FLORIDA STATE TRADITION BOWDEN TIES THE BEAR
With FSU’s 30-17 Gator Bowl win over Virginia Tech, Seminole Head Coach Bobby Bowden garnered his 323rd career victory which put him in a tie for second place on the alltime wins list with football legend Bear Bryant. Bryant was influential on the coach of a very young Bobby Bowden, who took over the Samford program in Birmingham at about the same time that Bear began coaching at Alabama. Bowden, a Birmingham native, grew up an Alabama fan and spent a great deal of time studying the Crimson Tide program and the coaching methods and philosophy of Bear Bryant.
MANNING & WEINKE NFL’S TOP TWO ROOKIE PASSERS
Current Carolina Panther and former Heisman Trophy winning Seminole quarterback Chris Weinke threw for 2,931 yards during his rookie year in the NFL. His 2,931 yards passing ranks as the second highest total by a rookie in league history behind only Peyton Manning’s 3,739 yards in 1998 with the Indianapolis Colts. Weinke threw for a season-high 312 against St. Louis in week 13 and threw for 200 or more yards six times. He threw for a careerhigh two touchdowns against New Orleans in week five and San Francisco in week nine.
SEMINOLES IN JANUARY BOWLS
Florida State has played in 11 consecutive January bowl games and has a record of 8-3 (.727 winning percentage) in those games. The Seminoles have played for the national championship five times during that span. The Seminoles defeated Nebraska in the 1994 Orange Bowl and defeated Virginia Tech in the 2000 Sugar Bowl to win the school’s first two national championships. With their 11 consecutive appearances in January bowl games, the Seminoles hold the nation’s longest active January bowl participation streak.

Florida State kicker Xavier Beitia converted his final 30 kicks during the 2001 regular season (field goals and extra points) and did not miss a kick during the final five regular season games of the season. Beitia’s streak began in the fourth quarter of the Seminoles’ 43-7 victory over Virginia with a 31-yard field goal with 7:54 remaining in the game. He would go on to add two extra points to close out the game and the victory. Beitia made his final eight field goal attempts of the 2001 season. His field goal streak began in the first quarter of the Virginia game. He begins the 2002 season with a with an extra point streak of 22 consecutive made. Beitia’s streak of 30 consecutive kicks without a miss covers 21 quarters. Beitia earned All-ACC second team honors and was named a freshman All-American by Football News.
The Bill Peterson era as head football coach at Florida State University was a time of great offensive innovation and also a time of many firsts for the upstart Seminole program. Some of these firsts included being the first Seminole coach to beat the Gators at Florida Field, coaching the program’s first All-American in Fred Biletnikoff and recruiting James Thomas, the first black player to ever play football at FSU. A tradition of the Seminole football team during the Peterson era was that the first thing the team did as it entered the field was to run through the goal posts. In that era, all goal posts were mounted on two legs in the style of an “H” thus allowing this Seminole tradition. As a tribute to the players and coaches of the Peterson era and their many firsts, “H” style goal posts have been added to the field at Doak Campbell Stadium and will forever more be referred to as “Pete’s Posts.”

EARLY START
When Florida State meets Iowa State on August 24th, it will mark the earliest date that the Seminoles have started a season. Prior to this year, FSU’s earliest game was August 26th vs. BYU in the 2000 Pigskin Classic. On the flip side, the latest the Seminoles have ever started a season was in their inaugural season in 1947 when Florida State met Stetson on
October 14th. Overall, Florida State has played an August game seven times and is 70 in those contests. The Tribe has also never played more than one game in August – until this year!

