Clemson AD offers thoughts on men’s basketball program, Brad Brownell
Clemson is off to its best start in the Brad Brownell era at 16-4 (5-3) and is ranked No. 18 heading into Sunday’s game at Georgia Tech.
Tigers Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich is proud of the progress Brownell’s team has made so far this season but will wait until the year is over before readdressing Brownell’s contract situation.
Brownell, who is in his eighth season at Clemson, signed an extension through 2021 last April.
But while Brownell received a contract extension, his buyout number was lowered in the new deal. His buyout dropped from $3 million in the previous contract to $1.7 million following this season, $850,000 following 2019 and $425,000 following 2020.
