You heard it here first....

I have no sources, or people "in the know". But, this thought just popped in my mind, and I thought that I would share. And, yes, you heard it here first. Kyle Young will be named Athletic Director when they announce the hiring...whenever that is. I just feel there are too many reasons for us to hire him that I couldn't name them all. Is anyone with me, or am I way off track here?
I'm not joking, but we all said Tommy Bowden would be a very good AD. Is there any chance that we have had talks with him? I mean we're still paying the guy...we should get some work out of him. LOL

Kyle may or may not be ready. I've heard varying opinions. I always figured he would get a shot. May be a bit soon for him though

Why would we consider Bowden? He would have his hands
deep into our FB program.A good recruiter but an average
coach.Good riddance to him.

He was great for the program. Not sure how you missed

the facilities/recruiting/prominence improvements, but they were vast. We were certainly an inconsistent team on the field, but he was a good big picture guy.

I agree w/ everything you said , plus his last name brought extra interest in our football team. Not only did he leave on less than desirable terms, his feelings as well, not just the administrations... the one gripe I had against him is publically throwing players under the bus, ala Jad Dean, Javis Austin, ect... but I actually think he might be a good AD @ some university, he's a very bright guy.

Not a chance on TB and they'll look for someone w/ ALOT

more experience than Kyle Young. D'Andrea would get the nod before KY if we went internally, but we'll do a nationwide search

I don't and won't ever have a vote. But if I did, Tommy Bowden would get a very loud NO from me.

thanks for all the feedback from you sensible clemson fans. i have been on t-net for a long time, and it seems that it is at an all-time high for jerk-offs that like to respond with absolute garbage just to get their post count up...or just to be a ####. but its cool theyre just doing their jobs. i felt kyle young was being groomed for the position. but d'andrea is still there. i forgot. out here in montana and it gets hard to keep up with everything clemson. i was half joking about TB. just saying we still have over a year to still pay him and he did alot for the stadium and player upgrades...the indoor facility is bc of TB. say what you will but he would do a great job. i just dont like the idea of bringing in a non-clemson guy. any names surface yet?

I SO hope you're wrong about Young. And no way should Bowden ever be allowed back on campus. What did he ever do that would make anyone believe he'd be a good AD?

Wrong...wrong..wrong...all over wrong. The hire is much much close to being in the bag and it is NOT Young or anyone associated with Clemson...BUT A #### GOOD ONE...upgrade big time...this is a BOT move and not a Barker move...

I heard Philpott say that he has heard rumors that they may go in that direction.

Interesting thoughts, CT4L....When this was first discussed
Oct 5, 2012, 6:50 AM

upon news of TDP's retirement, my thinking was that Clemson should now be in a position to search nationally for someone of national prominence with a stellar and impeccable record. He/she could possibly be someone within the business community with enough chutzpah and sports' savvy to become a commanding presence nationally, which I believe would further our goal of making Clemson more prominent.

D'Andrea getting the nod would be absurd. Completely, totally absurd. He's Joe Biden without the good points.
