Yes just what we need, a liar, cheat, play around on you wife that is much better than someone who motivates (although a little too much)  OOPs I am correcting myself, that was his brother not Tommy.

Skip would be a good hire but I don't think he wants to come from what I read.

Terry was younger back then, people learn from there mistakes.  I am sure the interview will go over his past.

tommy bowden is essentially the same HC as Jim Leavitt.

never a season with more than 9 wins, never a major bowl game, never able to win a middle of the road conference

True but you have to take into consideration that he was an SEC coach... in the Big East he could really crack some skulls. Out of the two brothers Terry is better of a coach and has won a National Title.

Thats why I really don't want Tommy.

Terry went undefeated with Auburn one year. He is the best choice if going for a Bowden.

If you are referring about Tommy then he was an ACC coach not an SEC coach.

I meant to type ACC... he was a coach when FSU was a killer program... NCSU and Ga Tech were also very good during his reign and then Miami came in...

Still Terry is better than Tommy.

I recall reading somewhere that Tommy was enjoying not coaching,  while collecting a big check from Clemson.  He will have to give that up if he comes to us.  I'll see if I can find that article
