Let’s hope Terry Bowden has some orange left over from his days at Auburn.

He might need it.

Bowden has joined Dabo Swinney’s staff at Clemson as a graduate assistant.

TigerNet was the first to report the news, and AL.com confirmed the report Monday morning.

Bowden didn’t immediately return a call placed to him.

At 63 years old, Bowden, per the Charlotte Observer, is pursuing a Master’s Degree in athletic leadership at Clemson. The position is an unpaid graduate internship.

According to TigerNet, Bowden observed Clemson’s spring practice recently.

The news comes after Bowden was fired at Akron following a 4-8 season. He went 35-52 with the Zips, recording just one winning record in seven seasons (8-5 in 2015).

Bowden, of course, is best known for his time at Auburn. On the Plains, Bowden went 47-17-1 from 1993 until 1998. Wracked by NCAA sanctions resulting from Pat Dye’s tenure, Bowden’s first Auburn team went 11-0. The Tigers won their first nine games in 1994 before tying Georgia and then losing to Alabama to finish 9-1-1, and also went 10-3 and won the SEC West title in 1997.

The Bowden name is well-known in the ACC. Of course, Terry’s father, Bobby Bowden, was the head coach at Florida State from 1976-2009, while Terry’s brother, Tommy, was the head coach at Clemson from 1999 to 2008.

In addition to his time at Auburn, Terry Bowden was previously the head coach at Salem University (1983–1985), Samford University (1987–1992), and the University of North Alabama (2009–2011).
