He was never considered for the job at Ark. that was all a hoax. I am not a Gamecock fan but if Darthvisor was coaching our talent we would win a national championship! We need to clean house at Clemson and that goes for the IPTAY office too. Their only concern is money not loyalty. After Sat. night I wonder how many of the big donors (who have no Clemson ties) are feeling? After that pitiful display of football on Sat. night Tammy is back on the hotseat!

He was out coached by Saban. I have been a Clemson fan for 30 years and have never seen such a disappointing loss and effort. IPTAY - Get rid of Tommy now. He cannot coach and is not worthy of coaching at Clemson. Clemson has passed on so many coaches (Saban, Spurrier and others) hoping this clown would improve. Cut the cord. Tommy Bowden must go.

Get Tammy Bowden out of Clemson....and Rob Spence. If we had an Offensive Playcaller that had some guts, we would be a perennial top 10. We do this every year. We play a team that stops the run the first 5 plays and we abandon it. If the O-Line is so bad then they don't need to try throwing it 34 times. they need to give it to the guys that can make people miss.....aka Spiller and Ford and see if they can break one. Coach tammy Bowden will always be an Underachiever. We need to bite the bullet and let him go. Mike Leach from Texas Tech would have us competing for the National Championship this year with players he didn't even recruit. Face it TDP, we made the wrond choice signing Tammy to an extension. Clemson is the only team in the Country that nunderachieved last year and then gave their Coach a new contract.......Real Smart! We want Mike Leach!!! Get Tammy Bowden out of Clemson….and Rob Spence.

Then we drop out of the top 10, usually down to the 20's or worse, and then he rolls off a few wins over crappy teams. He needs to go. Its clear he can't get this team over the hump and as long as he stays, we will always be a 7-5, 8-4 team, losing at least one game each year that we shouldn't and then winning one we shouldn't too. Todays loss to Alabama was a joke. The team was unprepared, unmotivated, and out coached by Saban and Alabama. Clear evidence - how many 3rd and longs did our db's play 5 yards behind the first down marker and then give up the first down pass. That was ridiculous. We have the recruits, facilities, and existing talent, we just don't have a damn coach. Fire Tommy Bowden NOW Fire his ass
