Bowden informed his assistant coaches of his firing this morning. Assistant head coach/wide receivers coach Dabo Swinney has been named the team's interim coach for the final six regular season games and potential bowl game.
The Tigers were ranked No. 9 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll and were favored to win their first ACC championship in Bowden's 10th season as coach. But Alabama blasted the Tigers 34-10 in the Aug. 30 opener in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, and Clemson then lost to Maryland 20-17 at home and again to Wake Forest 12-7 to drop their record to 1-2 in ACC play.
Bowden received a lucrative contract extension from Clemson after the 2007 season. He received the extension after considering a potential coaching position at Arkansas.
Bowden, the son of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, has a 72-45 record and eight bowl appearances at Clemson.

Guess they want to get a jump on the never ending "Coaching Carosel" job market before others join in…….

Jeez, everybody's getting fired today. The Troy coordinator and now Bowden.
I mean come on, he got fired because they dropped to 1-2, 3-3? That sounds to me like boosters threatened to pull out if he wasn't fired.

Even if Howard retired and Bowden was available we don't even have close to enough money to make him happy. We can't afford to pay any coach millions right now
LOL it was more of a hypethetical
