I was excited when Bowden was initially hired and he had a good run, and did a great job bringing us back from the iCoachpocalypse. But the last couple of years... I don't know... something was different. He got lazy, or something. Recruiting was lackluster and virtually non-existent in NEO. That's just not acceptable. To give him credit, he did land Bubba out of HS, but, IIRC, we were his only D-1 offer. I still can't get over how excellent the offense was his first year with Dalton at QB. Bowden's demise, as has been pointed out ad-nauseum, was his undying loyalty to Milwe. God bless Bowden, loyal to a fault.

Bowden also did a crappy job recruiting/transfering his last couple years and left the closet bare. This is not going to be a quick rebuild. IMO.

He’s the A’s ace from Akron
