The former Auburn coach and Bowden Clan scion is certainly making moves like he is. From the Tampa Tribune:Orlando radio station WHOO, 1080 AM announced Wednesday that Terry Bowden is leaving his post as co-host of the 'Terry Bowden-Brady Ackerman Show' to move to Tallahassee as an 'observer' of FSU's football program. Terry was heavily involved in helping his father revamp Florida State's coaching staff in the offseason.I didn't realize Bowden had a hand in the reshuffling of the staff.
All-in-all, it looks like he did a masterful job, at least until the games get played. Florida State hired LSU's Jimbo Fisher to be its offensive coordinator and West Virginia's Rick Trickett to coach its offensive line. Several other assistant positions were also reshuffled with what looks like a top-notch coaching staff.
Hard to tell where he's going with this, as Bowden will remain a college football analyst for various entities this year.
Perhaps he's just making sure his old man gets a chance to end his career with success instead of malaise as had happened the past few years. Those years led to the forced departure of his brother Jeff, the Seminoles' offensive coordinator. Bobby Bowden seemed prepared to go down with his former group of assistants, which may have prompted Terry's involvement in cobbling together a functional staff that the head man could be loyal to but also bring new blood into a declining program.
Or maybe Terry's dead serious about this.
This is my personal opinion,' Tommy Bowden said. 'He got actively involved in helping dad put his staff together. I think that kind of lit the fire back.'Hmm ...