While freshmen sensations P.K. Sam and Craphonso Thorpe had stellar rookie campaigns, the Seminoles will be more than happy to welcome back two veteran receivers from injury this season. The return of Robert Morgan and Anquan Boldin will provide sophomore Chris Rix two more reliable targets for an FSU offensive attack that already finished second in the conference without two of its top three returning wide-outs in 2001. Boldin and Morgan combined for 1030 yards, 60 receptions and nine TD’s in 2000. With Talman Gardner and his 11 TD’s and 649 receiving yards returning for his senior season, this might be the most firepower FSU has ever returned in one season as far as receivers go. The 1999 group of Peter Warrick, Ron Dugans and Marvin Minnis combined for more yards (2186) and receptions (121) but three fewer TDs (17). The only other group that even comes close to the trio of Gardner-Morgan-Boldin is the 1988 group that consisted of Seminole returnees Terry Anthony, Bruce LaSane and Ronald Lewis. Anthony, LaSane and Lewis combined to catch 81 passes for 1140 yards and 13 TDs. PLAYERS(YR) Warrick, Dugans, Minnis (1999) Boldin, Morgan, Gardner (2002) Anthony, LaSane, Lewis (1988)

WILLIAMS NAMED ACC’S TOP BLOCKER
Florida State tackle Brett Williams was selected as the recipient of the 2001 Jacobs Blocking Trophy. The Jacobs Blocking Trophy has been awarded annually since 1953 to the player voted the outstanding blocker in the ACC in a poll of the league’s defensive coordinators. Williams, a dominating offensive tackle who has started in each of his three years at Florida State, had one of the most impressive seasons ever for a Seminole offensive lineman in 2001, not giving up a single sack while allowing only one pressure and was called for just two penalties. He led the team in the three major offensive line categories — a season grade of 91 percent and 48 total intimidations (pancakes).

Junior Darnell Dockett, who is regarded as one of the top interior defensive lineman in the country, recorded a school-record 22 tackles for loss in 2001 and is already second in career tackles for loss with 34. He’s among good company as the previous single-season record for tackles for loss was 17, set by former Seminole greats Ron Simmons and Corey Simon. Simmons, who played from 1977-80, holds the career record with 44. Against Georgia Tech, Dockett tied the FSU singlegame record with five tackles for loss.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON — WYATT SEXTON
After a record-breaking career under center at Tallahassee’s Leon High School, Billy Sexton went on to enroll at Florida State to play quarterback. His senior season, he became the starting quarterback at Florida State University. He coached at his alma mater (Leon) and then worked his way up the ranks as a member of the Florida State coaching staff. Along the way he had a son who had a record-breaking career at Tallahassee’s Leon High School and enrolled at Florida State to play quarterback. Wyatt Sexton, first-born son of FSU running backs coach Billy Sexton, hopes his career will continue to follow his father’s. Wyatt threw for 2,193 yards, 19 TDs and passed for over 2,900 yards and 28 touchdowns as

The transition from FSCW, which was regarded as one of the nation’s top colleges, to the new institution was remarkably quick and the development of an athletics program was almost as rapid. 1947: Florida State University fielded a football team in 1947 coached by Ed Williamson.

1960-70: Florida State’s arrival on the national map occurred during Bill Peterson’s 11 seasons as head coach. He came in 1960 when free substitution was still five years away in the game. He moved FSU boldly into the forefront of the passing game and led the Tribe to its biggest win yet when they topped No. 5 Kentucky 48-6 in 1964. He would post a 62-42-11 record in Tallahassee. Among a host of other things, Peterson developed the concept of the “hot receiver” in 1964 that remains in most offenses today.

FSU’S HEISMAN HISTORY

The Heisman Trophy room at the Downtown Athletic Club has a distinct Florida State flair with portraits of Chris Weinke and Charlie Ward on display as the two winners from FSU and the ACC. FSU has a strong history with the trophy. Here’s where FSU players have finished in the Heisman balloting.
After fielding one of the youngest teams in school history in 2001, Bobby Bowden returns a more experienced group in 2002 as only seven starters must be replaced. FSU lost just six starters in 1999 and went on to go undefeated and win the national title. The 1993 national championship team lost just nine starters from the previous year.

