Bobby Bowden: Mark Richt right man for Miami Hurricanes job

[IowaCane16]

“Miami is a unique job,” Bowden said. “It’s a private school, rather than a state school, it’s surrounded by good football players. Like when Howard Schnellenberger went there, if you can get the local stars to stay at home, they can be as good as anybody.

“It’s always been the feeling of the coaches at Florida State and Florida that whoever controlled Miami (recruiting) controlled the state. That’s what Jimbo has done lately.”

I feel dirty reading that.

But he is 100% right.

Bobby is in his twilight years; but make no mistake, he was a **** of a football coach and still has a **** good football mind.

He wasn't like some other state school that became afraid to play us. In an interview, he jokingly said that he wanted his tombstone to read, "At least I played Miami".

He's dead on here.

Fact! I am not saying player development and scheme problems were not an issue the last 10 years in Miami, but we have missed on many top prospects from South Florida.
