    Les needs to call Dabo Sweeney asap -- one of the best recruiters in the country.


    Edit: Never mind, looks like he is the interim head coach.

    The Clemson Jet is in route to Tuscaloosa as we speak. My cousin's friend works on the ground out there and said there were two guys with 8x10's of Saban in their hands as they boarded the plane.

    ESPN in all over it:


    Clemson fired football coach Tommy Bowden on Monday, four days after the Tigers lost to Wake Forest and fell to 3-3, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.

    Bowden informed his assistant coaches of his firing this morning. Assistant head coach/wide receivers coach Dabo Swinney has been named the team's interim coach for the final six regular season games and potential bowl game.

    Potential bowl game, eh. I like the optimism. Where does Bowden go from here? Dadddy's given the keys to Jimbo.

    Bowden goes nowhere from here. He has made Clemson the biggest underachieving school this year and one of the biggest ever during his tenure. Clemson has a lot of potential but it was never realized under Bowden. He normally did just enough to satisfy his bosses and the fans but never produced like he should have.

    This is not surprising in the least especially considering what that team was capable of this year and the results so far.
