Coots say probation is all Tenn & Clemson's fault
Reference this article:
http://www.southcarolina.scout.com/2/429088.html
Yes Gamecock fans.
We admit it.
It was ALL a mass conspiracy.
A double secret meeting was held at the Esso club sometime in the early 90's.
People in attendance were Tommy West, Phil Fulmer, Becky Bowman, Bobby Bowden, Brad Scott, Tommy Bowden, and Terry Don Phillips.
Summary of the meeting is as follows:
Tommy West knows already that he is in over head and won't be able to hold the head coach position long at Clemson.
Bobby Bowden knows that his team will probably win the National Championship - thus propelling Offensive Coordinator Brad Scott to a head coaching position.
Tommy Bowden wants the head coaching job at Clemson but needs to position himself.
Head coaches Tommy West, Bobby Bowden, and Phil Fulmer give Tommy Bowden the perfect playbook that will propel ANY team to a PERFECT SEASON - which will make him a viable candidate for Clemson job.
Tommy West, again, knowing that he is in over his head, agrees to put together 4 medicore seasons, culminating in a 3-8 season in '98 to coincide perfectly with the younger Bowden's perfect season at Tulane.
Meanwhile, Bobby and Brad, scheming to make the road at Clemson as easy on Tommy Bowden as possble, put together a plan to further decimate the ever feeble South Carolina Gamecock Football team. By doing this they will ensure that Tommy Bowden will have a long tenure at Clemson, because a win over the Gamecocks at the end of each year will go along way if the season is medicore.
Bobby knows that Brad will be offered the Gamecock job if the seminoles win the National Championship - so he rolls one off just to keep the plan in motion.
Brad, ever mindful of who is pulling the strings here, stretched his Gamecock tenure just long enough to devoid the program of all talent. It is a hard pill for Brad to swallow knowing that he will be taking a huge pay cut by going from head coach to assistant. But he does it all in blind loyalty to the Bowden clan.
Tommy Bowden, now the coach at Tulane, calls West at Clemson and tells him to put his 3-8 season into action. He calls Brad Scott at South Carolina and tells him, make sure you go 1-10 this year. He also comforts him and lets him know he will be hired at Clemson following his termination by the Gamecocks.
Now all that's left is for Tommy Bowden to go 12-0 at Tulane. He pulls out the "perfect playbook" (previosly provided at the Esso club double secret meeting) and rattles off a perfect season. This positions him for the Clemson job.
An intricate part of the plan, (and in fact this is the sheer brilliance of it all) is that Bobby Bowden, Phil Fulmer, and co are able to see several coaches ahead in the future.
Knowing that South Carolina will be devastated after the Brad Scott debacle, they can predict with unbelievable precision the eventual resignation of Lou Holtz at Notre Dame. By now, Lou should be ready to coach again and Bobby knows that Holtz and McGee are good friends. Bobby deduces with Columbo-like accuracy that McGee will hire Holtz.
This is where Fulmer comes in. As planned, Fulmer will back off of a yet to be determined "big name recruit" and immediately cry foul to his buddies at the NCAA. Bobby and Phil, seeing years into the future, know that Holtz is dirty and a call by Fulmer to the officials will turn up some dirt.
So:
FSU wins Title SC hires Brad TB goes undefeated at Tulane West goes 3-8 at Clemson and gets canned Brad goes 1-10 at SC and gets canned Clemson hires TB TB hires Brad SC hires LOU Fulmer cries foul Investigation Probation
I love it when a plan comes together

you would think they would try to write a somewhat professional article, with that website being affiliated with scout... but that was just typical Gamecock nonsense that any idiot over there would post.

the whole Derek Watson ordeal. This is pathetic. If I were, I can't believe I'm even thinking this, a Gamecock fan, articles such as this would embarrass me.

SCU, the State of South Carolina, all the good people of The State of South Carolina , and little baby Jesus! I thought Cory Boyd had drug problems but this dude makes Courtney Love look like the Pope! UT and CU orchestrated the greatest fraud in the history of the written word. Maybe UT "let" us win the Peach as payback for the "Sting of the Century"! Where was the 3rd gunmen? In the sewer of Willy B of course! By the way, Lou getting into the Hall of Fame is a bigger travesty of justice than anything that idiot proposed us and UT did to SCU! And lastly, if you can get somebody into school that Fat Fulmer can't, YOU ARE CHEATING!

Wouldn't it be great to meet the author in person and see the look on his face trying to convince us as we are running on the ground laughing.

I imagine it was all engineered by Ben Tillman...

But surely that's how it happened...I mean it couldn't be that they have a lousy program, cheat and STILL have a lousy program, could it?
Or maybe ol' Ben Tillman isn't quite as dead as they'd like him to be.
I stand in awe that that scheme's brilliance!

Now follow this folks..

Now, who is a self admitted whistle blower?
Yup, the sack himself.

the shadowy figure lurking in the parking garage in downtown Cootlumbia who fed all the inside info to The Bowdens. Some say it is one of the many disgruntled ex-presidents of uSuC, or an ex-coach forced out due to inappropriate behavior, or.... ;^) GO TIGERS!!!!!!

...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
