Florida State’s Bobby Bowden is calling it quits. On Tuesday, the coach that has called FSU home for 37 years will make it official and call it a career.
Of course, the Florida State administration didn’t give Bowden much of a choice. According to reports, Bowden met with FSU’s president this afternoon and was given a choice: act as a ceremonial head coach in 2010 or retire. The coach took the right path, given the choices.
Prior to Bobby Bowden’s arrival to Florida State, Seminole football was a joke. Thanks to the pathetic coach-in-waiting concept brought on by the FSU administration three years ago when it appointed Jimbo Fisher heir-apparent, Bowden is leaving with the FSU football pretty much a pathetic joke. When Fisher was crowned future king, Bowden’s fate was sealed, recruiting suffered and the rest is history.
What should have happened is this: Bowden should have been given one more year and able to leave on his terms, but that isn’t happening.
