If OK St had a slightly better D, they would've dry humped OU TCU was up and down as hell outside of the SEC, these are pretty desirable #2 and 3 teams

@No Sleep I always knew I like Muschamp :tusaban:

I think it all goes in cycles,” Muschamp explained. “There was a time when Florida and Tennessee were really battling every year for the SEC Championship and the national championship. It has swung to the West side.
But I think more than anything, it’s not the West, it’s Alabama. Alabama has been dominant. That’s what I would look at and point to.”

he know whats up:bamaw:

 

[Woodwerkz]

I don't think so because so much would have to fall into place for it to happen, several lightning strikes. Reading @Woodwerkz post about Dabo is a great example. When he was hired the landscape was different. He got enough time to make his imprint even though there were changes in leadership in the administration. Then when it came time to cut the checks the administration opened up the wallet. I feel like the right up and coming coach along with an administration willing to pay up (salaries, facilities, recruiting budget) and that has the resources is a rubix cube.

The crazy thing is... Clemson, at this time, really couldn't afford to pay for anyone else because Bowden finessed AD Terry Don Phillips by entertaining Arkansas trying to lure him away to get an extension. They put names like Gary Patterson & Chris Peterson on the short list and those were who the fans wanted but I knew they were going to ride with Dabo to save money.

I had a flash back to when Tommy Bowden was let go and I had forgotten how bad he lost the team.

Except from QB Cullen Harper and his dad Jeff who played at UGA.

Harper, who was benched after the Tigers' loss to Wake Forest and replaced by highly regarded sophomore Willy Korn, said the program needed to cut ties with Bowden.

"It's what he deserved," Harper said. "Dabo Swinney is a fine man and will do an excellent job."

Later Monday, Harper expanded on his comments, explaining that Bowden "tried to motivate us, but guys were off the bandwagon. There were things I disagreed with and that my teammates disagreed with. I didn't appreciate it when he would say some off-the-wall things about me to the media. I guess one thing I can say is he gave me an opportunity to come to Clemson and play."


Harper struggled playing behind an inexperienced offensive line this season. His father, Jeff Harper, an offensive lineman on Georgia's 1980 national championship team, said Bowden's dismissal was justified.

"I'd call it karma," he said. "I thought it needed to be done. I think anytime a head coach or someone in a leadership position starts to place blame on his coaches and players, it weakens their respect on the team. His past experiences have shown he's done that."

Now read this pivot that CJ did mid interview :

C.J. Spiller had mixed emotions in seeing the program move away from Bowden.

"I'm shocked. We are 3-3 because we didn't make enough big offensive plays," Spiller said. "I'm shocked by our record, and now I'm shocked that our coach is gone.

"I enjoyed playing for coach Bowden and I liked him, but in the end he was yelling at us to be leaders and it wasn't working. He did all he could to motivate us, but guys weren't buying into what he was saying. And he said a lot of the same things over and over again.

"He let the offensive coordinator [Spence] run the show, and we got away from me and James [Davis]. I think part of the problem was when he benched Cullen. Some people wanted the offensive coordinator fired; [Bowden benched] the quarterback and then he got fired."

Bowden out at Clemson after disappointing start

Truth be told. Terry was the only Bowden that was the only good coach out the Bobby tree.
