Bowden built that program, and while I do believe it was time for him to retire, I think the entire situation was handled shabbily. First off, you have the leak from the Trustee. Then this half baked "ambassador" job. Does he put on a Seminole vest and welcome people like a greeter at Wal-Mart? Wrong, so wrong. I also have a brother living in Florida (Gator season ticket holder - but he is my brother, sigh) and he is apopletic about the thought of Urban going to South Bend. He has admited to me that between graduation and losing players to the pros, the Gators are going to have, to use his words, a "dry" year. This and having Tebow of Nazareth graduate and make the planet a better place makes Urban's move to South Bend plausible. Whatever, was IS important is that from this entire coaching miasma The Buckeyes benefit.