GARNET AND GOLD MEETS BLUE AND GOLD
Football at Florida State began Oct. 18, 1947 with Stetson paying a visit to Tallahassee for the first football game in school history. Beginning with that date and that opponent, 75 different institutions have battled the Seminoles in Tallahassee. FloridaState played at Capital Stadium near the Tallahassee fairgrounds for three years before Doak Campbell was built in 1950. The Seminoles have an all-time record of 214-68-4 for a winning percentage of .755. Florida State was 8-4-0 (.750) in three years at Capital Stadium for an overall home record of 222-70-4 (.757). The Seminoles’ game against Notre Dame will be the 300th home game in the history of the program. Notre Dame has played on the home field of 70 different institutions and on 37 different neutral fields, but the Irish will play at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee for the first time in school history Oct. 26.
HELLO RECRUITING, CAROL SPEAKING
Florida State’s 2001 recruiting class has been named the best in the nation. A quick look at some rankings of the classes over the years shows a strong correlation with FSU’s success. It helps that FSU is in such rich recruiting territory. According to Orlando Sentinel guru Bill Buchalter, over 350 Florida high school players signed football scholarships to either Div. 1A or 1AA schools. Here is a list of FSU class rankings since 1990. 1990 #2 Allen Wallace, Max Emfinger 1991 #2 Allen Wallace, Max Emfinger, Tom Lemming 1992 #4 Tom Lemming; #6 Max Emfinger; #8 Allen Wallace 1993 #1 Allen Wallace, Max Emfinger, Tom Lemming 1994 #1 Max Emfinger; #3 Allen Wallace 1995 #2 Max Emfinger, Tom Lemming, Allen Wallace 1996 #2 Max Emfinger, Tom Lemming; #5 Allen Wallace, Bobby Burton 1997 #1 Allen Wallace, Bobby Burton; #2 Tom Lemming 1998 #4 Allen Wallace; #5 Bobby Burton; #6 Tom Lemming 1999 #10 Tom Lemming 2000 #3 Allen Wallace, Max Emfinger; #4 Tom Lemming 2001 #1 Tom Lemming, Bobby Burton, Allen Wallace, Max Emfinger 2002 #3 PrepStar; #5 Max Emfinger, CNNSI; #8 Tom Lemming
JEFFERSON-EPPES
Thomas Jefferson, former U.S. President and the founder of the University of Virginia, was the grandfather of Francis Eppes VII. Eppes, three-time mayor of Tallahassee, was a long-time president of the Board of Education of the Seminary West of the Suwannee, the institutional forerunner of what is today Florida State University. To commemorate this bond, the two schools play each year in football for the Jefferson-Eppes Trophy. Inaugurated in 1995 when Uva handed the Seminoles their first ACC loss in football, the trophy has resided in Tallahassee each of the last six seasons. The trophy comprises a silver pitcher, presented to Eppes in 1842, set atop a wooden base crafted from the remains of Uva’s massive McGuffey Ash.
TWO-SPORT STANDOUTS
Deion Sanders set the standard for two-sport stars at Florida State. The all-everything college cornerback became a media sensation as he balanced successful careers in the NFL and Major League Baseball. Deion was probably the most high-profile two sport athlete in American history and he no doubtedly influenced one or two other future Seminoles. Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke played professional baseball before enrolling at FSU and then going on to start for the Carolina Panthers as a rookie. Charlie Ward and Brad Johnson each played quarterback for the Seminoles and then in the off-season moved over to the hardwood and joined the FSU Basketball team. Ward went on to star for the New York Knicks while Johnson stayed with football and started for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001. Current Seminole star Javon Walker was drafted by the Florida Marlins in 1997 and spent one full season and two summers with the organization. Walker got as far as Double AA with Portland (Maine) of the Eastern League. In addition, current Seminole kicker Brett Cimorelli signed with California after high school and spends his summers pitching in the Angels organization.
OH BROTHER!
There are two sets of brothers on this year’s Seminole squad. The Williams’ brothers, Brett, a senior All-America candidate and redshirt freshman Blake, both play offensive line. The Sam brothers also play the same position. Sophomore P.K. returns as a contender for starting honors at split end, while wide receiver Lorne will be a true freshman this fall. Some of the other brothers who played football at FSU at the same time include Joe and Henry Ostaszewski, Zack and Henri Crockett and Billy and Bobby Rhodes.
MISSION POSSIBLE
Seminoles Michael Boulware and Paul Irons will have spring break stories to tell for years to come after what they did last March. The pair participated in a mission trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, to help start a Champions for Christ ministry with the His People Christian Church.
OSCEOLA & RENEGADE
Perhaps the most exciting tradition in all of college football occurs in Doak Campbell Stadium when Osceola charges down the field riding an Appaloosa horse named Renegade and plants a flaming spear at midfield to begin every home game. The tradition was born on September 16, 1978 against Oklahoma State when a student wearing Native American clothing led the team from the tunnel riding a horse. Since the beginning of the FSU tradition, three different horses and 10 different riders that have actually appeared at a game. However, there have been a total of 16 horses trained in the Renegade program, including Tonka and Spiderman, who are the understudies of current Osceola mount, Sharky. The original Osceola and Renegade were Jim Kidder and Reo. For the past 19 years, the horses have been trained by local businessman Bill Durham, who also trains the riders. This season will make the first that he has passed the torch to his son Allen. The clothing and rigging that Osceola and Renegade wear were designed and approved by the Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida.

