Hall of Fame college football coach Bobby Bowden has been diagnosed with a terminal medical condition, he and his family announced Wednesday.
Bowden did not disclose his condition in the statement.
The 91-year-old Bowden coached the Seminoles for 34 seasons before retiring in 2009 and is the second-winningest coach in Division I history with 357 victories. His teams won national championships in 1993 and 1999.
Separately, former Georgia and Miami football coach Mark Richt continues his early battle after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Richt says he’s in Stage 1 of the disease, but he admits issues with fatigue and problems with balance and motor skills. Richt suffered a near-fatal heart attack two years ago. As a college football head coach, Richt was 171-64 in 18 seasons.
