Former Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne on Tuesday released the following statement regarding the retirement of Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden:
“I’ve been in communication with Bobby Bowden over the last few weeks and realize that this has been a difficult situation for him. Football has lost a great representative, but at the same time Bobby, and all of us who know him and care about him, can reflect with admiration on his remarkable career. Bobby accomplished a standard of excellence that is unparalleled in major college football. Having played his teams on several occasions, I can attest to the excellence of his coaching and his preparation. On top of his outstanding won-loss record, Bobby has always been an excellent role model and has stood for the highest standards in athletic competition. I wish Bobby and his family well.”Osborne, the former Nebraska head coach, and Bowden faced each other on eight occasions, including bowl games after the 1987, 1989, 1992 and 1993 seasons. FSU won all four of those games and split four regular-season games in Lincoln in 1980, 1981, 1985 and 1986.
