Comments on: Will The Bad Economy Mean A Quicker End For Bobby Bowden? http://www.scalpem.com/blog/2008/11/17/will-the-bad-economy-mean-a-quicker-end-for-bobby-bowden/ Florida State Seminoles Sports Blog And Photo Album Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:40:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jrado http://www.scalpem.com/blog/2008/11/17/will-the-bad-economy-mean-a-quicker-end-for-bobby-bowden/comment-page-1/#comment-32090 jrado Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:18:38 +0000 http://www.scalpem.com/blog/?p=1423#comment-32090 I would love nothing more than to see Bobby go out as the winningest coach in college history and rightfully he should. But I have been to every home game and most away games for the past four years, and it isn't very often when I see Bowden with a head set on. Not to say that he isn't helpful and he still is the head coach but I have to agree with the earlier comment that he is more of a figure head coach and the real coaching is going on in the shadows by Jimbo. I believe this may be Paterno's last year (crossing my fingers) and that Bobby may continue one more season so that he can go out as the winningest coach. I would just like to state that I have the up-most respect for Bobby Bowden and my Noles.

Coach Spurrier recently commented on his lack of enthusiasm for a lengthy career. Without naming Coach Bowden or Coach Paterno, Spurrier said that he would not be a Figurehead Coach going for a record while the real coaching worked in the shadows. Coach Spurrier is not one of my favorites and never will be, but he makes a good point. FSU is not selling as many tickets, even when offering special deals at the last minute! Yes, the nose diving economy is not helping; however, let's not forget the raising of ticket prices, donor fees, and the recalculations of ticket distributed by ranking. We also need to consider the negative headlines about cheating, skipping classes and fights. My family's season seats have been the same for a few years, and we have seen different people to the left, right and to the rear slowly increasing the one ticket holders in the stands. Since we all believe that money talks, I think it's safe to say, that there will be a limit to the patience of donors and season ticket purchasers when we do not have continued success in the ACC and in the national rankings.

If a program lacks tradition, it can be hard to sell out a huge stadium without a competent product. Enjoyed this article.

However, if the economy continues on its current path, then it's a distinct possibility that I'll reduce the number of games I go to each year. HDTV makes it a harder choice than in previous years.
