Internet is beginning to buzz this morning over the speculation that Wright State’s Brad Brownell will be named the Clemson Tigers Head Basketball Coach today at a press conference to announce this hire to take over where former Coach Purnell left off after leaving for DePaul.
WSPA has this story up – HERE – indicating that Brownell was talked with Clemson for a second time on Monday after MSU’s Stansbury said “no thanks.” Gary Parrish on his blog also says that Clemson has Brad Brownell in their sights – HERE.
Brownell has been at WSU the last 5 seasons, winning 20 games in each of those years after posting 4 straight 20-win seasons at UNC-Wilmington. He’s been to the Dance 3 times, losing all 3 in the 1st round. Seems to know the “X’s” and “O’s” as well as a good recruiter who knows the area after his stint at UNC-W.
After his second discussion yesterday, the buzz is that he said yes to the offer and there could be a press conference today on this subject in Clemson, SC so stay tuned as it seems Terry Don has his man…..Thoughts on this potential hire?
