Anyone remember what Brownell's buyout is from his last contract? I don't think it was much, but at least WSU will get something from Clemson. We should have had a clause in his contract where the school that signed him away had to agree to a home and home series for every year left on his contract. Maybe we can add that in our next coach's (hopefully Donlon) contract.

Well, lets hope Bob Grant moves quickly and hires the right guy. The quicker we get this done the better.

We need to get this done. We could loose our entire recruiting class AND Vaughn Duggins if we don't hire Donlon ASAP. Duggins is able to transfer anywhere without having to sit out a year if he graduates from WSU this year.

sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5080574Brownell headed to coach at Clemson By Andy Katz Clemson will hire Wright State's Brad Brownell to replace Oliver Purnell, the school announced Tuesday morning. A 4 p.m. ET news conference has been scheduled. Brownell is familiar with the region after coaching at UNC-Wilmington for four seasons, including an NCAA tournament appearance in 2006. He was 84-45 in four seasons at Wright State. Purnell shocked Clemson when he abruptly left April 5 for Big East cellar dweller DePaul. Top assistant Ron Bradley was a candidate to replace Purnell, and had remained at Clemson during the search for a new coach. Bradley has a job waiting for him with Purnell at DePaul. Purnell also is expected to fill his assistant coaching positions with people familiar with Chicago-area recruiting. That could include members of the former Clemson coaching staff. Clemson hired Brownell after initially going through a list of candidates, including Mississippi State's Rick Stansbury, who received a quiet offer Monday. Stansbury decided against the move to stay with the Bulldogs. Clemson was 21-11 last season, 9-7 in the ACC. The Tigers lost to Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Last season, Brownell coached Dayton-based Wright State to a 12-6 record, 20-12 overall -- six games behind Horizon League champ Butler. He coached the Raiders to the NCAA tournament in his first season at Wright State in 2006-07, putting him in consecutive NCAA tournaments with two teams. Wright State won 20 games or more each of his four seasons at the school. Brownell's move to the ACC is a major step on what has been a steady, but quiet, career climb. But if any coach out of the Horizon League was going to make the jump to a higher-profile league, it was thought to be Butler's Brad Stevens. Three days after the Bulldogs lost to Duke in the national championship game, however, Stevens signed a 12-year extension with the school.

I'm pretty sure Bob Grant will do the right thing. The fact that we have been telling potential recruits that Donlon is Brownell's heir at WSU speaks for itself.
