Those on this board that say Brownell's record is because the ACC is down need to consider also that the ACC in football is terrible and has been for years. Fair is fair in comparison but I don't see them deriding Dabo and they should not. I'm just saying.

It's a little harder to criticize a coach who has been to 4 National Championship games and won 2 of them. Dabo didn't just win the ACC he has dominated it over the years.

Dabo‘s record against the SEC in recent years has been poor, and our record against the best teams on our schedule has also been poor. That has to change, or else we are left to conclude that we are mostly padding our wins against week ACC teams.

Think! What prevented students from visiting Clemson for several years? What is the best tool Clemson have for recruiting? Who was our DC for several years? His defensive philosophy cost us several games. Who was our overrated QB before CK? All these things combined to produce the record of the last few years. Look at our more recent recruits.

Given a down ACC, we have to look at performance against ranked opponents (in or out of conference) as well as nonconference performance, especially as it relates to the better teams on the schedule.

Dabo was 0-3 against the SEC last year, including a blowout loss to Georgia and a double digit loss to Texas. Dabo is also 0-5 against his last top 5 AP opponents.

In contrast, Brad is 5-0 in his last 5 games against AP top 5 opponents, and has wins against Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Baylor, etc. in recent years.

If anyone is benefiting from a weak ACC lately, it’s Dabo. When was our last signature win in football over a great team? It’s been a while.

Pot. Kettle. Black. You make some valid points at times. It’s the Dabo bashing that’s killing you man. Yes. We were 0-3 last year against ESecPN teams. But Dabo is the most successful coach over his tenure against ESecPan teams of ANY coach in football. He’s the second most successful coach behind Saban. Your argument is a bit of a red herring mixed with straw man. From a logical philosophy standpoint. In fact, the last three years were at a better win % than the start of the third best decade in college football history. Just a fact.

Show me any trophies from any CU basketball coach. CBB has accomplished as much as any previous coach. It'd be a big task to get a Calipari to come here. He has to win one more game to match what we did last year. If you can't appreciate what CBB has done in the last few yrs, you'll never appreciate any coach.
Serious question. If CBB had Duke's players here, where would we be now?

I made a mistake in that I drank the Koolaid this year. I won't make that mistake again. Dabo was hired and given his raise to win/ because he won championships. We have a baseball coach that was hired to win championships. Brownell was not. He was hired to maintain the status quo and to have teams that are competitive. He has done that, but if we want championships Clemson has to do what it takes to improve the entire program, including hiring a championship caliber coach.

is if CBB out recruits Duke in the future and we actually have equal or better players. No coach gets elite players handed to them. The coach must recruit them.

If you fail to gameplan, adjust in game, motivate, and manage timeouts and momentum appropriately, better talent will lose out to lesser talent in hoops. Dabo competed in four and won two national championships with recruiting averages not even inside the top 10 in the country, yet he wiped the floor. Excellent coaches, championship coaches - they churn out a whole greater than the sum of its parts. I am not convinced Brad would win championships simply having the greatest collection of talent.

Clemson won the 1939 Southern Conference basketball championship. There's one. The only problem with your argument about no Clemson coach producing an ACC/NCAA/NIT championship is that Brownell has been given more time than any other coach to produce. It's painfully obvious to most people that Brownell is never going to win a championship. So there is no reason to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. If you believe Brownell will win the ACCT, please tell me one of two things - (1) which year, or (2) how many more years are you willing to give Brownell to do so?

It’s mentioned constantly that the ACC is terrible. Like non-stop regarding football. Is there a difference in winning 9 championships in 16 seasons and winning 0 in 15. Let me know.

During Dabo’s tenure only Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and Florida State have managed to win an ACC title besides Clemson. GT and FSU have strong CFB histories having won national titles and VT is certainly a serious football program despite recent struggles.

During Brownell’s tenure Miami (less NCAA appearances, less weeks ranked , all-time losing record to Clemson), Virginia Tech (less NCAA appearances, less weeks ranked), and GT (all time losing record to Clemson) have all won championships.
