing how CBB won a tournament game that year. So if success equals NCAAT wins, Purnell has zero, advantage CBB.

First TNet Post!
Brownell is an excellent X/Os guy. However, if you’re chopping up names for a proven coach that can recruit - then, Purely from a basketball standpoint, IMO, a great MBB hire would be Gregg Marshall. Excellent Recruiter, Firery (players play for him), solid X/O’s and in case I didn’t mention —> EXCELLENT Recruiter. Coached under J Kress at College of Chlstn, then lead Winthrop to the dance an obscene number of times. Went on to Whichita State and built a national contender - mind you, at Wichita Sate. If memory serves they made a Final 4 appearance and became contenders in the tourney.

Players take on the persona of their coach - how competitive is your coach, how firery is he, how enthusiastic is he and can he authenticly sell his vision to 18 year olds? Yes, Marshall goofed up (many years ago) but how many passes have we seen athletics give out to imperfect coaches. I remember watching Duke play Winthrop years ago (1st round of March Madness) at the Bon Secours arena and Marshall was dressed to the 9’s - suit and all - but it only took him disagreeing with a few calls and that suit jacket was flying - and his kids responded. Check his basketball record wherever he has been. Did I mention - he’s ultra competitive, will fire you up just chatting with him and a FANTASTIC recruiter? Someone will be lucky to get him.
