The long suspected news finally came true today when Bobby Bowden announced he is retiring as head coach of the Florida State Seminoles. Things got pretty sticky at certain points this year and it was widely known that Bowden was on his way out even though he wanted to continue to coach. Bowden will “coach” Florida State in their bowl game this year and could receive more than a million dollars to walk away from the program. Bowden is the winningest coach in ACC history and at one point Bowden he had one of the most dominant programs in college football history. The Seminoles between 1987 and 2000 finished in the top five every year and also won two national titles.
