    Shocking only in that he should have been fired 2 years ago.

    EDSBS always has a unique prospective!

    I wonder how they'll feel when the Vols can Fulmer and hire Steve Spurrier!! :)

    I would not turn Spurrier down but I would rather have a younger guy take the helm.

    It's good to know that none of the teams problems were Harper's fault isn't it?

    PJ,

    I don't think I've ever heard the kid say he didn't make mistakes.

    We're talking about the man in charge chucking kids under the bus to further his own career.

    I have loathed all of the Bowden's and Tubberville for more than a decade now. I long for a college football world without them... We're almost there.

    How about this for a wild rumour. Rodriguez hasn't signed his contract with Michigan and they could go 2-10 this year (it's possible). Rodriguez bolts after 1 season at UM for the friendly confines of Clemson? Could happen!! :wink:

    I read an article in Sporting News where the writer is suggesting that they look at Lane Kiffin, Bill Cowher, the Vanderbilt coach (Bobby Johnson, a Clemson alum), Tuberville, and the TX D-coordinator. (Muschamp?).

    I do wonder when or if Bill Cowher will return to football. I think though he would more likely go back to the NFL.

    As far as Tubberville, I don't know why anybody would hire that poser. Will Muschamp the DCoord at Texas is an interesting guy, he's young and dynamic for sure. No experience as a HC of course, but that didn't hurt Bob Stoops. The previous DCoord at Texas (also a young dynamic former Auburn DCoord) took the Iowa State job where he'll likely see his career as a HC be very short and painful. But the Clemson job is a very good job and a guy can win at Clemson.

    I see Cowher at NCState....he is an alum, lives now in Raleigh and has a nice beach crib just around the corner from me. The fallout at State from Butch Davis success in Chapel Hill is going to create a groundswell to draft Cowher. Once his daughters leave home, I think the last one will graduate in a year or so, look for Bill to want to be the head coach at his alma mater. You heard it here first.....
