Bobby Bowden dies. Former Florida State football coach had incredible impact on game.

Bobby Bowden, whose homespun charm and coaching savvy turned the Florida State Seminoles into a football superpower, died Sunday morning. He was 91.

Terry Bowden, son of the legendary coach, confirmed to The Associated Press that his father died at home surrounded by family. “It was truly peaceful,” Terry Bowden said in a text message to AP.

Bowden won more major-college games than anyone except Penn State’s Joe Paterno. He retired following the 2009 season with a record of 377-129-4, but the numbers don’t reflect the impact he had on college football in general and FSU in particular.
