Special Orange text edition!
In a development that literally everyone saw coming, Clemson fired their coach Tommy Bowden today.
This isn't surprising. I didn't note this one in the Saturday in Review because I was too focused on Tennessee's and Auburn's coaches. They're gonna get fired too, but I digress.
This isn't surprising, however, because one does not generally go from being a Top 10 team to being a 3 loss team in 6 games. I actually feel bad for Bowden, and I think he'll make a good coach at some point in the future at some other school. Unlike Clemson, however, these other schools won't have a fan base that threatens to kill him when he loses.
Seriously, the man lived with his job on the line for years. It was inevitable that he was going to get fired ignominiously, and by a school that didn't really like him and a fan base that hated him.
Well, good luck Tigers. You're gonna need it against an ACC that isn't good, but has teams that are smart enough not to fire their coaches in the middle of the season.
It's gotten bad enough that I hope Clemson loses to Spurrier-led South Carolina. That, friends, is sad.
