After guiding his Clemson basketball team to the Final Four of the NIT in 2014, Brad Brownell received a six-year contract extension through 2020 which will pay him an average of $1.75 million per year.
It was a statement by athletic director Dan Radakovich that Brownell is his guy. He and Clemson committed to Brownell and his coaching staff, basically showing faith in him and believing he is the guy that can return the Tigers to being a perennial NCAA Tournament team.
Knowing at the time he was already working on plans to build a new $63.
