Thread: Bowdon out at Clemson

Now why would any college fire their coach of like 10 years right smack dab in the middle of the season? They were like 3-3, whats so damn bad about that?

Average will get you fired at a place like Clemson. Anything else going on that would contribute to his firing?

Thought he resigned...

Thats hard to tell. Half of what I read says he was fired and the other half, he stepped down. I think they may have given him the option of leaving with a little dignity but he was leaving either way.

Yeah, that's usually how it works. Clemson didn't do much with him, and if I'm not mistaken they're typically a joke when it comes to player graduation, those numbers may have something to do with the answer.

You get paid as a college coach to win. Period. a five hundred winning percentage, rightfully so, should get you can't at any college that wants a winning program. They gave him plenty of time to prove himself.
I think the timing of it could be a message that they are serious about winning.

just been browsing and came across www.watchesshopping.net there prices seem to be way lower that standard. All of the wristwatches seem to be priced around $200 to $300. Are they fakes? The site seems to look quite legit.

they thought they were going to go undefeated. Visions of grandeur. The Ghost of Danny Ford could not be overcome. Bowden has done less with more and that is unacceptable at climpson.He has been on the hot seat for 4-5 year nows.

3-3 with 2 of those wins against 1-AA opponents is not what they signed up for.
