Tommy Bowden calls Saban and asks for advice

I suck and couldn't get my players up for a big game.

My Thunder and Lightning was basically turned into special eds.

I allowed your lines to own me all through the game and didn't bother to make halftime adjustments.

Plz help me

Heh, I read about that yesterday. It's pretty standard for coaches to talk with each other both during the season and off-season and give advice/share ideas. Heck, many attend seminars held by other coaches. BUT, to openly admit you called Saban the day after getting your butt handed to you isn't going to sit well with your fanbase. Clemson is going to have to win the ACC this year in order for Bowden to keep his job at this point.

people already want to take the rock away from him, since frank howard said don't rub the rock unless you are going to give 110% AND NOW he calls beamer richt saban and daddy? GTFO. what a pansy.

even if we win the ACC, it's not a big deal since the ACC is horrible (ACC = special olympics). he should still be fired. we'll win the ACC and go to the orange bowl and get whipped even worse.

and furthermore he's getting paid 2.5 million a year to call up and get advice? WTF? AHH I HATE HIM.

Saban told him to badmouth the players, boast about his own credentials, then insist you're committed to this program for years to come 3 days before you sign a contract with another school to coach there.

fsu will win the acc atlantic and miami will win coastal. clemson has no chance over the florida teams. but yeah acc sucks anyways.

That must have been a pride swallowing conversation.
