FSU Trustee says Bobby must go

I am a lifelong fan of the Florida State football team, a team that for years was one of the dominant teams in the nation.  A monster that was rivaled by very few and was a truly consistent threat for the national title. 

A monster that was created solely by Bobby Bowden. 

12 Conference Chamionships (They joined the ACC in 1991), with 9 of them being consecutive
2 National Titles
368 Wins
21-10-1 Bowl Record


That monster is trying to eat him now.  The sad thing is, it is time for him to fall on his sword.  Bobby is old, past retirement old, and just can't play the role that he once did.  This has removed his identity from the team and left a cloud floating over this program.  The FSU that Bobby built was the team version of the gunslinger Quarterback.  Their offense attacked, their defense attacked, their special teams attacked.  They were one of the first teams to recruit the speed that has made the Florida Universities so dominant, and they took full advantage.  Now, Bobby is a manager and the team is complacent.  This is not Florida State football.

His potential retirement and the instability that comes with it hurts recruiting and distracts from the focus of the team.  I don't know if Jimbo Fisher is the right answer, but his pedigree is solid and Bobby hand picked him.

Bobby, let the man takeover and go play with your grandkids.  It's time.

Enjoy your retirement.
