BOWDEN, R.I.P. AT CLEMSON
Tommy Bowden, out at Clemson: film at eleven, etc, but TigerIllustrated is reporting it like it’s done, meaning they must have resolved the issue of his $4 million dollar buyout. Dabo Swinney would be the interim coach in the meantime, and with a name like that, you are always the interim coach, and never the coach.
The fail is up to here, which means I’m fired.
Update: This is, according to Joe Schad, the text Cullen Harper sent him:
I just found out. It’s what he deserves. Dabo Swinney is good man who will do a good job.”
Knives out, Cullen. Knives out! The Tommy Bowden Death Index has been appropriately updated, but damn, damn, damn: this doesn’t seem to be difficult for anyone at Clemson, does it? Also, if you want a particular blogspot address it should be available shortly.

Butch Davis is not an option for Clemson, but he will not be for Auburn or Tennessee, either.
Muschamp, Gary Patterson, maybe Dabo if he wins out, Bobby Johnson, and Jim Grobe. Grobe has told others he has no interest in the job.
I am going to let you in on a little secret about Muschamp. While he would prefer Auburn over Clemson, he will want no part of Tennessee. For starters, Tennessee will not throw Saban money at him, and rightfully so. He can make almost as much, possibly as much, at Clemson and have a much easier row to hoe until Georgia, Auburn, or Texas come calling.
We cannot beat out Auburn for Muschamp, but we can beat out, Tennessee. And, we would be a stepping stone job for him, but give me a couple of ACC titles and I don’t care.
As for SCar fans, Tommy is so pathetic that he went 7-2 versus you. What does that say about you?

Good thing Tommy flirted with the Arkansas job, it gave him a nice golden parachute.
Here are some people I would look at, I have no idea if Clemson would hire them: 1) Will Muschamp, 2) Brian Kelly, 3) Lane Kiffen, 4) Todd Graham (has Saban-like jumping abilities)
Since Terry Bowden declares himself available for every coaching vacancy, how hilarious would it be if he lobbied for the job his brother just got fired from. I wouldn’t put it past him.

What about Petrino? He’s been in Arkansas for months now, probably long enough to think the grass might be greener in the ACC.

Muschamp’s ours when Richt jumps ship to Miami in 2 -3 years, methinks.

I do not like this coveting of our defensive coordinator. My hope is that Texas enters into an agreement whereby Muschamp is Mack’s guaranteed successor. Texas certainly has the money to keep Muschamp happy in the interim, and it is questionable how much longer Mack would want to stay — particularly if he can go out on top this season or next (when Texas should be even better).
Hope is eternal, and I hope the same is true of Muschamp’s relationship with Texas.

FYI, Dabo was a WR at Bama. I would bet Muschamp would rather eat a turd than return to auburn. And ut does have the money to get him. That was a weird statement. However, not as weird as, “they would not throw saban money at him”. Why would they? I think that is reserved for qualified/proven HEAD coaches.
