Still can't believe Bill Curry got the job over him back in the late 1980s

He coached at Florida State for 34 years and won two NC's. Dude was not near as good as people give him credit for but he is a great guy.

Hindsight is 20/20 because until 1987 Bowden had been very pedestrian. Now, he was still building but he wasn't the Bowden people came to know. his records at FS prior to 1987 were:
5-6
10-2
8-3
11-1
6-5
9-3
8-4
7-3-2
9-3
7-4-1
Today, he would not have survived long enough to make FSU what we saw FSU become but yes, we don't experience the Bill Curry years, probably not the Stallings years either. We may have won the 91 and 94 national titles if not for Florida. Bowden dominated Florida.

Likely would have gotten us in even more trouble with the NCAA than Stallings and DuBose did.
