TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -Bobby Bowden is nearing agreement on a one-year contract to coach his 34th season at Florida State.
An administration official familiar with the negotiations says the 79-year-old Bowden still must sign the agreement, which includes an option for 2010. The person requested anonymity because an official announcement has yet to be made.
FSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher must replace Bowden by January 2011 or the school will owe him $5 million.
Bowden’s 382 career coaching wins are one fewer than Penn State’s Joe Paterno, the all-time leader among major college coaches. The 82-year-old Paterno recently signed a three-year extension.
