It's been quite a ride for Bob Thomas over the last 15 years.
A longtime newspaper guy and distinguished chronicler of Florida State football during the Bobby Bowden dynasty, Thomas was laid off by the Florida Times-Union in 2008.
He then took a job with Florida State as the head sports information director for football and found himself navigating the tumult of 2009 when FSU's administration told Bowden it was time to go.
When Jimbo Fisher arrived, the coach had other ideas about the football team's communications and Thomas was pushed to a different department.
Just a year ago, Thomas found himself a victim of pandemic-related job cuts within FSU's athletics department. He's now adjusting to his new job as media specialist for FSU's College of Medicine.
Thomas is a trove of knowledge and stories about FSU's incredible run under Bowden, and he explores the similarities of that era with the current Clemson-dominated ACC world.
Thomas also gives his thoughts on how long it'll be before the Seminoles can contend with the Clemson monster.
