Bobby Bowden announced on July 21 he had a terminal illness that his family later said was pancreatic cancer. He had been treated for prostate cancer more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

With charm and wit, Bowden piled up 357 wins during his 40 years as a major college coach, from tiny Samford \u2014 his alma mater, then known as Howard College \u2014 to West Virginia and finally at Florida State, where he went 315-98-4. The Seminoles were a force during his 34 seasons as coach, winning 12 Atlantic Coast Conference championships and national titles in 1993 and 1999.<\/p>\n
