RARELY will you find a coach like Bowden who will go out on a limb for his assistants.
IMO, he never really entertained the idea of heading to Arky. His assistants were loyal to him when they had other offers, and he is trying to reward them for that.
We are in a college football world of multi-million dollar salaries and coaches downgrading other coaches and jumping ship.
Tommy has made Clemson solid, and brought character and respect to this program.
In my mind, this is another example of his character and loyalty, not only to his assistants, but ultimately to Clemson.
He will retire here.

it would be good to hear from him that he loves Clemson, couldn't leave, and expects great things from the fine young men that play for him.

Labeling people haters isn't very convincing. Try reasoning.
Dec 4, 2007, 11:32 PM

I don't hate Bowden. But I'm dissatisfied with NINE years of no ACC title because I love Clemson. I think I'm entitled to that opinion, it's quite reasonable, and I'm not alone. Why do you label us haters because we think we can hire a better coach? I can only assume it's because you can't make an intelligent argument to back up your opinion, since there's NINE years of data working against you.

conference is an opportunity to make clear why he is staying. Hopefully it is because he and his staff love Clemson and believe the future is very bright, and more money couldn't pull them away.
As a fan, I would love to hear that.

that is the craziest statement I have seen yet on here. We need to, TDP needs to, the administration needs to apologize to Tommy for not showing him the support he deserves. The man has done NOTHING but help prosper Clemson University in the last several years. Most of the people on here that make the most noise give the least to IPTAY and Clemson University. Keep giving your hundred bucks and sitting in your corner of the endzone seat, but please refrain from your negative speak. Tommy Bowden is a winner, he is a character guy, and he will lead us to where we ALL want to go.

I support Coach Bowden... glad he is staying.
Like it or not, there is a rift in the fan base, and some fans don't like the fact that he considered the Arkansas job (which is ridiculous, but that is another subject)
My point was that the press conference is important.
It is an opportunity for Bowden to finally convince some people that he truly loves Clemson.

Bravo! I applaud your honesty and admitting it here for certain others to learn or at least think something positive from it. Hopefully.
Let's face it. All the negativity needs to stop now that we all know he is here to stay for some time to come - at least for another year. And next year may very well be the year of Clemson Tigers! We all, the supporters and the so-called "haters", need to pull it together and join the force in backing our proud football program, CTB and his staff and of course our hard working, fully committed players with 100% SOLID ORANGE support. No questions asked?at least, not until the next season is over, if valid questions do arise by then.
All Fans United. Our Pride deserves it.
GO TIGERS!

In my opinion, which I know some won't agree with, but Tommy should NOT be offered an extension. This whole Arkansas thing was probably just so he could get offered even more money then we upped it just the other week. Yeah we had a 9-3 season, but look at our schedule. With teams such Furman and Central Michigan, we better have ATLEAST a 9-3 season. But we couldn't beat the good teams. We've lost BC 3 years in a row. We couldn't beat Virginia Tech or GA Tech. And did you watch the same bowl game I saw last year? We totally embarassed ourselves and looked like we didn't even care. There is no reason we shouldn't be undefeated with the talented players we have. If we had a harder schedule, we probably wouldn't have qualify for a bowl game. Unfortunately the record is misleading. I love our Tigers and I support our players, but Tommy is not worth what we are paying him and hasn't done much in the 9 years he's been here and he's just living off his last name. he has done a great job keeping our rep clean though, I do give him that. That's just my opinion, I'm not trying to make anyone mad.

Dec 4, 2007, 3:09 PM

Even though Auburn is 8-4 this year there still a #### good team... i mean look at LSU 2 losses and playing in the NCG!!! I think if we played more superior teams that it would make us better but you have to understand even when you are considered one of the best teams in the nation this year .. you atleast have one or two losses to teams you should have beaten!!! THINK ABOUT IT.... APP AT OVER MICHIGAN, ILL OVER OHIO STATE, KENTUCKY AND ARK OVER LSU??? its not like other teams didnt see this 1st hand this year!!!!
