Bowden Back?! Yes...But Not That One

Tommy Bowden hasn't coached since leaving Clemson during the 2008 season.

"If the right job opened, I would listen," Bowden told Rivals.com.

Bowden has been out of coaching since leaving the Clemsonpost after six games in the 2008 season, living in the Florida Panhandle.

"I have had some phone calls and interest," said Bowden, who went 72-45 at Clemson from 1999-2008. "But I'm not going to take a job to take it and then regret it a few months into it. I want to make sure I can succeed."

Bowden's name has come up in the Vanderbilt coaching search. His name presumably would help in recruiting, and Bowden has success coaching at Tulane (18-4 record from 1997-98).
