On paper, Brownell *is* the best (most successful) men's bball coach Clemson's ever had.
Let's agree on that. It's not even close. Even Purnell, who was purdy good, posted four losing conference records in seven seasons.
Brownell's put up five in 13.
Here's the pivot:
Clemson's just an average program. Maybe good at times but perennially, just "meh."
Some of you arent satisfied with that. (And some of you just love trolling those of us, like JK, who dont think bball gets the support it should.)
But it's not the easiest conference to win (this year being a rare exception). (Oh, and the ACC being a marquis conference is another indisputable fact, btw.)
That said, Brownell has done remarkably well and should leave on his terms.
good luck finding a coach that can match his success.

This is hilarious, all we hear from the BB crowd if Dabo doesn’t go undefeated and win a National Championship is how bad he sucks and how stupid he is. If we want to have a mediocre basketball team forever then yes we have our guy.

I mean, yeah, Dabo's had a good run. And expectations are higher as a result. Much much higher.
But to compare football to basketball in terms of funding/facilities/fanbase and in-conference competition is a stretch.
(Let's face it, if Clemson was an SEC football team the last decade wouldve probably looked aloooot different.)

If Clemson were in the SEC there would be 2 years maybe 3 where there was some growing pains. Those "bad" years would be 9 or 10 win years at worst. Recruiting would take off in a big way, that's the most used line to recruit against Clemson. Clemson football under Dabo will never be irrelevant.

you guys are mesmerized by the SEC thing. Its like your identity is SEC not the University of South Carolina. But the ironic thing is, you don't contribute anything of value to the SEC. You're a placeholder at best. Pretty sure if you polled the majority of the SEC teams fanbases and they give the option to trade out Scar for Clemson the overwhelming majority would do that in a heartbeat. Scar is one of the schools that drag that conference down in value. But ya'll trumpet SEC SEC like you're part of the cool crowd... and you're the dirty kid with the snot running down to your mouth. IDK, just thought i'd point that out for ya.

Big12 here. Hasnt been a great run football-wise for us.

Couldnt care less what Carolina does they're boring and generally forgettable.

If we're going to quote facts the only reason UofSC is in the SEC is that UF ans Jawja needed a patsy in the east and UNC and CCC would not leave...if they had the SEC would never have poultry and dumped sailors!..The idiots thought that Broyles would bring in a strong Arkansas team and they collapsed! SEC was not always so smart in their choices...ESPN money made them look smarter...fact is CCC is a great national draw and ESPN counts on that...much of the SEC does not draw well, need for UT and Okies!

is better than Cliff Ellis’s, Rick Barnes’s, and Oliver Purnell’s here.
If NCAA Tournament success is a major factor, and I believe it is, Brad is the best basketball coach we’ve had.

in the last 10 years the conference winners have been Miami, Virginia, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Duke, Fl St(covid no tourney), Ga Tech, and Virginia Tech in that order.
Thats 8 different ACC teams out of a total 15 teams thats won the ACC Tournament in the last 10 years.
Your "facts" do not support your narrative.

Honest question for the Brownell supporters that should be a simple yes or no.
If this is the best, most talented team Brownell has had in his 13 years at Clemson, do you think he should be retained if he fails to make it to the NCAA tourney this year?

When I said "sling away" I wasn't thinking in terms of victim but more in terms of zoo animals.
I remember the time at the San Diego zoo the black rhino backed up and doused some kids with a stream of urine. The kids were annoying the rhino with their noise and whatnot so the rhino, whose brain is the size of a turnip, backed up and pee'd up their legs, so to speak.
HTH.

Could we get worse? On paper maybe. But we dont make the tournament now, so does it really matter? Take the chance. The risk/reward ratio is way higher in favor of getting better.

Why are you bringing this up in the middle of season where we are currently in the top four of the ACC, and had our best start to conference play in program history?
It sounds like you just don’t like Brownell and want a new coach, and aren’t basing it off of our current team at all.

The current team isn’t going to make the tournament. So why not try something different. You cry about fan support and attendance, but fan support and attendance could be up if you make a change. Just the way things work. Make a change and the support will be up for a while. Could stay up depending on the outcome of games.

