If you have not heard the news yet, Head Coach of Clemson Baseskeball Oliver Purnell has left and went to DePaul, signing a 7 or 10 year contract for $15 million dollars. Why did Oliver Purnell leave an up and coming Clemson team that plays in the toughest conferrence in the nation? We all now that Clemson is mainly a football college and then many people would say Clemson baseball would be next then followed by basketball. Maybe Oliver just wanted to get out of Clemson and this was the most opportune time to do so. Coach Purnell brought Clemson from being down in the ACC to one of the top 5 teams, he just could not get them over the hump in the NCAA Tournement. Purnell was 0-3 in leading Clemson out of the first round of the tournement. Even thought i hate to see him leave maybe it is just the best thing for both Clemson and Coach Purnell. Clemson fans, lets just hope we get a better coach than Purnell because he was a good one.
