BUT HE HAS PEOPLE SKILLS
Q: So, what is it you do here?
A: I...I talk to the coaches, and make sure they get along with the recruits. I talk to the boosters. I ride in a cart and sometimes I put on a headset.
Q: Yes, but...what skills do you have?
A: I'm good at dealing with--
Q: Listen, Bobby. I'll ask one more time. What would ya say ya do here?

A: Well-well, I deal with the goddamned boosters so the coaches don't have to! I talk! To people! I have people skills! What is wrong with you people!
Q: What do you say we just go year-to-year with this from now on, okay?
A: (Sighs) That...that sounds fine to me, I guess.

That’s how I imagine his contract negotiations have been the past 10 years.

When asked what he’d do with one more year at the helm, Bowden replied, "I’ll tell what I’d do…..
Two chicks at the same time….. "

This is how I see next year’s reveiw going…
So Bowden has finally been let go?
Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won’t be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it’ll just work itself out naturally.
We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible.

His new contract says he doesn’t roll on Shabbos, so he’ll just be taking Saturdays off, just like he has been since the 90’s.

The NCAA will pass a law, very similar to the “Elderly Driving Law”-where you have to pass your drivers exam once you get past a certain age.
Coaches will be required to pass the NCAA Recruiting Certification yearly, once they get to be 70. It cannot be read to them. They must know at least 50% of their team by name and number. They must know the years they won a MNC. Must be able to list in order how many athletes were drafted in the first round, for the past 5 years. Physical requirements must be met, and they must jog one lap around the field in under 5 mins(riding a golf cart or Little Rascal does not count), Must be able to remember at least TWO 5 star recruits names they have visited in the home in the past 3 months. Must be able to do a 5 minute interview with Erin Andrews without passing away. Must be able to name Assistant Coaches by name and face. Must be able to call at least one offensive series per game,after the first quarter. Mandatory retirement if you have a grandchild on your staff.

Pretty soon, they’ll be trying to figure out a way to decrease the size of Doak Campbell. Like Harvard football, once a national program, now a shell of its former self , playing in front of tens of thousands of concrete fans. They’ll be lucky to average 50,000 next season.
But Bobby’s boy Darnell Dockett and his knee-wrecking ways are in the Super Bowl, so you have thta going for you Nole fans.
Weekend at Bobby’s forever . . .

It’s not like things are going to get better when he leaves. I mean we’re talking about a guy named Jimbo for cryin’ out loud.

@5 Bobby’s rolling with the Mike Price Love Trainer now, so he’s hittin’ it more regularly.

Dear FSU Fan(s):
You’re going to have an 80 year-old head football coach next season.
That is all.
Sincerely,
One Glad Gator

The college football traditionalist in me wants Bobby to be found dead in a Panama City hotel room with evidence of booze, drugs and young boys, leading to F$U’s total disgrace and downfall and for JoePa to get the record for all time wins.
The Gator in me wants him to coach for the next 50 years.
Either way, I think I’d be pretty happy.

Whats next? The Robert Cleckler Bowden Living Museum?
Tour guides pass thru the Athletic Offices and point “This here is Bobby Bowden, living legend. Please do not make eye contact or he will talk our ears off and we will never get out of here within 4 hrs…no smoking, please…”
Tourist: “Is he real? He looks kinda fake, kinda waxy.”
Tour guide,er, Tommy Bowden: “Yes, I assure you he is 100% real.”
Tourist: “I thought he passed away 10 yrs ago.”
Tommy:“You cant kill evil, son. I KNOW!”

The thing is, guys, it’s not that I’m senile, it’s that I just don’t care.
Not… not senile?
It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Who cares if I act like an old rambling fool and don’t win that 10th or 11th game, I’m not going to be fired, I’m am the institution; so where’s the motivation?
