Coach Tommy Bowden may have left Clemson but his relationship with the Lord will sustain him. It is apparent Coach Bowden has found calm after the "storm". Also, good to hear that interim Coach Swinney is following in Coach Bowden's footsteps by praying with the team. The fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) and our joy is not worth sacrificing for wins or the approval of men (Gal 1:10).

Tommy Bowden getting some peace October 18, 2008 5:52 PM

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Behind the closed doors of the locker room following Clemson's 21-17 loss to Georgia Tech, interim head coach Dabo Swinney said a prayer that included blessings for Tommy Bowden, former offensive coordinator Rob Spence, and their families. Bowden, though, finally seems to be getting some peace.
He sent a text message to defensive coordinator Vic Koenning late this week, very similar to one he sent in the spring while Koenning was out recruiting and he was at the beach:"Just as I suspected. Fall tides are the same as spring tides. Eleven waves per minute at the shore."
Koenning smiled as he told this story. He said his friend is fine, and left before it could get any worse."Nobody likes to get beat up," Koenning said. "He got to get out before they threw stones on him. They threw enough.""
