How wild is it that Brownell is gonna be fired


Jan 8, 2020, 9:10 AM

in a year in which he beats UNC in Chapel Hill and passes Cliff Ellis as Clemson's all time winningest coach?

Or does beating UNC get him another 10 years?

He owes us the parting gift after wasting 10 years of our time***

We we’re in the Elite 8 in a year when we lost @ UNC ...


Jan 8, 2020, 7:09 PM

We’ve been in the Sweet 16 a couple of times when we lost @ Chapel Hill.

All the sporadic great things Clemson has ever done in hoops have been done in years when we didn’t win in Chapel Hill.

If and when the streak is broken it should be cause for great celebration, but should in no way be given any more weight that a single game when deciding on a coaches fate.

Sorry, but until I actually see us win a game in Chapel Hole

I ain't buying it. That possibility is right up there with the Unicorns being on time to get on the Ark. :(

Yeah considering next years team is going to be the most talented basketball team of my lifetime, firing him this year (on a known down year) would be really stupid.

I agree with you. If this season ends poorly (all I'm looking for is significant improvement over the course of the year), and we don't have a good season next year, he needs to go.

So, CLEMSON has the 'best' team in years, and UNCheat has the 'worst' team I've witnessed in my entire lifetime (well at least 60 years of it), then CLEMSON could possibly have a chance to at least get close to a win at Chapel Hill???? Wow, the Devil's gonna get cold if that happens.

That is the familiar MO of the basketball program over the last 11 years.

It's also a great time to bring in a new coach with some passion, charisma AND coaching ability.

This just in... Somebody that can see the obvious must be on Clemson's payroll!

It's hard to argue with somebody that only sees black and white and doesn't look at context. Provided a couple things fall into place (Aamir Simms not leaving early and no transfers/injuries) we will have a very talented team next year. Perhaps the most talented team since I have been alive.

If this team was stagnant w/ no growth in sight, then I would agree with you. He would need to go. But it is incredibly obvious that this program is going in the right direction.

Going in the right direction?


Jan 8, 2020, 10:40 AM

Have you been watching?

Two NCAA tournament appearances over the course of ten years (one of which was with another coaches players) IS NOT my idea of the "right direction".

Frankly...Brownell should have been fired after the 2015 season.

I bet your school age kids absolutely love you.

Look Dad...here are our report cards with a bunch more C's and D's.

That's great kids. I can see you headed in the right direction.

Wow.... You must be a terrible parent.

Using your scenario for a second. Your kid has been struggling big time in a couple of classes. They start off the semester getting C's and D's. They know this is unacceptable and so do you. They begin to study every night and slowly but surely those C's and D's turn into C's and B's. And then for the final test, your kid is studying a lot and starting to feel confident going into the test.

Then out of nowhere, you come in and just tell them they need to quit school because they will never get it. They are just too stupid.

Man I bet your kids hate you.

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Both my kids graduated with honors from Clemson...


Jan 8, 2020, 2:36 PM

just like my wife and me.

But by all means, please keep guessing and speculating rather than taking a more proactive approach and actually doing something other than hoping that more waiting will produce the desired result.

Jan 8, 2020, 2:46 PM

Congratulations. I was joking because it was an absolutely terrible analogy.

For the last time, I am not basing my opinions on the past, I am basing them on what the future looks like.


I'm not just waiting and hoping that the team will produce. If we didn't just sign the best recruiting class under Brownell this past year, and didn't have 2 of the most highly recruited players already committed next year then my opinion on the state of the program would be different.

I have a question for you.... What do you think the reason is for Brownell's recruiting success last year and this year (assuming the two highly touted players end up signing their LOI). Do you think it's just dumb luck?

Jan 8, 2020, 11:10 AM [ in reply to Re: A Brownell sycophant who cares more for him than Clemson ]

was responsible for, I would say that is definitely a sign of stagnation and a lack of growth. It is obvious to me and to many others. Attendance is in the toilet.

We know what Brownell can do and we know what he can't do. Now lets use this opportunity to go out and get a good coach who can take the talent that you say is the best ever(the ultimate "Wait til next year" statement) that we know is a gross exaggeration, and go build a solid program that doesn't spend years wallowing in mediocrity to have a good year every 8 years or so.

Given the facilities improvements and the success of the football team, I'm surprised our recruiting hasn't been much better and much more consistent.

Re: After 11 years and only one trip to the Tournament that he


Jan 8, 2020, 7:04 PM

Has recruiting not picked up since the Littlejohn renovation?

I wouldn’t have been mad if he was fired after year 5. My point is that our program actually has some momentum right now. Considering that we have kept him all this time, it would be very dumb to fire him right when we have some momentum. Recruiting has picked up and we are an extremely young team.

We will have 7 4* on our team next year. There have been times where we haven’t had 1.

The know you all just want something to cry about and nothing would be enough, but you better get used to it. We are making the tourney next year and I think the program will have the momentum to be a perennial tourney team.
