Good stuff, alot of bullshit, but good to have something to talk about...

Start out with Bowden. Going to Arkansas? Very silly indeed. Oh sure him and TDP certainly set up a phone call, smart. Evidently TDP really wants to keep him afterall. He had 3 years left on his contract and to think he was going to pick up and meet up with his old fired DC (Herring) in the SEC none the less, wasn't going to happen. But he got his contract extended so he did the right thing for himself. The whole thing was laughable at best. Think Arkansas hasn't known since they let Nutt go who they were getting in Petrino?

Now for the Bud Foster show. This is just like the Spurrier Alabama thing. What do I think about it? Its a big old bag of Smelly crap. Bud foster is not leaving Beamer to go be a DC at another college team, period. If he does hes stupid (and hes not stupid). When this guy leaves it will be to be a head coach or for the NFL. Not at the promise of being head coach one day (see Skip Holtz) but as the head coach as he most certainly deserves. If he did call Spurrier, what a smart move! How big do you think his new contract at Va Tech will be now? If anyone said we promise you a head coaching job one day, he is certainly smart enough to say great, call me when you have the opening. After all, Spurrier is saying he is going to be around for a while and I certainly think he would like to see his own son take over, just my opinion.

John Tenuta is a possibility though. Johnson is bringing in his own staff and his DC was from NC State and kept a top ten defense while there. So he may not keep him. I think he probably will keep Tenuta, but it could go either way.

Yes in a Paul Johnson offense and most good offenses these days recievers have to be able to block. If he can't block he will end up running the ball in the option if he stayed.

Now last and least of all. Courtney Vincent. I don't see how he could be suspended for the Bowl game. Its most coaches policy not to take disciplinary action while a case is still pending. A very weak case in fact. Most believe he is certainly not going to get convicted. He passed the field sobriety test and it should have been over at that point. Then they decided to take him in and give him a breathalizer. Evidently he refused. Sorry, this is probably not going to hold up in court because they had no right to take him in after he passed the field sobriety test. Just like anything else we don't know the whole story. However Bowden is perfectly justified in not suspending him until he actually gets convicted. If he does no problem, he will certainly be punished for it next season.

No controversy there in my opinion, just people looking for one. One things for certain not too many head coaches or other fan bases should be criticizing Bowden on how he disciplines his team. I am quite certain he near the top for BCS head coaches as far as not having disciplinary problems. I believe last years bowl game was the last time he had a problem and it wasn't much to write home about. Just my opinion though.