Florida State would play two games in 1947 before students demanded the school acquire a symbol. While details conflict, most believe the account of a poll of the student body is accurate. The Florida Flambeau reported that Seminoles had won by 110 votes over Statesmen. The rest of the top
contenders (in order) were Rebels, Tarpons, Fighting Warriors, and Crackers. In the 1950s, a pair of students dressed in Native American costumes and joined the cheerleaders on the field which eventually evolved into the majestic symbol of Osceola and Renegade that FSU now enjoys. Today, the Seminole Indian Tribe participates in many campus activities. Florida State University is proud of its longstanding cooperative relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The Seminole people have suffered many hardships and injustices, but they have remained brave, dignified and proud. The Seminoles are unconquered. They symbolize what we hope will be the traits of all of our graduates, including our student-athletes. We know you cannot win all of the time on the playing field or in life, but we want our students to be unconquered and always ready to try again.
SEALEDLOCKERS
The retirement (or permanent sealing) of lockers in the Florida State locker room began after Deion Sanders’ senior season in 1988. Former equipment manager Jimmie Callaway and associate athletics director Andy Urbanic came up with the idea to add more tradition to the area. The criteria for locker retirement allows only the dressing area of two-time consensus All-Americans and/or Heisman Trophy winners to be retired. Ron Simmons (1979-80), Deion Sanders (1987-88), Marvin Jones (1991-92), Sebastian Janikowski (1998-99), and Peter Warrick (1998-99) have had their lockers sealed as two-time consensus All-Americans while Heisman Trophy winners Charlie Ward (1993) and Chris Weinke (2000) have had their lockers retired. The lockers are encased in glass with the player’s final home uniform and gear intact — right down to the sweat bands!
TALK ABOUT A BARGAIN
Bobby Bowden signed his first contract as head coach at FSU on January 12, 1976. The four-year deal called for a salary of $37,500 per year. Many did not know, however, that Bowden actually interviewed for the FSU job in 1970. It went to Tennessee assistant Larry Jones who was 15-19 over three seasons before he was succeeded by Darrell Mudra in 1974.
GARNET & GOLD
TOMAHAWKS
Florida State’s coaching staff and academic staff award tomahawks to individual players for great plays or contributions on the field and in the classroom. Players may get a tomahawk for a crucial play, a score, a touchdown saving tackle or various other achievements on the field. In 1997, the Seminoles began receiving tomahawks for outstanding academic achievements as well. The tomahawks look identical except the word academics runs down the handle of the tomahawk. What many fans don’t know is that Florida State players can lose tomahawks as well. Poor performance on the field or in the classroom can cause a player to be stripped of the coveted decals.

