The gradual decline of Florida State under Bobby Bowden has hit some sort of crux, or at the very least has reached a new and critical stage of intensity. Jim Smith, the chair of the university’s Board of Trustees, has said publicly that “enough is enough,” and this should be the final year of Bowden’s tenure.
Florida State Trustee on Bobby Bowden: ‘Enough Is Enough’
"But I think the record will show that the Seminole Nation has been more than patient. We have been in a decline not for a year or two or three but I think we’re coming up on seven or eight. I think enough is enough."
The issue has come to a head following FSU’s 28-21 loss to Boston College, a game featuring red-zone fizzling by the FSU offense, long bombs allowed to a Boston College team that had less than a 100 yards total against Clemson, and sideline meltdowns between players and coaches.
One message board rumor even had coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher and longtime assistant Chuck Amato fighting over who was going to give the pregame speech. A rumor like that is instructive: even if untrue, the mere fact of its plausibility is testament to the deep well of dysfunction the Seminole football program has been thrown down by Bobby Bowden.
