He definetely wanted it and would have taken it IF it was offered. He has expressed that many times. That is Bowden's side of the story. Really the issue was Joab Thomas and he wanted to de-emphasize football at Bama...or at least reign it in somewhat.....Thomas wanted Bill Curry and he was his guy...Curry was a good guy and a decent coach but just a bad fit....being 0-3 against Dye didn't help hime. He was 3-0 against Paterno and Penn State in their prime but couldn't get past Auburn.
Didn't know about Joab Thomas. I have heard Bowden's side of the story a few times. He used to be on the LeBatard local radio show often and he has told his side several times over the years.
