well, well, well...

Bowden "resigns" today and gets out of town before the lynch mob can get to him. Cant say i wouldnt have taken the money and bowed out too. Imagine what it must have been like...everywhere you go you know that everyone is talking about you, and most people are talking bad about you, when you were trying your hardest to give these same people what they want... imagine knowing that your wife and kids have to hear people curse your name all the time. Yeah.. I know he was (and will be) well paid for it. But imagine the ENORMOUS pressure he was under. And wow...What kinda person must Harper actually be, the way he piled on after the fact with his statements...kinda ironic when it was Bowden who stuck by him over the past year of ineffective performances when everyone else was screaming to replace him. An NFL scout was quoted today as stating that Harper dropped from a potential second round pick to 6th round at best with his statements... At any rate, the "resignation" will set up the AD to make the best choice possible and give plenty of time to search and be contacted about the job. They better not mess this up. He made a good hire in Purnell and he will need to to make a similar hire again or else the out of whack expectations will have the fans complaining again in what?...3 or 4 years?.... I sometimes wonder if this is as much a move to buy 5 years of giving from IPTAY and keep the focus away from the AD and the President. There are plenty of discussions out there about who they will hire. And Swinney may actually be the best fit for now. But I just wonder if we will be right back here before the London Olympics... I think we"ll see more energy overall, and it will be a positive move. But unless we are going to import a bucket of better offensive linemen Gatech will give them a problem, FlaState will present a problem, Boston College will present them a problem and South Carolina will present them a problem. Maybe the Korn factor will allow a different type of playcalling mentality, which I think is what Bowden had decided. Once again, how ironic Harper spouted off like a punk 6th grader who had his Nintendo DS taken, when it was his ass Bowden and Spence kept tryin to call plays for to make him succeed over and over again. I hope Korn shows the abilities he showed in high school and we never see Harper again. But if we do, I hope Harper keeps his mouth shut and plays hard. And I hope i can finally go to a game and not have to hear nothing but negativity from the so-called Clemson Family.
