Bowden getting the boot?

We like to dog Bobby Bowden here in Lion country, but college football will miss him when he goes. Today, it seems we'll miss him sooner than we expected, according to a report out today:

"Jim Smith, the chair of the university’s Board of Trustees and a 1962 graduate of FSU, also said it is time to eliminate any doubt about Jimbo Fisher’s role and responsibilities in the football program... “The President intends to announce we’ve negotiated a contract with Coach Fisher,” Smith said."

I get it, Florida State doesn't seem to be improving. But for all the barbs people like me have thrown his way, I do feel for Bowden right now. The Gators are running roughshod over the Sunshine State, the Hurricanes are picking up speed, and hell, even South Florida is a better team right now. It's too bad Bobby couldn't go out with one more good season. (Tallahassee Democrat)
