Bobby Bowden On Post Clemson Interview
Posted by NoleCC
From Andrew Carter’s blog at the Orlando Sentinel:
I asked Bowden about the whirlwind of criticism surrounding his comments post-Clemson.
“Number one, I hadn’t heard it,†Bowden said of the criticism. “But a lot of times, I’m on the sideline, been trying to recollect what happened, a lot of times I don’t have it exactly right. Probably a lot of coaches don’t have it exactly right.â€
I told him that a lot of people are using that against him as proof that he’s lost it.
“Well, they can do it if they want to,†Bowden said. “They’ve got to have something to think up. I hope they can think up something better than that, though. They’ve got to think up something better than that.â€
I don’t think we have to think very hard to figure out some more reasons…

first off, as an FSU alum I love Bobby Bowden and have immense gratitude for what he’s done for FSU football, but I think he should retire. Having said that, I don’t think its the job of a head coach to remember what happened during a game (time, quarter, half, etc.), so I don’t think that exposing his spotty/poor memory means much. (The problem here, however, is that Bobby isn’t coaching anymore.)

Bobby Bowden is being paid over $2,000,000 and his title is Head Coach. Bobby Bowden claims he’s like the CEO. CEO’s have been fired for downward trends. Head Coaches have been fired after a few bad years. How many more paychecks will Bowden receive while being more like a BOBBLE HEAD?
