TK is a joke. He claimed he had some kind of agreement with the NCAA on settling their academic scandal case. The NCAA immediately said they had no deal and there was nothing in writing.
But Bobby was, first and foremost, the one whose behavior was disgraceful. His response about academic cheating? "I can't do nothing about that. It ain't my problem". What??!!
Time and time again Bobby put his own interests before the interests of the football program. Too much money is invested in the FSU football program for the administration not to even try to appoint the best head coach available. Bobby received nine years of goodwill for building FSU's football program. That's an awful long time provided, and an awful lot of money spent, on goodwill.
The only viable alternative for FSU was to offer Bobby one more season to perhaps avoid the acrimony accompanying Bobby's forced retirement. It would have probably meant more millions wasted, and another season of stalled progress, but if Bobby amicably resigned at the end of next season, it may have been worth it to endure one more year of senility in exchange for avoiding an acrimonious divorce. I'm sure that option was dicussed by FSU's administration, and the administration chose to remove Bobby immediately based on information of which we are not entirely privy. In any case, Bobby has received all the deference and goodwill from FSU he had coming to him and then some.
He's been more than well paid in money and honors by FSU for what he accomplished. And he brought his problems on himself by hanging around way past the time when a more honorable, less selfish man would have voluntarily resigned without being shoved.
If that wasn't bad enough, he lets his equally out of it wife run her mouth to any state or regional media outlet who'd listen, regarding how badly he was being treated and ignoring his job performance as a reason for the end of the Bowden lovefest in Tally.
When the Jeff-a-rooski blew up in his face, that was a perfect time to gracefully step aside with him, rather than allowing his son to be thrown under the bus alone and defiantly stand by as the vulture/coach in waiting was brought in, and surprise, surprise, things haven't really improved!Mickey Andrews gets a shoulder ride and a brand new truck in the last home game and Bobby gets a kick in the arse. Poetic justice? I wish they would burn the place down and start again. Next time, ask me how i really feel.
