Bowden gets $1 million to retire

Those are the most prominent numbers to emerge amid contract details for FSU's Hall of Fame coach and his designated successor, released Monday by FSU officials.

Is there some hidden message in this one? Is somebody suggesting its time for Bobby Bowden to retire? Not sure whether to take this one as informative or a message.

not sure about Bowden's retirement........but the university did a nice job of making sure that Fisher won't pull a disappearing act and go coach somewhere else.

Interesting that they changed the headline from the one that originally appeared in the Herald, to give the piece an entirely different connotation.

They will prop up Bobby Bowden and turn things over the Jimbo. This deal with Jo Pa and Bobby Bowden is getting ridiculous. Both need to just retire and get out of the way or maybe their schools should make it happen.
