JoPa can finally breathe.

wow, imho, he's earned the right to stay there forever. it's sad to see him forced out like this.

Florida St. will be cursed!

You CANNOT run that guy out after what he has done for that program! I understand know one is bigger than the team but if it wasn't for him FSU would not be what it is today.

Ya I have an amazing amount of respect for both him & JoPa. As much as I hate Florida schools it was always hard to hate BB, he's just way to honest & way to likable.

Sad day for college football.

 

[IrishInFl]

Not exactly shocking when the school would have to pay Jimbo something like $5 million for not being head coach. Boosters wanted him out, so he is out.

FSU is stupid he was going to retire soon anyway, they should have let him goout on his own terms. Well atleast you had a GREAT career Bob.

 

[IrishInFl]

Bobby's own terms were that he leaves with a NC. Do you see that in the near future?

 

[BGIF]

Bumfuzzled!

Bobby's own terms were that he leaves with a NC. Do you see that in the near future?

I'm pretty sure he would have retired within the next 3 years.

FSU isn't forcing Bobby Bowden out. Bowden said he would leave when he wanted to and he is. Mickey Andrew is leaving, Bobby hasn't been doing any coaching for awhile now. As an avid FSU, I believe that Bobby was given that right and he chose to retire now.

 

[BCSorBust]

JoPa can finally breathe.

Wait JoPa breathes??? I thought he was like Walt Disney and frozen or something.

Regardless of what you think of Bowden, he had a good run.

93 was bullshit and he knows it

 

[ojo_223]

DADGUM!! I don't like Free Shoes U, but Bobby was a good guy. Good luck in your retirement Bobby.

 

[IrishAlum1997]

Hot Bobby!

Braddah you got that right!!!!! Ahhh best of luck coach bobby. Enjoy your well deserved retirement.

I met him once when i was in Cocoa high school. he was there for are awards banquet and to recruit a kid to come to FSU. Personally speaking i think is just a Good ole boy from the sticks i think FSU made a horrible mistake by pushing him out the door like they did. he was and always will be one of my favorite college football coaches that did not coach at notre dame

Didn't Jimbo Fisher have one more year to wait before FSU had to pay him the 5 mil anyway? Why not let him coach one last year like he continually said he wanted to?

And hopefully he goes out with a win in the bowl game. I really wanted Weis to be able to coach the bowl game (obviously I didn't want ND to wait that long to fire him, but Coker got to coach his bowl game before being let go) H
