Bowden eyes 34th year
TALLAHASSEE (AP) – Bobby Bowden says he’ll be back for a 34th season as coach at Florida State.
Bowden, 79, said Friday that details of his new contract are being finalized. He also said his longtime defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews will return.
Bowden earns slightly more than $2 million a year.
Bowden’s 382 career wins are one fewer than Penn State’s 82-year-old Joe Paterno, who is the winningest coach in major college football.
Florida State was 9-4 in 2008 and finished No. 21 in the final Associated Press poll.
