In a disappointing way for any Seminoles fans, there may be no greater testimony to the late Bobby Bowden’s achievements than Florida State’s current woes. Bowden created a powerhouse out of thin air in Tallahassee, one that maintained most of its dominance under his immediate and hand-picked successor, including a particular victory against No. 5 Notre Dame back in 2014.
But since Jimbo Fisher left Florida State, life for the garnet-and-gold has gotten worse and worse, partly due to Fisher’s mismanagement as he readied to cash in at Texas A&M.
The Seminoles are coming off their third straight losing season, and the odds suggest a fourth awaits them, if not also a fifth.
