ATL Bear Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Another rough start candidate is June Jones. From Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl to being dismantled by Rice as the head coach of SMU.I guess his replacement at Hawaii Greg McMackin fits as well after the drubbing Florida put on them.

SacFalcFan Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 i don't think tommy bowden is on the hotseat.. he is loved in clemson and they will give him as much time as he wants IMO. I have a friend who works there in their administration and he has told me how much love they have for bowden.. all that matters is graduating players and being competitive. If they win the acc this is all forgotten. I think the one coach who is on the hotseat is dave wannestadt.. he barely kept his job this past season even with the win over wvu.

I know expectations were high this year, so if they drop in the ACC ranks this year, wouldn't you believe he could/would be in trouble?

I've talked to a few at Clemson who feel like after a promising start, Bowden has done nothing but disappoint and they want him gone.

The fans may have a different opinion, but they may not be the same as those big boosters/admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's obvious the people at Clemson love Bowden, why else would you give that horrible of a coach an extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demetrius Dew Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I think Rich Rod knew what he was signing up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
