Clemson never had a losing season under Bowden

How much were we winning before he got here? And while Dabo has helped us take a step up, Clemson also had their first losing season in over a decade in his short tenure.
No need to trash Bowden just because he isn't coaching here anymore. He's a good guy, and he elevated Clemson's program greatly from the Tommy West years.

Sorry, I'm one of those that thinks 6-6 isn't good enough for Clemson.***

but neither is 6-7, or 3-8 and losing all your bowls. Bowden helped us take a major step up, and there's no reason to dump on the guy just because we couldn't get the next level under him.

The reason for the dumping is the lack of a championship combined with

That's business. It has nothing to do with character.

If you got offered a job making a little more money than your current position but you really wanted to stay where you are, wouldn't you bring the offer to the table with your boss?
If you wouldn't, you're a poor negotiator.
Bowden did countless good things for Clemson on the field as well as off, including introducing Clemson to Dabo and stocking our cupboard.

Defending a man that has made a few tasteless statements toward Clemson after he has left. That is like petting a dog after he has bit you. As a life long Clemson fan, I do appreciate the things that Tommy got done to up grade the facilities at Clemson. But lets not forget that the up grades made it easier for him to do his job in recruiting. His job was made easier with Clemson donor money. Gratitude he got, but we owe him nothing now. He was well paid then and well paid after he left. He was even being well paid at the same time that he was talking down Clemson. Defend him if you feel its necessary. But don't expect Clemson fans to agree with you or Pat him on the back.

maybe he isn't doing much anymore. And who the heck would want to read anything about Hatfield or West? Those guys nearly ruined the program.
