Friday, March 5 at 9 p.m. on WSRE, “Conversations with Jeff Weeks” welcomes former Florida State University head coach Bobby Bowden. By any measure, he is considered one of the greatest football coaches of all time. Bowden sits down with host Jeff Weeks to discuss his phenomenal career and some of the great players he has coached along the way. This frank discussion will give you a real insight into Bobby Bowden — the leader, the coach and the man.
Bowden's interest in the sport of football began while watching his neighborhood high school team practice in Birmingham, Alabama. His knowledge of the game grew as a quarterback at Samford and from watching and listening to the legendary Bear Bryant. His skill and creativity were honed on the coaching staffs at South Georgia Junior College, FSU and West Virginia. Bowden's remarkable FSU career began when he took over the Seminole program in 1976. Since that time, he developed the most consistently successful program in the history of college football. FSU won more games in the decade of the 1990s than any other program. The win over Wake Forest on October 25, 2003 allowed him to become the all-time winningest major college coach. But it has been his combination of leadership, vision, talent and magnetic personality that flourished at Florida State, raising the program from perhaps its lowest point to the national powerhouse it is today.
“Conversations with Jeff Weeks” is a half-hour, weekly series that is “personality-driven,” featuring in-depth discussions with unique individuals and leading newsmakers from all walks of life. The program airs every Friday night at 9 p.m. on WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast with a repeat the following Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. Upcoming guests: Jerry Pate, Dr. Lonnie Paulos and Britt Landrum, Jr.
