Still, only Penn State's Joe Paterno is credited with winning more games (409) as a major college football coach. “Bobby Bowden has meant everything to Florida State athletics and so much to college football in general,” Florida State athletic director David Coburn said.

Services were scheduled for Saturday at the Donald L Tucker Center, Florida State's basketball arena.
