That certainly means he can't get fired, right?  :)  I mean, in the  
entire history of college football there's bound to be quite a few  
names.  In the more modern era, not being fired is becoming rare as  
ADs see the firing of the coach and the hiring of the new "savior" as  
a quick-fix strategy.

Yep...total brain/keyboard lapse.  At least they sound the same.  I  
wonder if Bobby will be able to "retire" without getting fired.  Will  
be interesting to watch.  FSU hasn been "OK", but not excellent for  
awhile now.