WAR CHANT
Florida State’s “war chant” appears to have begun with a random occurrence that took place during a 1984 game against Auburn, but in the 1960s, the Marching Chiefs band would chant the melody of a popular FSU cheer. In a sense, that chant was the long-version of FSU’s current “war chant.” During a thrilling game with Auburn in 1984, the Marching Chiefs began to perform the dormant melody. Some students behind the band joined in and continued the “war chant” portion after the band had ceased. Most agree the chant came from the fraternity section, but many spirited Seminole fans added the hand motion to symbolize the brandishing of a tomahawk. The chant continued among the student body during the 1985 season, and by the 1986 season, it was a stadium-wide phenomenon. Of course, the Marching Chiefs refined the chant, plus put their own special brand of accompaniment to the “war chant”, for the sound we hear today. The Atlanta Braves fans took up the their version of the song and chant when former FSU star Deion Sanders came to the plate as an outfielder. The Kansas City Chiefs first heard it when the Northwest Missouri State band, directed by 1969 FSU graduate Al Sergel, performed the chant while the players were warming up for a game against San Diego.
FSU FIGHT SONG
While the War Chant has become familiar at FSU games, the Florida State fight song still remains the definitive sound of Seminole sports. FSU’s band became the Marching Chiefs in 1950 and with that came the fight song. Tommy Wright, a member of the faculty in the School of Music, was perturbed that the Seminoles had been using “On Wisconsin” and the “Notre Dame Victory March” so he introduced the song in the Sewanee game, setting to music a poem by FSU Alumni Doug Alley.
GIVING BACK
Florida State’s athletic department has a strong commitment to giving back to the community and last Christmas the members of the football team took over 250 underprivileged children shopping courtesy of Premier Construction. The Florida State University Athletics Life Skills/ Student Development Department coordinates FSU’s considerable community service outlets. Last year, student-athletes donated a total of 3,768 hours of community service and each one is asked to perform 20 hours of community service each year.
MR. FOOTBALL + MR. BASKETBALL = MR. McPHERSON
Sophomore quarterback Adrian McPherson is not only a standout on the gridiron, he also starred on the basketball court at Bradenton Southeast High School. McPherson, who attended the same high school as Peter Warrick and Tommie Frazier, became the first player in state history to earn both the Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball titles during his prep career. McPherson threw for 3,727 yards on 217 of 355 passing (61%) with 42 touchdowns and rushed for 765 yards and eight more TDs as a senior quarterback. He averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists per game during his senior basketball season.
SEMINOLE TRADITION
Florida State’s school colors of garnet and gold date back to the Florida State College championship football teams of 1904 and 1905. In those championship seasons, FSC donned purple and gold uniforms. When Florida State College became Florida Female College in 1905, the football team was forced to attend the University of Florida. The following year the FFC student body selected crimson as the official school color of 1905. The administration in 1905 took crimson and combined it with the recognizable purple of the championship football teams to achieve the color garnet. The nowfamous garnet and gold colors were first used on an FSU uniform in a 14-6 loss to Stetson on October 18, 1947.

SCHOLARSHIPS IN ’51
It was not until 1951 that Florida State began to grant athletic scholarships. The move put added pressure on the program to win. FSU left the Dixie Conference and membership in the Southeastern Conference was denied. Interestingly, it was the University of Florida that sponsored FSU for admission to the SEC.
ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN

