Tommy Bowden...

Why not? I admittedly have a Clemson lean due to friends, but this one might make sense...

- Was successful in a major college job
- Very good recruiter
- Ran a very clean program at a notoriously dirty school
- Name recognition

Ummm no

The Bowdens NEED to start over at a small industrial Midwest city; that's a NCAA rule.

Mention the Bowden name to a 17 yr old high school kid. You'll get a blank stare. C'mon. Didn't we just fire 'name recognition from the NFL' ??

Ultimately failed as a head coach.

A good place to start in the search is the bottom of that chart, look for guys making $2 million or less not in a P5 conference and work up.

...maybe to a bunch of Clemson wahoos.

He was 72-45 at Clemson. We could do a hell of a lot worse.

Wasn't that the argument in favor of hiring a guy who's record was 107–59–1 just a few years back?

I really hope the most positive comment we have on the new hire isn't "we can do a hell of a lot worse".
