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

You realize Nebraska was already an elite program when Osborne got there and FSU was a complete nobody when Bowden took that job? Nebraska had won b2b national titles just a year before Osborne was hired. Everything FSU has become is 100% because of Bowden. He built them into a powerhouse from the ground up
That and I don't think people realize that Florida didn't really become a powerhouse until the invention of Air Conditioning. Truly. There's a reason Florida, FSU, and Miami all didn't explode until the 80s. Florida had a massive population boom starting in the 70s because it finally became hospitable to live in most of the state

Not quite true. I was living in Florida in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Cocaine (and the massive cash it dropped in the state) was a primary reason football took off in the state at that time.
It is plenty hot and humid in the Deep South and that did not stop other SEC teams from kicking butt.
