Trustee Targets Bobby Bowden

Florida State University Trustees Chairman Jim Smith: “My hope is frankly that we'll go ahead, and if we have to, let the world know that this year will be the end of the Bowden era. I do appreciate what he's done for us, what he's done for the program, what he's done really for the state of Florida. But I think the record will show that the Seminole Nation has been more than patient. We have been in a decline not for a year or two or three but I think we're coming up on seven or eight. I think enough is enough. The president intends to announce we've negotiated a contract with coach Fisher.”
