Bowden, who embarked on a nationwide tour Tuesday to promote his new book, "Called to Coach: Reflections on Life, Faith and Football," told The Associated Press he also doesn't want Florida State, where he was the head coach for 34 years, to "spread the story that I voluntarily, happily resigned."

I hope he can come to accept it was his time and T.K. was right so he can enjoy the happy retirement that he has earned.
GO OWLS!

You cant win every year in college football where most of the time you are forced to recruit kids that are not educated enough to be in college in the first place and the turnover is 4 years at most. You are guaranteed to have some down years…unless you cheat or run a program where half the kids go to jail.
And if you are thinking Bowden is done and cant coach anymore…can you imagine if you heard he went to FIU tommorow? Personally, I'd have a heart attack.
As a side, I grew up hating FSU so this isn't a homer pick…just know that certian people in the game should ALWAYS be respected.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

If we had a booster presence here, it might be the same; but it still would not be right.

One of the greatest football coaches of all time. Its sad when a program and its fans forget that college football is cyclical and ends up treating a coaching legend poorly.
