We didn't hire Bowden to be the coach. Besides coaching football is not rocket surgery. It's not like there are any real technical changes that have taken place. To a large extent it's still my lineman knocked down your lineman I winI guess I'll be that guy, but Bowden has to be in his late 80's and the game had passed him by 15 years ago. Why should I care even if I hope he's right?
He doesn't know today's game. He stayed at FSU 5 years too long at an absolute minimum. Ultimate CEO-type of coach, never was the greatest at Xs and Os. Some of the guys he coached during his last few years at FSU said he basically didn't do anything other than walk around practice and the coaches offices, asking what the coaches were doing. Outstanding recruiter and motivator. Bowden thought Dave Hart was a good AD and Butch was a good coach too.Seriously? Bowden doesn't just spew compliments like that. Man is a top 10 coach of all time and flat knows the game and coaches.

Derek Dooley had Bowden come in to speak to the Vols one time. He introduced him like “Gentlemen, please welcome my good friend, Coach Bobby Bowden!”
Bowden stood up and said, “Thanks Darrell.”
Part of the reason why the players called him Darrell *****.

Not shocked that I have America's greatest race car driver showing love to a cute ass kitten? What does that have to do with what I said?With an Avatar like that ... Not Shocked..
Bowden is a legend, and, an honest guy. I wouldn't think the compliment would have been given if it wasn't meant. Besides, who in Tennessee would he be trying to flatter at this point.
Haha. Never knew this. Hilarious.
So, What's the rest of the reason?
