Bobby Bowden Joe Quotations

I don't expect Joe to hang it up (retire), to be honest with you, ... He's still young at heart. He still seems to be in good health. I think this really rejuvenates him.

I am Exhibition B. Joe is Exhibition A. That's all we are. There's a game in there somewhere -- Penn State and Florida State are playing.

I look out there and see all these young guys around and wonder what my wife and I are doing there. Then I look at Joe and remember.

Joe is not with us and that's all that I can say about it.

Joe Paterno, to me, is maybe the greatest coach ever in my opinion. I mean that truly, and I said that 10 years ago.

I thought Joe was gonna tackle the dad-gum horse. I was gonna tell him, 'Go high on him, don't go low.' I remember Joe running out there and getting upset about that.

Joe and I both thought it was a great football game. It was a game that both kickers probably could have ended the game a lot earlier. We'd miss. They'd miss. We'd miss. They'd miss.

Yeah. I could hardly lose in that situation because Joe is showing the world it can be done. When everybody had given up on Joe, Joe showed it could be done. One play and he doesn't lose a game. I want to do the same thing. He enforced my thinking we can do it.

Weatherford has really gained from the first game of the year until the 13th game of the year. I coached against Joe when I was up at West Virginia and I saw those teams that dominate Eastern football. This team is as good as any of them and he hung in there with them.

It's been very easy for me to use Joe as a gauge because both of us are experiencing the age factor. Joe was pretty straightforward. He said, 'Don't let it get you. Stay with what you believe. Don't back down.

Sometimes you miss at the wrong time. Joe was having that problem for a while.

Sometimes you miss at the wrong time. Joe went through this, too.

I am an exhibit. Joe is exhibit A. There's a game somewhere. Penn State and Florida State are playing. We're just an exhibit.
