Holy cow, what a bombshell! Who could've seen this coming?***

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Thanks for all you've done for Clemson, TDP!


Aug 9, 2012, 11:19 AM

I will admit that TDP has made some mistakes along the way. But overall, I'm very happy with where he's leaving the Athletic Progam at his retirement. Our football program is on the rise in recruiting, facilities, and coaching staff. Basketball has overall moved in a positive direction (maybe not as far as we've hoped). and he deserves some recognition for the academic progress. Hopefully, the next AD will continue TDP's progress and bring us even further.

This is true, but you said a lot...It is time to grow and become a better, top ranked University. With the Athletic and Academic improvements we are capable of making a HUGE National Impact. Time to get out of being in the middle and move closer to the top!

Yeah, I'll be that guy....


Aug 9, 2012, 11:19 AM

Thanks TDP for all of your hard work and efforts over the last decade. I may not agree with everything you have done or all of your decisions, but I do think you have done many good things for Clemson. I think the football program is on the verge of restoring its rightful place on the national stage and this will be in part to you taking a risk on a WR coach. Best of luck in the future and I wish you many naps and good fishing (yeah, had to ;) )

Well since many knew he was on his last year with nothing coming across the desk it was no surprise. This may have been the change we really needed. It is time to quit hanging in the middle of the standings and being an average/above average University and make a POSITIVE National Impact!

TDP left us on solid financial and facilities footing, and for that I'm thankful. But he seemed to have the same problem as Bowden in an inability to 'break through' to the next level. This article touts 13 ACC Championships in 10 years--I honestly don't think that's much to brag about. That's 1.3 Championships a year out of a possible what, 19 sports? (Both track and fields count twice, indoor and outdoor.)

Shoulda been fired for foolishly granting $4M Bowden buyout.


Aug 9, 2012, 5:21 PM

By the time that TDP agreed to give the perennially upper-mediocre Bowden a $4M buyout, the Arkansas newspapers and ESPN had already reported that Arkansas' board of trustees had rejected Bowden as "a lateral move" from Houston Nutt. Bowden had no option but to stay at Clemson, yet TDP granted Bowden a buyout. Bowden was not (and after over 100 D-1 head coaching changes, obviously still is not) a desirable coach for big-league programs. TDP should have been fired for granting Bowden that unnecessary buyout and putting Clemson in a hole.

Even if Barker told TDP to grant the foolish $4M buyout, TDP should have convinced Barker that it was the wrong thing to do.

The rumors were that the BOT tried to fire TDP but his contract was airtight. I doubt that TDP was offered the choice to stay.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree!***

Barker retiring and keeping TDP.
