re: Bobby Bowden started head coaching in 1959. From 1959-2020 where does he rank all time.

#1 Bowden had pretty soft schedules so had he been in a Power Conference he probably has 1 or 2 more losses a year. Still a good coach but would not have been in the MNC hunt with that extra loss or two

#2 Leaving out some great coaches by limiting time frame is short sighted. Imagine Neyland without time off for WWI and WWII. Bernie at was a beast. If U of Chicago does not give up football for academics would Ohio State ever gotten a space to excel?

What? Bowden scheduled brutal games, mostly on the road for years. Go look at their schedules. They were anything but soft

Were you born after 2005? The 90s and early 2000s was FSU playing everyone, their Miami games and his battles with Spurrier were must see....

They were talking about early Bowden FSU schedules the other day, in a stretch in the 1980s he went on the road 5 straight weeks and played a p5 team all 5.
