Huts And Nuts 4: Bobby Bowden


Listen Later

If you are looking for a human version of the Energizer Bunny, Bobby Bowden is it. The college football coaching legend will turn 90 in November, and just a few months ago he celebrated his 70th wedding anniversary (yep, Bobby was 19 years old and Ann was 16 when they eloped). These days, Bobby rises each day at 4 am, plays golf and enjoys his 21 grandchildren. Why did the Birmingham native leave the Crimson Tide team to transfer to Howard University? How close was Bobby to becoming the Alabama head football coach? Did you know that Bobby was offered the Auburn job before Pat Dye took over? And why did Deion Sanders arrive at his last game at Florida State wearing a tux? Coach Bowden tells us how his FSU teams finished in the top five of the final season rankings for fourteen straight years, how his departure from FSU really went down, and who he considers to be the greatest college football coach of all time. A great man of faith, Bobby Bowden opens up and doesn't hold back!
