He played one stinking game against Pennington yet acts like he dogged him for four years.

CTB you're a good guy but your glib one liners and inability to do anything but finesse football make me glad you're gone from CU.

He still doesn't get it.

It's not Sammy Watkins. It wasn't James Davis. It wasn't CJ Spiller. It wasn't Charlie Whitehurst.

It's the team, and playing as a team. Chad Morris and Kevin Steele understand that. I think Dabo understands that. Tommy never did. He thought if he could field a team of great players the wins would come. That's not how it works I don't care how good the players you have are.

This coaching staff could win the ACCC with Bowden's players from most years.

EXACTLY LIKE OUR MOTTO THIS YR. "ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM, ONE CLEMSON" IE everyone and I mean everyone working for the same goal.Not that they in the past were not working for the same goal but this team is not only doing that but everyone is as a whole unit as one.

thats the way his daddy did it so it has to be right...


get enough great talent and nothing matters..

the only thing about that is even though I love my alma mater and think Clemson is the best its gonna be hard to get the best talent in the country with our recruiting footprint.

We need good talent and great coaching if we are gonna win big time.

"In our recruiting footprint?" Are you kidding me?

Clemson is surrounded by great talent. Texas is as big as the entire southeast. What does it matter if we're a small state - recruiting is done in a 500 mile radius no matter where you are; our 500 miles is pretty fertile.

Dabo could "very easily" win them all, but the best TB


Oct 13, 2011, 3:49 PM

could do was lose 3 games in a season......with 10 chances

Tommy is still laughing at us. If anyone read all of the article, he says he still has 3 years left of Clemson pay out.

I don't like his demeanor in this article at all.

I liked TB, but dang man, don't sulk in your lack of success. Be happy that we are moving foward and have a bright future of the program.

I didn't read that as "laughing at us", I just read it as he doesn't have to worry about financials for a while. #### our administration for not letting him go to Arkansas. But then again, Dabo wouldn't have gotten the nod back then.

Which begs the question... There were so many people on here that were critical of TDP for his decision to hire Dabo, but I haven't seen anybody say recently that maybe he saw something that the rest of us didn't see. Could be the blind hog and the acorn, but methinks TDP knew it all along.

Oct 13, 2011, 6:38 PM

...that the guy is STILL making excuses for not winning?

"If I had Sammy Watkins... If I didn't have to face so and so..."

For most of his tenure, I wasn't a fan of Tommy Bowden as a coach. He's been very classy since he's left, though. I just can't believe some of the things that come out of the guy's mouth.

Sound a bit defensive there TB


Oct 13, 2011, 4:42 PM

Don't say we're doing good because we happen to not be going up against tough opponents. We've had talent on this team as well. I like you TB, but don't try to trivialize what the team has done. They've come together as a team with a winning attitude which results in wins. Pure and simple.

Ain't this a gem:


Oct 13, 2011, 4:43 PM

You're a Harris Poll voter this year. What does the top of your ballot look like this week?

"LSU, Alabama,... LSU is just a little bit stronger defensively than Alabama. So with Alabama having a better offense, LSU with a better defense, you win championships with defense and who won last year? LSU won last year. So that's how I made my decision on that." (Note: Actually, Alabama ranks ahead of LSU in scoring defense, total defense, rushing defense, passing defense and pass efficiency defense.)

And he get's paid to be a part of the media?

I sense some jealousy from Bowden. Dabo is doing something he couldn't. For one was firing two OC's. Two is winning.

Best quote in the article, "I'm using words that I don't even know if they're words. I used 'physicality' the other day for the first time. Don't know what it means."

Yes, we know you don't know what it means....we had to find out for too many years that you don't know what it means.

Sounds like the comments Favre made about Aaron Rodgers. Talk about sour grapes. Classless comments from a classless individual.

DABO SAID


Oct 13, 2011, 8:19 PM

Unlike past with Tommy at end of a let down year DABO SAID HE WILL FIX IT. NOT THE TEAM (THEY KNOW WHAT HAD TO BE DONE TO FIX IT) BUT DABO SAID HE WOULD PERSONALLY FIX IT AND HE DID BY CLEANING UP IN AREAS THAT HAD TO BE CLEANED UP.
