Bowden to stay at Clemson

Show me the money!! Like everyone knew he wasn’t going to leave just using the talks as leverage. The Clemson Board of Trustees were called into an emergency personnel meeting this morning to approve a new contract for Bowden and possible extensions for him and his assistants. Soon after Clemson Athletic Director Dr. Terry Don Phillips announced that Head Football Coach Tommy Bowden has agreed to a contract extension.

According to The News of Northwest Arkansas, Bowden’s total package at Arkansas would have been about $2.5 million or so annually, including money that he could have used to pay off a $2.5 million buyout at Clemson…but Tommy said no. Bowden has informed Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long of his intention so no more speculation.
