in most other walks of life some one would step aside at 65 - 70 and have someone groomed to take over the operation

1 that comes to mind at 78 is warren buffett - but there is 1 difference between him and bowden - buffett owns the co no one can fire him , he is going to die there

bowden does not own florida st , he is an employoee at the end of the day and while the team is not terrible it is a far cry from the 14 in a row top 5 finshes back across the 80's and 90's and early part of this decade - he is in a results business

joe pa has actually gone from some pretty bad teams a few years ago to being better the last couple of years - the difference in my opinion is the level of expectations - FSU fans expect to be in the nat'l championship race , PSU fans are happy if they win 9-10 games and make a run at the rose bowl , being in the nat'l championship race would be like a bonus
