“I have analyzed the last ten teams…….
Apr 18, 2017, 2:13 AM

…..there is just a razor-thin margin between where we are and where we want to be.”
Is it just me or is he actually saying the goal is to simply make the tournament? No championships, no win'em all attitude, no make'em dread Clemson being a new power house, just make the tournament?
That is kinda like saying we just wanna make a bowl game, any bowl will do.........

any margin can be thin if you spread the excuses far enough***

I think the sooner the AD comes to the conclusion

that Brownell is MBB's Tommy Bowden, and takes appropriate action, the better off the program will be.
He got one more year, so let's see what he does with it, but I don't think this is a coach that we need to keep hanging on to because he's "on the verge" of breaking through to greatness.

Oakland! What is razor thin..

about giving up a 20 point lead into a loss to a lesser team? More like a sledgehammer thin margin there.

Well, the goal last year was to make the tournament.

It will be the goal again next year. Hopefully, we will make the tournament, and revise our goal upward as we move forward.
It is sort of like football: our initial goal when Dabo took over was to play harder and win more close games. Once we did that, it was to win the division. Once we did that, it was to win the ACC. Once we did that, it was to win a BCS bowl game. Once we did that, it was to make the playoff. Once we did that, it was to win a national championship.
It would have been silly and completely unrealistic if our short-term goal in football when Dabo was hired was to win the national championship the following year. Of course that would have been great, but that's now how you set short-term goals.
I think it would be interesting to ask Brownell publicly what his on the court goals are for Clemson basketball, including his long-term vision. My hope would be that he has a vision to have us in the NCAA Tournament every year, making deep runs into the Sweet 16 and beyond in the not-too-distant future. This will obviously take a few years, but that should be the long-term goal. But we have to make the NCAA Tournament first, which is why that is the goal.
Crawl before you can walk, right?

According to Drad making the NCAA tournament is not important. Larry Shyatt should have had him as Ad. If Brownell believes everything he said in his presser, he doesn't understand the real world of college athletics.

You've heard of coach speak, right?

There is also AD speak. Do you honestly believe that DRad didn't have a serious discussion with Brownell about needing to win more games and make the NCAA Tournament? I'm sure Brad acknowledges this as well.
DRad did not want to state this publicly because it puts the coach and Clemson in a very awkward position. Of course the goal is to win games. If you don't think it is, then you need to read between the lines better.
