BOWDEN: L'ETAT, C'EST LUI

I’m all for keeping Bowden at FSU. Who do I pay to keep him there for all time?

“Everything starts with your front four, unless you are a five man front, or unless you are a three man front.” – Bobby Bowden

The difference between the 2 old codgers in college football is that when his program went south (pardon the pun), JoePa got it back on track. Bowden is washed up and will never get to the record, but instead get shoved aside with a blemish on his legacy.

That diffeerence, and the fact Paterno did it all honestly…maybe there is something to that Karma thing….

Bobby should retire IMMEDIATELY. And FSU should promote the most experienced and able coach from his staff to replace him.

(HInt: He’s been known to wear red tennis shoes and white rimmed sunglasses.And make goofy faces, too)

FSU Coach Lou Holtz has a tanned and leathery ring to it…

In ref #2 above. Looks like st bobby is starting to channel Bill Peterson.

I spoke to a former FSU player about 10 years ago, when they were still good. At that time, he told me that Bowden was a figurehead and that the assistants did all the real work. When the guy in charge of offense was Mark Richt, that was great. But when Buford T. Justice promoted Junior to run the offense, it all went to hell in a handbasket, which is fine with me.

GO GATORS!

the longer that old bastard stays at FSU the better for us folks down the road in Gainesville. although he may suffer a heart attack after the beating tebow and spikes will put on him this year on senior day.

This is what happens when you have two head coaches. That never struck me as a bright idea. Not that I minded, being a Gator and all.

They were too worried about future recruiting classes. That’s the same thinking that led Florida to hire Zook.

Anyway, it makes for good fun if you’re not a Nole. Pass the popcorn!

Things I’d Like to See Dept:

I would love to see Bowden AND Dr. Lou Holtz work together on a regular basis in some sort of capacity in “broadcasting”. Give them their own pregame show and let it roll….

….this still makes me laugh:

Good ’ol Boys Dept:

….continuing with my Dr. Lou – Bowden dream team “broadcasting matchup”….

…they could do a regular bit with Bowden as Boss Hogg and Lou Holtz as Roscoe P. Coltrane (or Cletus)…the hilarity of it all….

IMO, the only changes will come after the season. I believe that FSU has a clause in Fisher’s contract that pays an obscene amount of money if he isn’t head coach after this year or next. Whatever that year is, Bobby be gone. If that isn’t this year, FSU is one Fulmer Cup infraction from his removal. Surveilance at north Florida Foot Lockers and Dillards are on high alert.

Re #11 — ABC already had Cletus (Terry B) on the payroll but fired him a couple of years ago.

Are we getting into “Keep Ray Goff” chant territory? Wouldn’t it be better if we kept that kind of thing to ourselves?

@10

What is wrong with the Bowdens? Why do they think other people think they are so interesting? Awful.

Re 14: “Bob-by Bow-den” is definitely replacing “U-F Re-jects” as the top chant for the student side in November.

Solution: Bobby takes a job with Terry at UNA as “co-head coach,” goes 30-0 over the next two seasons. Hey, if those Howard/Samford DIII wins count…

If only Bobby had Warren Dunn and what’s his name…that #17 boy at quatta-back. Then he’d be alright, yes suh.

He’s going to drag this shit out, and provide us all with a Downfall-esque ending to prove just how classy he really is.

Ann Bowden is Nancy Reagan at this point; Bobby is Ronnie pointlessly clearing brush in the distance, oblivious to it all. Jimbo Fisher is taking the role of Bush 41, Amato is Oliver North and Mickey Andrews is pretty clearly Cap Weinberger fighting the last war. Burt Reynolds is, well, Burt Reynolds.

“Gators for Goff” redux.

Bobby’s gonna stay at FSU until the echo of the whistle.

;)

This is the FSU fan’s theme song right about now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u3SsQXhmho

Time to switch to whiskey, indeed.

FSU ideal coach:

Knows how to rebuild programs.
Experience in the recruiting area.
Winning record vs UF/Meyer.

Tuberville?

Gus Malzahn would be a great fit at FSU.

- Bobby Bowden, 2006

I can’t wait to hear him top this one now that the vultures are after him instead of his son.

And also as a USF alum, I completely support EDSBS’s stance on Bowden and his thousand-year reign. I’m sure Jim Leavitt and his coaches are having a hard time containing their glee when it’s time to call the FSU leaners and soft commits.

#3, you’re delusional if you think there’s any honesty in Joe Paterno. The guy’s a lying, scumbag, son of a bitch, who employs false and literally racist recruiting tactics wherever he can.

OT, but…

Reason 1,287,572,012 why college football is better than the NFL: ESPN just did some analysis thing where they showed a Brett Favre running some play in 1996. They then showed a clip from last week, where he ran the exact same play. Jaworski’s comment, “Brett Favre KNOWS this offense.”

The Vikings are using a 13 (at least) year old offense, that evidently hasn’t changed a lick in that time. 13 years ago, the dominant offense in college football today, the spread, was a flicker in DickRod/Meyer’s eyes.

However, it was pretty funny when they ran all the clips of Brett mic’ed up…my fave…when he asked the official if they had any lefthanded footballs…and the guy said “Yes” and went to get one.

After he dies can they intern him in the Coaching Box like Lenin and leave him in charge of coaching.

Well, hell, Bubba. I think the comment about the library is unfair. JoPa never had one of his sons steal more than half a million dollars from him.

For me, and most of the Gator Nation, this is like watching a train wreck, not just any train wreck, but a train wreck of epic proportions like the one in John Frankenheimer’s film, “The Train” (with Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield), which won the Academy Award for special effects. In that film Burt Lancaster as a French resistance fighter engineers the derailment of a locomotive so that it sits astride the track. Then he runs a second locomotive into the derailed engine. Finally, after the initial horrendous collision, a third train came along and rear-ended the second train. For anyone who wants to watch this classic collision, here’s the link:

Anyway, I picture the FSU football program as the derailed train, St. Bobby as the second locomotive crashing into it, and Ann Bowden at the third train that hits Bobby in the rear. I think that by opening her mouth, she has exacerbated the situation, big time.

Schadenfreude, and I’m loving it!!

That clip was great, and even better when you imagine the suggested FSU logo, Bobby’s face, and Ann’s face on the respective trains.

Ref: #32:

In other words, its time for LSUFreek to work his voodoo magic.

Bobby Bowden will be dead within 5 years of giving up the head coaching job, and he knows it. I think he thinks if he keeps coaching he cant die.

@28, you haven’t been reading your Smart Football! The offense has its roots from long ago.

Serves him right for stealing the ’93 title from Dr. Tom…William Floyd fumbled!

still LMAO over this:“Surveilance at north Florida Foot Lockers and Dillards are on high alert.”

1. (I think your serious)
   I’d love to hear how JoePa is racist, I’m sure you have well-reasoned, first hand accounts.

Or is it because Penn State has a white linebacker starting?

It is being reported that FSU is in contract negotiations with Jimbo to give him full authority to hire/fire assistant coaches whether Bobby agrees to leave or not. If that’s true, then Jimbo will be sort of like the Prime Minister and Bobby will be Queen Elizabeth (without the purse).

INDEX, INDEX, INDEX, INDEX!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone suggested to me that the person F$U needs to hire is none other than Steve Superior.

That popping sound? that’s heads spinning around and exploding around Tallahassee.
