Today as we mourn the passing of Coach Bobby Bowden, I reflect on his amazing legacy not just as a coach, but as a man, a mentor and an incredible person of faith. Please join me in keeping his family in prayer during this difficult time. 🙏🏾

Weinke either! We have 3 Heisman winners from FSU and I am sure they can find a script for all of us! We may need to go to another car dealorship to get it done!😂😂😂🤔
I am grateful that I can call Coach Bowden a village dad! His health is declining but his impact will remain forever! Thanks Coach for giving me a chance to play QB, be a punter, and play basketball. Love you much sir!
🙏🏾 for his family as they go through the season of life!
I was so proud this weekend as my daughter Hope shared her gift of music as we celebrated the life of Coach Bowden. Here is a clip of her performing the viola. I encourage you to watch the whole memorial service for Coach Bowden ()

Coleman had a ridiculous debut on Sunday night that included 120+ receiving yards and three touchdowns.

As I turn a year older today, I am so thankful for God's gift of life. I am truly overwhelmed and humbled by the early outpouring of birthday wishes, especially from my amazing family. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! God bless!
Today was surreal as I returned to the field at Doak Campbell Stadium 25 years later to celebrate the anniversary of winning the heismantrophy. Thank you to all those that came out to…
It’s coach Norvell’s birthday!

Phenomenal and loving wife of 24 years. Devoted mother of my children. Life partner and best friend. I am blessed beyond measure to have you, Tonja as my wife. I celebrate you today and always. Happy birthday!
I encourage all Seminoles fans to come out to Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday as fsufootball takes on Alabama State. Help us send our seniors off right! Kickoff is at 12 p.m. Go Noles!

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love on my 50th birthday. By God’s grace I’ve lived to see another year and I’m grateful for His love, healing and mercy. I thank God for my beautiful family and friends. Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes. God bless!
How can you be a bust when you lead the league in yards! The guy has made his share of blunders on the field but he is still a great QB that will get another shot bc he can play! Like all of us we just need someone to see the talent and coach it up.
when i think of a bust at QB, i think of names like Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, Tim Couch even...Jameis is light years ahead of those guys!
Please wish a very happy birthday to my beautiful wife Tonja. I’m grateful for the life we’ve built together and more than grateful that God saw fit to bless me with you.
To my solid rock, my wife, and the mother of my children - I love you. Happy birthday!

Can we give this man a job? Come on people in management. We give guys second chances that have issues going on and this brother has done more community services work to help people and he can’t find a job in the NFL?

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. So grateful to spend the day with loved ones. I pray you're enjoying the day reflecting on all you have to be grateful for!
Well, well, well no holding calls on just those pictures alone is not good! I guess you refs said they can’t call every penalty if it happens every play! 🤷🏽♂️ They were playing the odds. Also that is the only way to block them. Our OL had holding penalties?

I’d like to send my condolences to FSU Basketball player Phil Cofer on the passing of his dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. 🙏🏾
He who finds a wife finds a good thing & obtains favor from the Lord. - Proverbs 18:22. I am so blessed to have a wife that is caring,supportive, & a great role model for our kids. Today is 24 years & she is still as beautiful & I still love her to the moon and back. Thanks, Luv!
I agree! He will be in the mentions early and then how he elevates the team with his play will help the team be the best we can! Are you back

To my lovely Tonja,
Happy 26th Anniversary! Your unconditional love invigorates me each day. Our 3 kids couldn't have asked for a more loving & caring mother. I'm so blessed & grateful for all that you pour into us daily.
Here’s to many more celebrations to come! I love you!

Grateful to have a support system that cares about the wellness of the kids and helping us achieve our goals as a program! The players and families have been a great blessing over my 4 1/2 seasons! Let’s keep it going and enjoy every moment of this journey!
Congratulations to Charlie Ward on winning his 100th game last night against Pine Forest High School.
Coach Ward has accomplished so much in first 5 years as the head coach of the Seminoles.