Middle of the season we were #1 in the conference with a 2 game lead. Support was there, people were getting hesitantly excited for the potential of what could be. Now we're hoping we can stay in the top 4 and sitting on the bubble. I'm "hoping" we can find some magic and put together a nice run to close out the season and ACC tourney, but history, long-term and recent, is not in our favor. So much for our best start in history.
What are your thoughts if we miss the tournament?

As for winning last 4 games last year, that was after 6 Ls in a row. 1-1 in ACC tourney. No "big dance".
The last 6 years our record in the last six games has been:
4-2
5-1
3-3
4-2
2-4
3-3
21-15 = avg 3.5-2.5
So, historically, we are looking to go 4-2 or 3-3. Pretty much what most people are expecting. 4 wins against the bottom feeders and 2 Ls on the road at UVA and NCSU. Maybe 1-1 in ACC tourney? Who knows?
Does that get us in the "big dance"? What are your thoughts if we don't?
But by all means lets keep making stuff up

We won our last four after LOSING six in a row prior, all in February, a late season tank of epic proportions, absolutely killing any postseason chance the team had, including NIT. The only thing Brad managed to accomplish with that late flourish was saving his own skin.
You don't give a crap about Clemson basketball or Clemson in general. A complete and total phony you are.

and our fans will continue to have unrealistic expectations.
How do I know that?
Because most Clemson fans seem to expect us to be in the NCAA Tournament most years, but don’t care that we spend less on basketball than just about everyone in the ACC and also have among the lowest fan attendance in the ACC at our home games.
All this, on top of our history as a bad basketball program at a school that cares too much about football and too little about basketball.
But this amazing coach you envision is going to overcome all that, because “Clemson deserves it.” Yep, it’s so easy, just play fun basketball, be a cool guy, and remind players that Dabo is our football coach, and we will be a force to be reckoned with every March.

program for so long now with Brad that many are simply getting inured to the condition and losing sight of past potential we've shown. OP's 3 NCAA's in a row run was no accident. Nor was Barnes'. We see how hard it is just to make one of these. The longer this goes on, the more the 'as good as it gets' mentality will take hold.

us mid-pack in the ACC. Plenty. Maybe some of them can get us above that, and brownell has proven for a fact that he cannot. There is no debate. Clemson basketball, under Brownell, has been, as a matter of cold, hard fact - mediocre. It defines mediocre. End of story. Period. So, if you want to continue with that, keep Brownell - you know for a fact that's waht you will get. It's very possible that whe could hire a new coach that could do even worse (Larry Shyatt). But there is also a chance somebody could do better, and if we are not willing to try to be better than mediocre, if we are truly satisfied with that, then scrap the men's basketball program, pour all of that money into wimmin's bassetball, and maybe we could compete with the coot hens, and have something to be proud of.

On paper, Brownell *is* the best (most successful) men's bball coach Clemson's ever had.
Let's agree on that. It's not even close. Even Purnell, who was purdy good, posted four losing conference records in seven seasons.
Brownell's put up five in 13.
Here's the pivot:
Clemson's just an average program. Maybe good at times but perennially, just "meh."
Some of you arent satisfied with that. (And some of you just love trolling those of us, like JK, who dont think bball gets the support it should.)
But it's not the easiest conference to win (this year being a rare exception). (Oh, and the ACC being a marquis conference is another indisputable fact, btw.)
That said, Brownell has done remarkably well and should leave on his terms.
good luck finding a coach that can match his success.
... I believe he is stating ACC Basketball has never been worse. On that point, Come_and_take_it® is correct. Back in the day, before one-and-done, 6th in the ACC was strong.

This is a perfect example of cherry picking your statistics.
Brownell is not as good as Rick Barnes, who was the most talented coach we ever had, but if you look at the NCAA tournament, which is ultimately the measuring stick, then I will successful coach is Cliff Ellis.
Brownell has also been coaching with the most support from the administration, the best facilities, and the weakest ACC in history. He has had every advantage that other coaches have not and he sucks!
