1. 5-1 against USC. 2. 25-7 versus the two Carolinas. 3. 11-2 at home, last 2 years. 4. Second best league record in the ACC since he arrived at Clemson. We can do better, but only FSU has won more league games than the Tigers over Tommy's tenure. 5. Bowl eligible six straight years. No one else did this at Clemson. 6. I can't recall a time when more of our athletes graduated than under Bowden. We regularly have multiple graduate students playing for us! That never happened before. 7. Three wins over top ten programs in 13 months. 8. Banner recruiting season under way. 9. Two of his kids will have graduated from Clemson. The man bleeds orange. 10. Outstanding personal character.
How can anyone NOT like the guy?
Bowden needs to win more games, of course. Everyone knows that. Coach Bowden sure knows it. He's doing a great job. He has my support.
(BTW, Bowden makes an average salary for a decent Div 1 program. Don't hold the pay scale against him.)
