It looks like age is catching up with Bobby. I greatly respect Bowden and Paterno, but it's time for both men to pass on the torch...
They had to blame SOMEBODY for the lack of offensive imagination on that team...and sure as hell was NOT gonna be Bobby Bowden.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden received a $537,500 payoff from the school's boosters to resign following several seasons of declining production.

Ahhhh...gotta love my alma mater....!
But truth be told, these agreements are NOT unique...but very normal among collage coaches in Football.

only problem i have with is: i highly doubt jeff bowden will ever do any kind of work for fsu again after my gators leave him with a not so friendly parting gift!!
