Bowden pwnt

Why?

It sounds like he lost the confidence of the players:


"I enjoyed playing for coach Bowden and I liked him, but in the end he was yelling at us to be leaders and it wasn't working," running back C.J. Spiller told ESPN's Joe Schad. "He did all he could to motivate us, but guys weren't buying into what he was saying.

"He let the offensive coordinator [Rob Spence] run the show and we got away from me and James [Davis]," Spiller said. "I think part of the problem was when he benched Cullen. Some people wanted the offensive coordinator fired, he fired the quarterback and then he got fired."

I'm also pretty sure that he was expected to at least win the Atlantic division of the ACC and really a lot more than that since they started the season in the top 10.

No doubt, Clemson has been a huge underachiever for the amount of talent they've had on the roster the past few years. It was only a matter of time.
