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

Bowden built his legacy on soft scheduling and cheating. He also had the best DC in college football for many years who just wasn't head coaching material or he would have left.

Bowden/FSU filled their schedule with sub-500 teams and then played a big name school like Michigan and Nebraska. Florida wasn't any good. Miami wasn't any good. When Miami turned the corner and Florida turned the corner, he ducked the SEC and joined the ACC expressly so he could have more wins.

The best of all time takes on the best and is not afraid of playing the best. That is 180 degrees away from Bowden.

you are a fricking idiot. Bobby didnt take over at FSU until 76. Howard Schnellenberger took over in 79 at UM. By 83 he won an NC.

ALl of the 80s and until about 95, UM was a huge power and was again in 99,2000, 2001, 2002.

from 84-89 florida had galen hall after charlie pell got fired for cheating. Pell got florida going and Hall had them as a bad arse team in 84 & 85.

SOS took over in 1990 and had UF rocking the whole time.

So wtf are you talking abotu Miami and florida werent good....are you retarded.

so now nebraska wasnt good and was onyl a big name? again are you stupid?

so playing Auburn, clemson, florida, miami, ND, pitt, michigan that were all ranked top 10 plus many others dont count?

Cheating:

When Sports Illustrated does its first ever probe of a program and calls it the most scandalous cheating program in college football history except for Miami, but somehow gets away with it, you see that Bobby is well-loved as a facade act, but the real deal is shady. Nobody cares that he was a cheater. Nobody. That is because he was "well-liked".

We all have short memories and we feel good and hate bad those the media has conditioned us to love or hate. It just is what it is. Bowden is a scumbag but the media and his good ol boy persona has everyone loving him.

was FSU caught doing anything? nope, not until 06 & 07. Bobby ran a pretty clean program. And who cares if kids were getting money? every program was and is doing that, now its just legal.

Bowden got a bad wrap for keeping kids that got in trouble around. But he was right. He always said it was better for the kid to be there at FSU than kicked out and going back home to be in the streets. Bobby was a devout christain and lived it.


frick you and frick off!!!
