Bobby Bowden Booking Agent Details
Bobby Bowden is a retired college football coach whose career began in 1954. One of the most renowned football coaches in NCAA history, he led the Florida State Seminoles from 1976-2009, capturing National Championships in 1993 and 1999. Winner of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award in 1980, Bowden’s Seminoles captured 12 ACC titles under his watch, including nine straight from 1992-2000.
Bowden began his 55-year coaching career at Howard College (now Samford University) in 1954. He served as athletic director at South Georgia State College from 1956-58 before returning to Howard, where he coached the football team to a 31-6 record between1959-62. He coached wide receivers at FSU for three seasons before taking the offensive coordinating job at West Virginia in 1966, a role he served through 1969 before becoming head coach in 1970. Under Bowden, the Mountaineers were 42-26 and won the 1975 Peach Bowl.

His overall head coaching record was 377-129. Bowden has been active in philanthropic causes such as the Children’s Hunger Fund and has had the Bobby Bowden National Collegiate Coach of the Year Award named in his honor.
