Legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden and his family announced on Wednesday that the 91-year old has been diagnosed with a terminal health condition, the Tallahassee Democrat first reported. "I've always tried to serve God's purpose for my life, on and off the field, and I am prepared for what is to come," Bowden said via a statement. "My wife Ann and our family have been life's great blessing. I am at peace." The family has asked for privacy as Bowden deals with his health. |
One thing I'll say, is Bobby is a great man of faith, and I have no doubt his soul is at peace.
No, Alabama finished ranked 8th just a few years ago.
Well, Bowden has said he was an early candidate for the Marshall job that went to Rick Tolley, the head coach off the team at the time of the plane crash.
He also recruited my father out of HS personally which is one of my Dad's favorite stories.
That said, if it gives the football community a reason to celebrate Coach Bowden one last time while he's here, there's at least a bright side to be had. As far as college football coaches go, you can't find more than a few ever that were better than Bobby.
