I would love to see Drad announce he's firing Brownell


Apr 1, 2019, 9:48 AM

today.

That would be, like, the most epic April fool's prank in the history of April fools.

lololol just thinking about it

The rest of the ACC thinks you're the fool for wanting to fire a coach who does so much with so little.

The question might be "Why does he have so little?"

One play per game away from 13--13!!!--ACC wins with the same cast--minus our 2 best players--that was picked to finish 13th in the conference a year ago.

UVa was the only team that could call us a gimme this year, because they out-Brownell Brownell with more talent.

We were in almost every other game, at least until halftime.

Sorry that you entitled folks don't pay attention to anything other than W/L. There's another school of Tigers in the Final Four who would love to have your 'support'. Why don't you join their bandwagon?

If we had won all 13 of those games, would you have bothered to attend one?

still attended a lot of basketball games. So not sure what your point was with that.

I seem to remember a lot of people making fun of Tommy Bowden's "few plays away" quotes, but now we use them to defend a basketball coach? And on top of that now we're using the 2017-2018 pre-season predictions from the ACC media to defend CBB after the 2018-2019 season?

My apologies. I confess that I cannot tell the invested critics from the uninvested.

The "All mouth, no money" fan should be called out when he demands a coaching change, because chances are he won't support the new coach, either.
The "Spoiled by Dabo" fans are well- intentioned but now believe that, if Dabo can climb the mountain in football, anybody should be able to get us up the mountain in basketball. ( incidentally, that mountain is 2.6 times as high in basketball.) We're now entitled. These are the fans that will eventually cause Dabo to leave, because he doesn't want to coach entitled fans like Alabama. If Tiger fans become just like Bama ones, Dabo will be gone, and it will be our fault.

Many are being dishonest with their unhappiness. If we all had known in advance that our Sweet 16 team, minus our leading scorer but with no significant additions, would be competitive in 15 league games and come down to the buzzer on 13, we would have been happy. Even if we had known we would lose 4 of them.

So I think the only thing that has changed from our expectations is our sense of entitlement, which is totally subjective.

A reference to a third party's objective evaluation of our team--last year--is only an attempt to restore objectivity to a discussion sorely lacking it. And yes, I admit the media underrated our team for the same reason everyone else does, including the fans: these kids play hard for Brad. Last year they were not more skilled than the media thought; they just played harder, more intense defense, and Gabe DeVoe reinvented himself as a scorer when we needed him to.

So anybody with a brain should have foreseen a drop off in W-L.

Anyway, the bottom line for any administrator has to be: are you living up to the goals that we objectively established? I'm pretty confident DRad looks at it that way. I doubt he will move the goalposts on Brownell just because Tnet wants him to.

But maybe you guys are right: maybe deriding the coach and team on a bulletin board is the best way to improve our team's performance and recruiting.

Ummm... last time I checked they play additional basketball AFTER halftime.


Apr 1, 2019, 11:47 AM [ in reply to Re: DRad is def a fool if he doesn't fire him...*** ]

And the final result of the game, win or loss, occurs AFTER halftime.

Soooo... why does being close at halftime mean anything when the final outcome is still to be determined?

DRad is already a fool for not firing him 4 or 5 years ago..


Apr 1, 2019, 12:30 PM [ in reply to DRad is def a fool if he doesn't fire him...*** ]

He'd be an even bigger fool if he doesn't fire him now.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Tell me again why he should have been fired 5 years ago?***


Apr 1, 2019, 12:45 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The same reasons he should be fired now...


Apr 1, 2019, 3:40 PM

He is a mediocre coach who can't recruit and he should have never been hired in the first place.
