Jeff Bowden, offensive coordinator of the Florida State Seminoles, resigned from his position earlier this week. But it didn't come cheap. It turns out he was paid an astonishing $537,000 (plus his $100K+ salary) to resign. But Florida taxpayers and donors don't worry, the boosters skimmed the money from concessions, primarily Coca-Cola. While I sympathize with the Florida State faithful for not reaching a championship game since 2000, you have to admit this is pretty hard core. Bowden is now in the Larry Brown class of money grabbers. And to think, for a few hours I believed that Jeff felt ashamed about the criticism and decided to take the heat off of his head coach/father, Bobby Bowden, by resigning with some dignity for the greater good. Yeah, I was tripping.
