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.

Its funny to think about this now and how many coaches could do great things if given more time. Coaches use to get at least twice as many years as now before they were fired.

14 straight ten win seasons...back when ten wins was harder to achieve.

FOURTEEN STRAIGHT. Remarkable.
