I didn't realize the extent of Bowden's coaching activity until last night. On several occassions, he was shown on TV at the other end of the field from the action. He's got a guy that follows behind him with a headset, but it's not on very much, and he's generally just watching the game. It seems obvious that he doesn't do much during the game.
In the fourth quarter when we took our biggest lead, he asked for the headset and starting talking. A few minutes later they show Fisher, and he's talking into the headphones looking annoyed. Cut back to Bowden and he's still on the headphones later. Then, Bowden is yelling at the field and at Amato twice. All of this happens during the fourth, when we finally stop FSU.
It seems like Bowden is not coaching, he's just weighing in when he feels like it. He's just watching the game but not into the game at all. Then he jumps in? That is a recipe for disaster, and explains to me why they can't put things together. They've got to have huge coaching conflicts over there.
To me, this is why the "coach in waiting" is such bull****. Fisher is probably getting undermined, but Bowden probably feels like he's being replaced before he's really replaced. Total cluster.
