Article About Coach Bryant, JoePa, and Bobby Bowden...

[BayAreaBama]

Despite the numerous grammatical errors, some really good points in this article.

It's mostly directed at FSU, but I'm sure we all can relate (and agree) to the parallels made.

They Just Don't Make 'em Like Bear, Joe Pa, and Bobby Anymore!! | Bleacher Report

Good read until the last paragraph. NEVER NEVER NEVER would I turn into a BARNER!!!!!

To say that Bama only had "glimmers of success" before Coach Bryant shows his ignorance of Alabama football. Guess he never heard of Coach Wade and Coach Thomas and had no idea of why their statues are outside BDS. :rolleye2:

I absolutely refuse to read anything from Bleacher Report.

All of their writers want to be JessN when they grow up, and until they do...

 

[BayAreaBama]

Agreed, his overall point is true, nonetheless... FSU was nothing before Bowden

 

[RogueElephant]

Obviously the writer does not know that we would never become Barners

Very true. Writer should have done some research.

Yep, that last paragraph ruined anything that might have been good about the article. I'd die and go to Hades before I'd even think about being a barn fan. Yuk!

Got that right!

They never had the success Coach Bryant had 61,64,65,73,78,79 ! :BigA: Theres more barners now than in 70s cause of who,why did that happen cause Coach wasn't around to carry The flag so I see his point.

that writer is an idiot

No offense intended to anyone, but Bobby should have retired about 5 or 6 years ago. I know about him trying to keep up with Granpa JoPa but he should have went out while still on top. I had alot of respect for Bowden as a coach but "Dadgummit" know when to call it a day.

I agree that Diddy should have gone out when he could with dignity. This is one of the reasons Coach Bryant retired when he did...

And now they're nothing with Bowden...hmmm...life's cruel ironies. I think nearly a decade of mediocrity is more than enough.

When are people going to learn to stop calling the garbage on Bleacher Report "articles." Every time I see a thread on here that starts Good article on... and then includes a link to that terrible site, I have to fight the urge to break something!:rant:

Now that that's out of the way, Papa Bowden should have hung up the head set 5 years ago. I heard somewhere that he's so out of the loop at FSU now, he doesn't even know when The 'Noles have called timeout.

I like Bobby he is definately head and shoulders better than any of his sons. What I can't figure out is why the FSU faithful are so hung up on Fisher. I mean he is "coach in waiting" but he is also the OC and there O stinks. They have no continuity what so ever. You would think if he was such a good coach to deserve the "coach in waiting" status they would be better than what they are. I know ppl are talking about the confusion over who is the coach and this and that, but when you get down down to brass tacks he isn't doing a good job with the O. FSU needs to realize that Fisher isn't the answer, I am not saying that keeping Bobby is b/c I don't think that is the answer either. FSU will struggle until they get a coach and Fisher isn't it, JMHO.

Exactly what I thought. I guess the 5 NCs before CPB = a glimmer?

It's just a blogsite. I wish we could stop the links, but people keep posting them like throwing gravel against a wall...
