I'm a little disappointed that FSU already had a coach in waiting. If this job were open, I think it would be one of the most sought after jobs we have seen in a while.
The big program coaching searches intrigue me. All of the rumors and candidates denying interest right up until they accept the job.
I don't mean this as a criticism but every time someone mentions Bobby Bowden I have to chuckle thinking of how he handled off the field problems with his players. It just demonstrates how much different college football is the south.
I remember one particular time after one of his players was caught doing something bad. Instead of suspending, benching or kicking the player off the team Bobby simply said to the press, "now the important thing here is that he knows what he done was wrong." LOL.
