Confirmed: Tommy Bowden--Win Thursday or be bought out

Something's gonna brake up there soon, I'm hearing more and more all the time. Losing to Wake might have been close to the last straw.....

Something needs to change. I think they could be a solid team if they had an offensive line. But the offense based around two fantastic running backs is going to sputter when the offensive line can't do anything.

Despite giving up only 12 points last night, their defense did not look that impressive. They needed to contain WF's QB, but failed.

Da'Quan Bowers is going to be a good one, though.

They committed to the Nickel package all night which is baffling to me. When they had their base defense in and brought some heat, they got off the field. Too much finesse.

Here is what I'm hearing around here...right now, there are "negotiations" underway concerning financial concerns, personnel changes on staff and roster, and a developing rift between players and some coaches.

Possible scenarios:

1) Bowden goes because he will not make coaching changes.

2) Bowden stays and removes his coordinators.

3) Coordinators stay, but there are personnel changes including Willy Korn as your new starting QB.


Tommy has an ace in his hand with the University President who absolutely loves him.

Not sure if it will be enough, but that is today's buzz.

ESPN just reported that Harper is not the starter. Korn is in.

This is on the Clemson board and indicates their frustration with TB....
Cullen is/was their current starting QB...

"cullen its not your fault. Tommy has a track record of coaching talent out of his players. Charlie Whitehurst dropped 1 round in the nfl draft each year he spent with TB and co"

It now appears that Tommy didn't even have the decency to tell the kid he was benched......can't imagine JT doing something like that......

From the Tiger boards....

Now I really don't like Tommy Bowden. I was on the fence before. But instead of throwing coaches under the bus for not doing their job, he does it to players. His press conference pretty much said Korn is more mobile and will start, Harper has been struggling. This may be true. I may agree with it. However, in his next breath, he says, "We havent been able to get in touch with Harper yet to let him know that he is benched."

So you are going to tell the media first before you tell the student athlete? Thats dirty, Tommy.

He says Spence hasn't forgotten how to coach in the past six weeks. Did NFL draftee Cullen Harper forget how to play quarterback in the last six weeks? No. He has struggled. So has Spence. But hey, its an easier and less expensive fix to push the blame onto Cullen and let him read about it on Tigernet.

Way to build team spirit, Tommy, this will really boost morale over the rest of the schedule.
