tbgfan 856 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Terry Bowden to coach North Alabama FLORENCE, Ala. — Former Auburn football Terry Bowden returned to coaching Wednesday at Division II North Alabama. The 52-year-old Bowden, the son of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, brings a 111-53-2 record to North Alabama, which finished the 2008 season 12-2 and reached the semifinals of the Division II playoffs. The school said it would introduce Bowden at a news conference Thursday. Bowden replaces Mark Hudspeth, who left to become an assistant coach at Mississippi State. Bowden, who won his first 20 games at Auburn in 1993-94, has been working as an analyst on Westwood One's college game of the week. The family also includes Tommy Bowden, who quit as Clemson's coach at midseason in 2008 after a disappointing start. Terry Bowden was a running back at West Virginia and served as a graduate assistant at Florida State while earning a law degree. He was head coach at Salem College and Samford before taking over the Auburn program after the 1992 season. After an 11-0 season in 1993, the Tigers were 9-1-1 in 1994. He resigned in 1998 the day before a game and said he had been pressured to quit. Auburn officials denied applying pressure on Bowden. ___ December 31, 2008 - 10:54 p.m. EST Life has many choices---eternity has two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think Terry Bowden is a bit scummy, but I think it's long time that he got another chance. He's been away from the game for 10 years, am I right? I hope he makes the very best of this opportunity. If not, it'll definitely be his last.
