Only Bobby Bowden Still Thinks He Can Coach at Florida State

Filed under: Florida State, CoachingBobby Bowden thought he was making a little news Tuesday. He did, but it won't be read like he wishes.

Bowden said Florida State forced him out after last season.

This is news?

Only if you were on Mars the past five years. Everybody saw it coming, and everybody could see how the remarkable story Bowden authored at FSU was not going to have a happy ending.

The only revelation Tuesday was that Bowden is still blind to the reasons he was let go. And all that did was confirm FSU did the right thing.

"Fired might be a little strong," Bowden told the Associated Press. "Pushed out ain't bad. I was pushed, no doubt about it."

He said that at the kickoff of a book tour in New York. It's standard promotional procedure to pluck something controversial from a book to generate buzz. If this is the best his publicists could come up with, Danielle Steele has nothing to worry about.
