Do I think God is going to win football games? Oh no. I never prayed to God to help us win a game. I would pray for the safety of the players. I would pray that they would do their best. I think God will answer that. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
A boy needs a male figure, and the girls do, too. Somebody to discipline them and make them be a man. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
Football has always been a big part of my life. Almost from the day I was born, playing and coaching football were all I really ever wanted to do. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
A guy’s who has all the money he needs and never faced any hard times, he won’t have any character. But when you’ve had it tough and you’ve had it rough and you thought you were at the end of the rope and you work your way out of it, that’s the way you build character. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
The Bible is big in my teaching. It’s a wonder the ACLU didn’t get after me pretty good. I really kept thinking they would. I took my boys to church. I took my football team to church. I only did it two times a year. Before I signed a kid, I’d write the parents and I’d tell that parent we were gong to take your son to church twice. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
You can live by biblical principles, and you can teach by those principles and still be a winner. So many coaches think you’ve got to kick your players in the rear end. You’ve got to cuss them out. You’ve got to hit them across the head. No. You don’t have to do that. Bobby Bowden Read Quote
