Amazing to hear about the peace he and his family had dealing with his final days. His Florida State teams were amazing and fun to watch. Because they were so good he kind of because easy to root against. But in the end, it’s hard to deny that he was one of the really good guys in college football.
One of the great ambassadors for the game, and more importantly a fine human being.
His brand of football was so refreshing when CFB at the time was almost regulated to student body left or right.

This is a great story about his life.

Former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden, 91, had incredible impact on game
Bobby Bowden, whose homespun charm and coaching savvy turned Florida State into a football superpower, died Sunday at age 91
God so bless his family and thank You for his life.
A man in the hypercompetitive world of college football who still remained a good guy and a clear difference in the lives of the players he coached, he will be missed.

I hated FSU but I loved Coach Bowden . He was one of the good guys . He will be greatly missed
I still remember that 59-0 a$$ blistering we got in 1988. For those that were alive and remember it, it wasn’t even that close.
I think we all agree he was a legend as a coach and one of the best people ever to coach. RIP

It was drubbing, but probably less painful than Clemson losing to them that season when Bowden called the puntrooski from his own 20 yard line. The man had balls of steel.
Absolutely. Only a legend could even think about making that call. That’s the type of play call in a video game. I just remember my dad screaming and laughing at the TV when it happened. I think I did the same when Melvin Ingram ran his fake punt against Georgia.
Exactly. What most people don't remember is the game was tied with less than 2 minutes left when he called it. If that play fails, then Clemson kicks a field goal and wins it.
Bobby Bowden was one of a kind. RIP.
