The Football Blitz

The last decade at Florida State Bobby Bowden has had his worst records as a whole.  The big question right now is will he return in 2010?  Kirk Herbstreit makes a great point that maybe a coach in waiting (Jimbo Fischer)could be hindering the program.  A possibility that could be right.  It is essentially like having two head coaches currently.  While Bowden should still be in charge, maybe Fischer has had more input and it doesn’t work in Bowden’s system.  Something to ponder, but essentially, the concept at FSU is one the provides the most stable transition for the team and the university.  The talent is  good at FSU so when Fischer does take over the team is stocked and he will not be rebuilding.  If Bowden does return, Fischer should have some input on a new defensive coordinator so once Bowden leaves the continuity of the team and staff continue.  After FSU’s loss yesterday to Florida Bowden said he had some soul searching to do.  Today he said he would like to stayanother season at FSU.  One thing is very obvious.  Bowden ultimately may not be the one making the decisions, but his wife should probably keep her opinions to herself because I’m sure that administration doesn’t appreciate comments like these.  

“If FSU doesn’t give it to him, she says, “You know, we don’t need the university as much as they need us — as much as they need him and his connections and reputation and everything. If they want to pull that trick, we’ll just shake the dirt off our feet and go to Europe or go on a long cruise or something.”
