TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -Bobby Bowden had hoped to coach another year.
The Florida State coach said Thursday on his weekly call-in television show that he wanted to return for another season, but his retirement gives him and his wife Ann an opportunity to travel and see the world.
The 80-year-old Bowden said he was thankful for his long coaching career, highlighted by working with young men and meeting many families over nearly six decades on the sidelines.
In Bowden\’s 34 seasons at Florida State, the Seminoles won 315 games, a dozen Atlantic Coast Conference titles, two national championships and were ranked in the top five in The Associated Press poll for 14 straight years.
Bowden said he\’d be pulling for Florida State the rest of his life. He announced his retirement Tuesday.
