Best For Bowdon, Best For FSU That He Should Go

Yesterday, a member of the Board of Trustees at Florida St. said that "enough is enough" referring to his opinion that FSU Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden should step down after this season. Up until now, the university, along with it's Board of Trustees, had been very supportive of Coach Bowden even though the level of success has gone down somewhat.

I'm reminded of a verse in the Bible, more particularly in the book of Ecclesiastees, that "to everything there is a season". I may be taking that verse slightly out of context, but it may very well be time for Coach Bowden to step down and allow Head Coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher take over after this season.

Ever since the Seminoles lost to Oklahoma in the 2000 National Title Game, the program has been, at best, mediocre. Also, things have happened off the field with a cheating scandal involving several football players as well as athletes from other sports. The fact that 14 of Bowden's wins might be taken from him by the NCAA is a shame. He has won 2 national titles and trails Joe Paterno of Penn St. by three games as the winningest coach in college football. The program, however, is not getting better. It is right now barely above average.

Jimbo Fisher deserves the opportunity to be a head coach. Coach Bowden has taken Florida St. as far as he can take it. for the sake of the university, his family and his health, Bobby Bowden should step aside after this season. Your comments please!
