FSU President T.K. Wetherell Speaks on Bowden

Florida State president T.K. Wetherell released a statement this morning concerning Bobby Bowden’s future:

Coach Bobby Bowden is a friend of mine, as a mentor and coach since my freshman year at FSU in 1963. His character and commitment to excellence has always been the signature of his career. Two years ago Coach Bowden and I and others stood together and announced that we were beginning a period of transition for the football program. That plan is in place and will produce results, given the opportunity and support.

Check out the entire statement over at SBN’s Tomahawk Nation. And while the skepticism may be mounting in Tallahassee, it certainly bodes well for Bowden that he’s got a cozy relationship with Wetherell to lean on as he tries to thwart his critics.

As long as he’s got the support of the most powerful man in the university, Bowden’s not going anywhere, and Florida State will go 8-4 until he’s 90 years old. Yay!
