That's because Jimbo was named HCIW (back when the NCAA allowed those titles.) Always easier to jettison the old coach when his replacement is already there and recruiting for the last several years.Quote:
Ms Hawg...now come-on....I despise FSU, but Bobby needed to be run off. Heck, if I was King of FSU he would have been booted about 2 years earlier. FSU owed him nothing as he was paid fair market value for all of his efforts except for the last few years. During those last few years he was pulling in $4 million or so and delivering $400k results. Bobby waaaaay over-stayed his time at FSU.
Was Bowden past his prime? Certainly. And yes, it was time for his farewell tour. Doesn't make Tallahassee any more attractive or the fan base less demanding.
