As reported by Seminoles.com, Former Florida State University head coach Bobby Bowden and Seminole Boosters, Inc. have agreed to a marketing and promotions agreement to raise money for Florida State Athletics.
This is more than wonderful news.
The departure of Coach Bowden was handled very poorly, and without questions feelings were hurt on both sides, leaving an adoring fan base sitting on the sidelines. At the time this occurred, we wrote an essay both on our deep affection for the man and our thoughts on the turmoil leading to his departure.
In fact, Coach Bowden is an inaugural member of The Hall of BAHL.
The greater majority of the Florida State faithful are thankful to have Jimbo Fisher as our head football coach, and the team is gaining in performance annually. The future is sunlight bright.
But, there is only one Bobby Bowden, and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome the patriarch back to the family. Coach Bowden discusses what his role with Seminole Boosters will partially entail.
This is without question a very welcomed move and one that will pay big dividends, not only from the sought after goal of fundraising, but in healing a relationship that should have never been wounded in the first place. A win win for everyone involved.
Andy Miller, President of Seminole Boosters, pointed out the obvious: “Coach Bowden has always been a great ambassador for the University and will be invaluable in our efforts to fund a highly successful Athletics program.”
As a former president of one of those Seminole Booster clubs, I look very forward to visiting with Coach Bowden once again and hearing once again some of those old stories only he can tell.
Welcome back Coach Bowden.
