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

He would have like 2 - 3 big games a year then lots of fluff. He would schedule schools with name recognition but not the football prowess at the time. Nothing wrong with scheduling that way and it worked for him but would not have worked in a conference.

From 1980-86, he scheduled tough, name brand opponents to help build his own program's brand. Starting in 1987, Florida State embarked on that epic run of 14 straight Top 5-finishing seasons.
