A great football coach but an even better man….

He impressed me the very first time I saw him coach.

I found myself rooting for FSU when they were the up-and-comer against Oklahoma in those 80's (70's?) orange bowls.

I always hated Switzer but I found Bowden to be a likable fella.

Hey, you can't complain if you get 91 years.

One of the all time greats. God bless.

It was easy to root for FSU when he was coaching. RIP

My favorite College coach ever. RIP coach

I became a fan when, in a post game interview, he was asked about running up the score. He said something like It's their job to keep us from scoring.

The game will miss him.

While I respected Coach Bowden for what he did as a coach, it was his off the field life I admired most. I enjoyed listening to him talk about his faith and family.
If there was ever a Godly man to emulate, Coach Bowden was it.

I never got to see him speak at a PK gathering but have heard he was amazing.

Bobby once told the reason he doesn't stop scoring in one of his interviews. I couldn't find it on YouTube but he said, He had his team stop trying to score when hit 50 points and the other team came back and beat them. I think it was when he was with WVU. He said that's why he doesn't stop trying to score any more.

One of the great coaches...RIP

We'll miss you, Bobby.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
