End of an Era (dadgummit!)
Posted by Bigfoot on December 3rd, 2009
Bobby Bowden, the head football coach at Florida State University since 1976, has announced his retirement, effective after the Seminoles play their upcoming bowl game. As head coach, his career includes 4 years at Samford College (his alma mater, then named Howard College), 6 years at West Virginia, and 34 years at Florida State, where he won national championships for the 1993 and 1999 seasons. While no decision has yet been made as to which bowl will take Florida State, one possibility is a Gator Bowl contest with Bowden’s old team, West Virginia. Besides being the winningest active coach in NCAA Division 1-A (now known as “1-Bowl Subdivision”) football, Bowden in also known for mild cuss-word “dadgum” or “dadgummit”, the origin of which he explains near the end of this interview.