I was completely flattered & amused when I saw "The Rock" sharing his story with these two legendary quarterbacks during the Rams/Cardinals playoff game this past weekend. I definitely still remember that crunching hit from "The Rock" like it was yesterday. Ouch! cred: ESPN TV
Well it depends on who you are talking to about the win! We just have to keep improving and playing solid football and all the other stuff will take care of itself! A great road win bc everyone that has an investment in FSU was excited to win in Death Valley
Happy Birthday to my stunning wife, Tonja! You are a daily, huggable reminder of God's unwavering love. Our children and I are so blessed every moment that we have you in our lives. I pray that every day feels as special as your birthday because you deserve it! I love you!

This only made the team stronger. Get on board. We have a solid coach that has a great plan and staff working the plan. This type of miscommunication won’t stop the progress
I’ve been named the All-Big Bend Coach of the Year for boys basketball, but I don’t take credit for the honor. I dedicate the award to the entire varsity team and coaching staff. I’m proud of what we accomplished together this season.

Last night the Noles celebrated a win and my family got to wish my lovely wife a happy birthday on behalf of Noles Nation!
I think they got the W just for her!
Congratulations to Florida High on winning the 2019-20 3A District 1 Championship tonight. I’m proud of the work the team has put in this season. It’s an honor to coach such a great group of student-athletes.

A great message after a win that their expectations didn’t meet! Everything he said recognized that they didn’t play their best game but their goals are still in tack! They have to play better of course but the message was great! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Each and every week the guys go out and prepare to win. Today their effort paid off big time!
It takes a long time to build a mansion but, with today’s great win over

Congratulations to all of the Heisman Finalists as they anticipate the Heisman ceremony on December 11. Finalists, be sure to celebrate with your teammates and the community that undoubtedly boosted you towards this moment. You're all winners in my book. All the best!
I had the great pleasure of joining Florida State football this past weekend to host more than a dozen visitors. While I am extremely pleased with the caliber of talent showing interest in FSU, I was even more impressed by the early maturity shown of these young men.

Game winner in 1992 vs Clemson! It was a great comeback game! I threw 4 interceptions but our defense stepped up and kept us in the game until we were able to get it together. I know Kevin Jr will produce just as his dad did on this play!

Charlie Ward to Kevin Knox Sr. TD, Florida State.
The QB went on to become a Knicks point guard. The WR went on to be the father of the Knicks first round pick. Weird how life works like that.
Show up. As fathers, even if we do only that, we can make a world of difference. I learned this from my father & I pray my children learn the same from me. Happy Father’s Day to all the men who make their kids a priority & love them as they want, need & deserve to be loved!
It’s natural to feel sad about the end of our bowl streak, but we can’t dwell on it.

needs our support more than ever. The more motivation we give our guys to keep grinding & move forward, the faster they‘ll get back up. Let’s look toward next season & keep building

What a busy weekend! One of the highlights was attending the FSU Men’s Basketball Reunion. It was great connecting with former teammates from our 1992/93 Sweet 16 & Elite 8 team. I caught up with Bob Sura (and his son Braxton), Ron Miller, Michael Polite, and many more. Go Noles!
@Corey_Clark
He is definitely one of the great QB’s at FSU! We would love to add him to the Heisman and National Championship family as well! He is leading our group to meet those two accomplishments! Go Noles! Great QB’s make a team function at a high level no matter
We are 4-1 and everyone needs to improve each game regardless of the score. The coaches are working hard to improve each week as they spend long hours preparing a game plan for the players to execute. A lot missed opportunities in all phases! GoNoles
I‘d like to send my condolences to Mr. Burt Reynolds’ family & friends. It was a great honor meeting him at one of our

The struggle was real! 😂 I had to gain some experience and it came with some bruises but God helped me to endure by sending a great defense and teammates that had my back!
