If Spurrier or any other legendary coach


Apr 1, 2018, 3:56 PM

Had coached at Clemson and had never won any kind of championship (other than beating the state rival 5 years in a row ) and had quit on the team and university at mid season in his final year would he be welcomed back with open arms any time he chose to visit?

So this was the advertisement...

Immediately following your post.

Guess that answers that.

Tommy Bowden went 7-2 vs coots & quit in the middle of his last season. He hasn’t been back nor hailed as anything other than the originator of The West Endzone project or the mediocre coach he was. There’s your answer

Tommy was allowed to resign under pressure. Spurrier just quit. There is a difference.

Resigning under pressure=quitting. No difference

If they're gonna fire you unless you resign, that's different from walking out on the job because things aren't going the way you want them to and you don't even care all that much about it anymore..

He was told there needed to be a turn around or he’d likely be fired at season’s end. Instead of manning up & making an effort he quit. Not sure why anybody would defend a quitter but to each his own. Bottom line is he QUIT mid-season. He QUIT on his team & coaching staff & left them to finish the season without him. The very same as Spurrier, Bowden QUIT.

Fair enough, but let's be glad he did what he did.. otherwise, who knows? We might not have Dabo, DW4 and a 2nd "natty" under our belts. Thanks, Tommy!

It amazes me that Bowden had the same amount of wins (7) against Carolina as Danny did and he accomplished it in less games.

Didn't they even name their new indoor facility after


Apr 1, 2018, 5:38 PM

Spurrier? Sad.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

At least Pell won a conference championship


Apr 1, 2018, 6:03 PM

And we still had “Go To H3ll Pell” bumper stickers.
Coots are like the sad little guy that still loves the half pretty girl that dumped him. You ALMOST feel bad for them.

Oh, they'll always welcome him back publicly. Despite the way he screwed their program at the end, he's still the GOAT there. Judging from the Coot boards, there's a good deal of resentment toward Spurrier among their fans.. but they wouldn't dare say any of that to his face.

What was a huge success at USUC won’t fly at Clemson.


Apr 1, 2018, 10:49 PM

The coach that Spurrier made fun of is now on equal footing and about to leave him in the dust !
