From the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper...
Corey Clark and Jim Lamar report:
Bowden ((pictured, thanks Tallahassee Democrat)) is expected to announce his resignation by way of a statement to be released Tuesday, sources told the Democrat.
As part of his retirement, Bowden is expected to be offered a non-coaching position at FSU for an unspecified amount of time. In addition to any settlement compensation that may be negotiated as part of his retirement, Bowden is also entitled to $1 million upon his retirement as part of a clause in his coaching contract that was agreed upon at least 10 years ago.
It is unclear if Bowden will coach the bowl game or not, but sources have said if he does coach one last game then the Gator Bowl may try to select FSU for its Jan. 1 game.
Bowden’s retirement means Jimbo Fisher will become the first head football coach FSU has hired in 34 seasons.
If this is indeed the case, it's a crappy way to go out for sure...
The entire "Coach-in-Waiting" concept is a joke, and a lot of people would venture to say that the FSU "Coach-in-Waiting" is one...
This means that Jimbo Fisher will clean house on one side of the ball- not his own...
FOSG Lee Gordon from WCTV-TV in Tallahassee has your evening update which still contains maybes and possibles for Bowden...

Florida State should do their best to keep Bowden around - he would do well for them in any capacity
You are wrong. Samantha is WRONG. Why the hell would Jimbo clean house on the ACC leading offensive side of the ball? It's amazing to me that some people share this thought that Jimbo taking over for Bowden is a bad thing. DO you like mediocrity? Be a Kentucky football fan if so. There's no room for that BS at Florida State.
