FSU: No Class in Showing Bobby Bowden The Door.

A note of congratulations is in order for those who sit in the ivory towered rooms at Florida State University and make those critical decisions that affect the lives of our future leaders.

Congratulations for finally ridding yourselves of the pesky nuisance that was Bobby Bowden. In light of what he has done to your money-printing football machine, it was so blatantly obvious that is was time for him to be shown the door as quickly as possible.

Seriously, who needs an 80-year-old man wandering up and down the sideline on those cold and blustery fall days end evenings? Better to think of his health and a propensity for the aged and doddering to be stricken with some form of flu or common cold.

No doubt you’re thinking first and foremost about Mr. Bowden’s health at such an advanced age.

It was the perfect gentle nudge when Jim Smith, Chair of the Florida State Board of Trustees, said that after a decade of decline in this cash cow that it was time to push Bobby out of his chair, no matter what the Coach thought about his ability to remain.

Classy guy, that Jim Smith. You have to give him chops for being the courageous one, willing to stand out and speak his mind about Coach Bowden when all of Bobby’s buddies and cronies in the Athletic Department were rallying around the aging leader and covering up all of his recent flaws.

Stand up and give Jim Smith a round of applause for doing what needed to be done! After all, look at the exceptional service he’s given to FSU. Think about it. Despite being appointed to the FSU Board of Trustees in 2002 for a 4-year team by Florida Governor Charlie Crist, Smith has been gracious enough to stay on well past his tenure expiration date.

Never mind that Smith used to be a lobbyist and there’s a 2005 State law that prohibits those honest and hard working citizens from serving on any State University trustee board.

Got to admit the people at FSU and all those legions of fans and boosters have to be grateful for Smith’s leadership role at a time like this.

And speaking of all those people who have FSU DNA at their very core, this has got to be a big day to celebrate wheeling old man Bowden out of his office and finally turning the football program over to Jimbo Fisher.
