No, I am not trying to force Bobby Bowden out of FSU, but I'm just saying....We thought he would be the one getting the boot. Surprisingly, Papa Bowden is 4-1.
In a surprising move, Tommy Bowden was let go as the Head Coach of the disappointing Clemson Tigers. The Tigers, recipients of preseason hype, have fell short of expectations. I guess Bowden wasn't winning enough in the second year of his contract extension.
In this business of College Football, W's talk. The universities don't have really have the patience when the alumni are the ones pulling the strings. What I can't excuse, is the following quote from "Starting Quarterback" Cullen Harper and his father:
It's what he deserved," said senior quarterback Cullen Harper, who was benched after the Tigers' loss to Wake Forest loss and replaced by highly regarded sophomore Willy Korn. "Dabo Swinney is a fine man and will do an excellent job."
Harper struggled playing behind an inexperienced offensive line this season. His father, Jeff Harper, an offensive lineman on Georgia's 1980 national championship team, said Bowden's dismissal was justified.
"I'd call it karma," he said. "I thought it needed to be done. I think anytime a head coach or someone in a leadership position starts to place blame on his coaches and players, it weakens their respect on the team. His past experiences have shown he's done that."
So Cullen sells the coach out because he gets benched? Regardless of your ego, you dont sell the coach up the river and especially when you are a college football player. Being the Senior quarterback, you would expect more, but I guess its our fault for expecting much, once again.
all the bowdens sons suck. Now skip holtz on the other hand
