You are right...he didn't come to North Texas from a team that played in a BCS bowl game....he came from Western Kentucky.
In all seriousness, Bowen does fit that situation less than Canales, I'll give you that. BUT....Bowen did happen to be the DC for Kansas during their Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech (24-21) in January 2008....
True, but what was the average points per game given up by his defense that season? Even when Kansas was winning, his defense gave up tons of points and yards. So no, BCS DC in name yes.
I don't see the two as comparative. Give FIU some credit if this happens for them.
