Bobby Bowden Interested in Coaching Florida Gators Football Team

With Urban Meyer announcing that he is taking a leave of absence, former Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden is interested in being the short term replacement for Meyer in Gainesville. Bobby Bowden understands that he might not have many years left, so he is offering his services for a few years until Meyer improves his health and is ready to come back.

"I have an excellent resume and feel like I am the most qualified person to get this job temporarily" said Bowden from a Florida Bingo Hall. "I have won two national titles, twelve conference championships, and am the oldest coach ever at Florida State to be forced to resign. If there's someone that has a more impressive resume than me, please let me know who they are."

Having faced the Gators as the head coach at Florida State, Bowden understands the rivalry. With his familiarity of the Seminoles, he would have insider knowledge when the two teams face each other next year. Nothing would please Bowden more than to beat his old team.
