Bobby Bowden leaves hospital after COVID-19 treatment

Legendary former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden was released from a hospital Thursday after being treated for COVID-19.

Bowden family friend Kim Shiff said the 90-year-old college Hall of Famer was back home after a weeklong stay at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare.

“We are all happy,” Bobby Bowden’s wife, Ann, told the Tallahassee Democrat Thursday. "I just want to see him get back to his normal self. We are grateful to have him home. Bobby is thankful for all the thoughts and prayers.

He was hospitalized Oct. 6, three days after testing positive for COVID-19. He had received word of the positive test a few days after returning to his Tallahassee home from a lengthy hospital stay for an infection in his leg.
