I'm tripping over my joy.
Jeff Bowden resigns after 13 season on Seminole football staff.
Nov. 14, 2006
Statement from Head Coach Bobby Bowden
"I am disappointed in Jeff's decision. I tried my best to encourage him to stay the course, but he was
firm in his belief that it is time to move on. This is a big loss to me personally. I would hope that everyone
understands that his decision is an emotional one for me and for that reason I'm not going to discuss it any
further at this time."
Statement from FSU Director of Athletics Dave Hart
"Jeff (Bowden) initiated this conversation with me within the past day or so. At that point, we were on a
parallel plane of mutual understanding and agreement that this decision was in the best interest of all concerned
and a public announcement should be expedited.
Everyone associated with our football program expresses appreciation to Jeff for his dedication to
Florida State University and we wish him nothing but the best."