FOOTBALL SINCE 1902 ACTUALLY
Florida State College did, in fact, play football during the 1902-1904 school years and played well indeed. The first game in 1902 was a 5-0 win over South Georgia Military on November 21 when touchdowns were worth five points. The NCAA nor the governing body at the time recognizes the early games for FSC, although the school won the state championship in ‘04. The 1904 season included a 23-0 win over Florida in Lake City. The school then became the Florida State College for Women and would remain one of the nation’s top all-female institutions until the large number of returning veterans from World War II triggered the state system to open Florida State University to men in 1946. The school resumed football in 1947, taking on Stetson in its first game.
STADIUM HAS GROWN
The football home for the Seminoles since 1950, Doak S. Campbell stadium, was named after the popular Florida State president who was instrumental in the development of intercollegiate athletics at the new university. In order to help finance the stadium, a five-year season ticket was offered for $50.00 and FSU players helped paint the stadium at $1 per hour. FSU’s “new” Doak Campbell Stadium seats 82,000 fans and is considered one of the finest facilities in the country. Doak Campbell is currently the 14th largest stadium in the country.
IN THE NFL FRONT OFFICE
While there were more Seminoles playing in the NFL last year than any other school, some of the most prominent FSU alumni are moving into the front office. Edgar Bennet, who played for Green Bay and Chicago, was named the Director of Player Programs for the Packers. Outstanding NFL player Martin Mayhew has retired as a player, but is now the Director of Football Administration/Staff Counsel for the Detroit Lions. Former FSU and Cleveland Browns defensive end Derrick Alexander’s career was cut short by injury, however he remained with the team and is now a pro and college scout for the Browns.
TALK ABOUT A GROWTH SPURT
Milford Brown enrolled at Florida State in December 2000 from East Mississippi Junior College. The 6-4, 315 pound offensive guard from Montgomery, Alabama will begin his first year at FSU as the man to beat for a starting position. No one would have guessed that a few years ago. As a high school junior, Brown was 5-6, 160. “I always knew I could play, but I was too small and nobody ever gave me a chance,” said Brown.
SEMINOLE FIRST TO SCORE TWO
The late Vic Prinzi, who is a member of the Florida State Hall of Fame and was the color commentator for the radio network until his death in 1997, was the first college player ever to score a two-point conversion. In 1958, the Seminoles took the season-opening drive of the Tennessee Tech game on September 13th in for a touchdown and Prinzi, playing quarterback, ran in the two-point conversion to beat the other national games by just minutes.
NUGENT AND I
Florida State’s football program has had a wonderful list of great coaches including Dr. Don Veller, Bill Peterson and Bobby Bowden. The program first gained a reputation for innovation under its third head coach, Tom Nugent, who took over in 1953 and coached until 1958. Among Nugent’s many “unconventional” strategies was the I-Formation (which he started at FSU) and the typewriter huddle which is still used by many teams today.

11 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Florida State’s women’s programs were brought to national prominence in the early 1980s when the Seminoles earned five national championships in four sports within a four-year period. The golf program earned the AIAW championship in 1981 while the softball team had backto-back AIAW titles in 1981 and 1982. The women’s track and field program ran away with the 1984 NCAA Outdoor and 1985 NCAA Indoor championships. Florida State’s other national titles include men’s gymnastics in 1950-51 and again in 195152. The men’s volleyball team won the national championship in 1955 and 1957, while football claimed their No. 1 rankings in 1993 and 1999.
HOLLYWOOD ‘NOLES
FSU football has had its share of “characters” over the years, but did you know that the program has produced a celebrated history of television and movie actors, including Academy Award nominee Burt Reynolds. Reynolds, for whom the former athletic dorm was named, was a highly-regarded running back from West Palm Beach. Former Seminole football player Robert Urich, an Emmy-winning actor best known for his starring roles in sleuth series such as “Vega$” and “Spenser: For Hire,” died April 16, 2002 of cancer. He was 55. Urich suffered from synovial cell sarcoma, a rare cancer that attacks the body’s joints. He underwent chemotherapy, radiation treatments and two operations in the mid-1990s to combat the cancer. He earned his first television role in the 1973 comedy series “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” He also appeared in the TV series “S.W.A.T” before being cast as Peter Campbell in “Soap.” One of Urich’s most recognizable roles came as private detective Dan Tanna in “Vega$,” which ran on ABC from 1978 to 1981. His knack for solving crimes led to the starring role in another ABC detective series “Spenser: For Hire,” which was based on Robert Parker’s novels. That series aired from 1985 to 1988. Born in Toronto, Ohio, Urich earned a football scholarship and earned a bachelor’s degree in communications at Florida State. Urich won an Emmy in 1992 for his narration of the cable documentary “U-Boats: Terror on Our Shores.” That same year, he also won a Cable ACE award as host of the National Geographic series “On Assignment.” He is survived by his wife; three children, Allison, Ryan and Emily; two brothers; a sister; and his mother. Paul Gleason, a teammate of Reynolds, is also a very successful actor who has played a number of memorable roles including that of Clarence Beaks, the maligned courier of crop reports in “Trading Places” and the assistant principal in “The Breakfast Club”. Danny Green played at FSU from 1971-73 and starred on the big screen in “Elvira – Princess of Darkness” and “King Pin” among other films. Victor Rivers is best known for his acting in movies such as “The Mask of Zorro”, “Two for Texas”, and “Amistad”. Notable TV guest appearances also include: “JAG”, “Miami Vice”, “CYBIL” and “Star Trek/Deep Space Nine”. Victor was a member of the ’73-76 Seminole teams and was a team captain and scholar-athlete. Upon graduation from FSU in 1977, he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins and played in 1978 and 79 - making him the first Cuban rookie to be given such an opportunity. Sonny Shroyer is an actor most notable for his role as “Enos” on the popular hit TV Series, “The Dukes of Hazzard” 1979-1985. Sonny has appeared in many movies including “The Color of Love: Jacey’s Story”, “The Gingerbread Man”, “Wild America”, “The Rainmaker” and “Forrest Gump”. While at Florida State, Sonny was a member of the 1954 FSU Football team.

