On Monday, while making a point about the late Bobby Bowden being able to successfully head coach in any era due to his eye for talent on the recruiting trail, Paul Finebaum took a shot at Oklahoma and Notre Dame...
quote:
Bobby Bowden, he was in the first BCS game and lost. I mean, Bobby Bowden would've done well in any era because he was such a good coach and such a great recruiter. But I'm not sure. I mean, he would've had the players. And really, what separates people in the playoffs has been players. That's why Notre Dame has been unable to win.
That's why Oklahoma has failed most of the time, because they just simply could not match up to the SEC. Bobby Bowden could match up with the SEC. He had great success in the SEC.
