I can’t lie I’ve always tried to defend Brad and this year I even said at one point that I felt like maybe it was time to let him go. But he has coached his but off and his game plan defensively was masterclass so far in this tournament and this Arizona game as well. Not to mention the beautiful inbound calls, Brad has earned his job and the hate needs to stop. I’m really happy for the the dude and Clemson let’s freaking go tigers!
What people tend to ignore is we never gave enough money to Brownell’s program to expect much until Neff took over as AD. Now we have enough money going to basketball to get and keep great assistants. It’s really only fair to judge Brad on the last couple of years. I’ve never been a Brownell lover, but I’ve never been a Brownell hater either. Hopefully he can turn this run into recruiting success and keep the program headed in the right direction.