IF YOU’RE INTO VIDEO FOOTBALL
The EA Sports College Football 2003 season will feature a public address voice that should be familiar to fans of college and NFL football in the south. Longtime FSU radio announcer Gene Deckerhoff recorded all the public address announcements that will play during the video game. Deckerhoff, who is also the play-by-play announcer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL, spent two days in Orlando recording every possible combination of public address announcements that might be called for during agame. For fans of video sports who are really into it, there is another Seminole connection. Each year a major sports video company places a number of sensors on a live “model” who uses his own creativity and knowledge of the game to perform all the endzone dances, taunts and cheers that the video players use on the field. The model for that over the last three years has been former FSU and St. Louis Rams wide receiver KevinKnox.
THAT’S WHAT THE PLATFORM IS FOR
For the last two years the plaza on the north end of Langford Green just outside the stadium has been empty. That should all change during the 2002 football season. For the last two years, artists have been working on a 32-foot tall statue that will be unveiled during this football season. The statue, which is titled “Unconquered”, is being kept somewhat of a secret but should serve as a focal point on game days for years to come.
SEMINOLE TRADITION
FSU’s sod cemetery holds chunks of the field from great Seminole road wins. In 1962, the team captains of the Seminole football team returned to Tallahassee with a piece of sod from San-ford Stadium as a trophy from the team’s 18-0 victory over the University of Georgia. The turf was presented to Dean Coyle E. Moore, who founded the continuing tradition of the sod game. The sod cemetery began when that first piece of sod was buried in the corner of the Florida State practice field and a monument was placed to commemorate the road victory. See the complete list on page 204.

F
rom a maximum capacity of 15,000 in 1953 to a record crowd of 83,042 against Florida in 2000, Doak S. Campbell Stadium has risen alongside the Florida State football program to the top of the college football ladder. With the final phase of construction completed, Seminole fans are welcomed with stateof-the-art additions. The newest portion of the stadium is the south end zone, where the last bricks have been placed on the exterior of the stadium wall and the interior received its final finishing touches. The south end zone houses the Florida State school of hospitality education where students in the program receive hands-on experience in various aspects of the food and beverage industry. The multi-level facility includes a food court, a restaurant and a sports grill on the top floor that gives a panoramic view of Doak Campbell Stadium. The north endzone, which consisted of wood bleachers until the 1994 season kicked off, is topped by the offices of the football coaches. The offices are just part of the Daisy Parker Flory wing of the Moore Athletic Center which include a number of amenities for the football staff. An even more drastic change is currently taking place as the new north endzone building is under construction to be ready by the start of the 2003 football season. Towering above college football action from the east side are skyboxes which stretch from goal line to goal line. New

