TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Major college football's winningestcoach, Florida State's Bobby Bowden, has agreed to a new contract
for a 33rd season at the school.
University officials say the school also will significantly
increase offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher's salary package with
an eye toward having him eventually succeed Bowden, who is 78.
The deal hasn't been officially signed yet, and is still being
finalized by the university and attorneys for both men.
Bowden's 373 career wins are two more than Penn State's Joe
Paterno, who turns 81 later this month.
Bowden has 300 wins at Florida State, where he has won a pair of
national championships and a dozen Atlantic Coast Conference titles
during his 32 years at the school.
Bowden was paid about two million dollars in 2006.
