So the college football world is now down to just ONE Bowden that shouldn't be coaching right now. Clemson, just a few months after signing its oft-maligned head coach Tommy Bowden to an extension, gave him the boot, meaning now ONLY Bobby Bowden is still at it. No Terry, no Jeff and now now Tommy. That's a shame.
In all honesty though, if Tommy Gruber had been Clemson's coach these last 10 years, he would have been shown the door about 4 seasons ago. Just saying...
I would say that maybe TB goes to FSU and finishes out the year giving his father tips on how to beat Clemson, but really, does ANYONE need tips on how to beat Clemson this season? Just smack them in the mouth.
One interesting thought. Tommy flirted with the Arkie job before reupping with Klimpsen...imagine if Arkie and Klimpsen had traded coaches this past offseason. Houston Nutt to the Tigers and Bowden to the Hogs. I am thinking the Hogs would be about where they are right now, though MAYBE TBowden could have used his silver tongue to convince Felix Jones to stick around (hey the guy got solid recruiting class after solid recruiting class to CLEMSON, SOUTH CAROLINA EVERY YEAR. He knows how to sell, clearly). With Felix Jones, maybe the team isn't turr-bull!
But picture Nutt with Clemson. James Davis would be in the Darren McFadden role of the WildTiger offense, with CJ Spiller playing the role of Felix Jones. And Cullen Harper is WAY better than Mustain or Dick or Matt Jones ever were. Clemson would CERTAINLY have been more competitive against Bama. I think Clemson EASILY wins the ACC with Nutt as its coach. I just wanted that on the record.
But we shall NEVER KNOW.
and because Clemson violated my moritorium on firing Bowden, I will now refuse to give them ANY LOVE in my weekly picks blog for the next 4 years. Yeah, TAKE THAT! NO LOVE KLIMPSEN!
