Clemson Finds Its Man: Wright State’s Brad Brownell To Replace Oliver Purnell

Clemson has found their head coach replacement a week after Oliver Purnell left the school for DePaul. Brad Brownell will take over the Tigers.

The move is expected to officially be announced by Clemson on Tuesday.

After spending weeks courting high-profile candidates, DePaul will hire now-former Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell, according to Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports.

Purnell compiled a 138-90 record during his seven-year stint at Clemson, leading the Tigers to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Despite his regular-season success, the 56 year-old Purnell has yet to actually win an NCAA tournament game, going 0-6 in his career, with his latest loss a 86-78 setback to 10-seed Missouri in this year’s edition of March Madness.