skyboxes are located above the west stands on the eighth floor. The west addition also houses the president’s level on the seventh floor (which includes an open air terrace in the northwest corner) and one of the largest press boxes in college football with seating for over 250 members of the media. A brick facade surrounds the stadium, matching the architectural design of most of the buildings on the Florida State campus. The University Center surrounds Doak Campbell Stadium and houses numerous offices that were located on the interior of the FSU campus. Inside Doak Campbell, the lowest tier of field level seats were removed, providing increased sideline space and better viewing lines for the first few rows of fans. A matching brick wall was constructed along the east and west sidelines, limiting field access, increasing safety and giving the inside of the stadium a whole new look. In its last 86 home games, FSU is 81-41. Bobby Bowden’s Florida State teams have lost only 18 games at home in 26 years, giving the coach an impressive 13218-2 record and an .875 winning percentage in Tallahassee. A milestone was reached on September 28, 1996 when Bowden won his 100th game in Doak Campbell Stadium as FSU’s head coach with a 13-0 victory over North Carolina. But the winning tradition of Doak Campbell Stadium, which was named
after former FSU president Doak S. Campbell, goes back before Bowden. All-time, Florida State is 214-68-4 in 284 home games for a winning percentage of .755. Since the stadium opened on Oct. 7, 1950 with Florida State University taking a 40-7 victory over the Randolph-Macon Yellowjackets, millions of fans have packed Doak Campbell to see the finest in college football action. In 2001, Florida State set a single season attendance mark by drawing 488,645 fans over six home games. The latest expansion is the ninth in the history of the stadium. The current capacity of 82,000 reflects an increase of 21,481 since the end of the 1991 season. Florida State first began play at Centennial Field during the inaugural 1947 season. In the three seasons that the Seminoles called Centennial Field their home, FSU had an overall home record of 8-4, including Coach Don Veller’s undefeated 8-0 home mark over the 1948 and ’49 seasons. It’s hard to imagine the first Doak Campbell Stadium, with a capacity of 15,000 back in 1950. In 1954, the stadium grew to a capacity of 19,000. Six thousand more seats were added in 1961. During the Bill Peterson era (1960-70), the stadium was expanded to 40,500 seats, and it remained at that capacity for the next 14 years. Between 1978 and 1982, there were three more additions. The field itself is one of the finest in

STADIUM CAPACITIES SINCE 1950 college football, carefully managed and manicured year-round. A prescription athletic turf (PAT) system installed in 1988 and completely resodded three years ago, quickly alleviates drainage problems through a series of underground pumps. The field can go from flooded to merely wet in a matter of minutes, thanks to the pumps, which allow a deeper root system in the natural turf. The 1999 season marked another new addition to Doak Campbell Stadium as FSU unveiled the War Board video system. The big screen presentation is crystal clear and allows game day producers to show highlights of games all over the country to Seminole fans watching their team in the stadium. With the changes already made since last season, Doak Campbell is growing and improving faster than ever before. Like its residents, the most successful college football program over the past decade, Doak Campbell Stadium has become a fitting showcase for Florida State University.

FSU’s entire offensive line returns.
Tech, it’s a good test because they’ve got a great program up there and you’re playing a good team.❞ ❝If you’re going to put pressure on a specific group and tell them they’ve got to be the guys that lead us, then the offensive line is the one you’d like to have go out and do it. If they block people, everybody can run the football and everybody can throw the football. Blocking is such a key. I think how far we go offensively this year will rest in the hands of those offensive linemen.❞ ❝Chris Rix made progress in the spring.
2002 OUTLOOK
❝I thought we had a good spring. The bad part was that we had a lot of kids who had to miss because they had surgery. But injuries were at a minimum otherwise.❞ ❝The big thing we were trying to do during spring practice was to make everybody get better fundamentally — blocking, tackling, catching, not fumbling. I thought every kid made some improvement. All of our quarterbacks made some improvement too. The rotation didn’t change any, but it was a good spring.❞ ❝Last spring was strictly a spring of unknowns, of question marks. We were trying to solve those questions and I think

as the season progressed, we did. This year is just the opposite. We’ve got so many starters back that we kind of know where we are and it’s just a matter of trying to get every person to be better at their position. Then, we must get the chemistry right.❞ ❝I felt real good about the last two games last year against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl. I felt like we were back on schedule when we played those two games. It gave us some momentum going into the spring and now we can take that into the fall. I think our boys gained a lot of confidence with those wins and they kind of showed us where we stood. When you play Virginia
Chris Rix was ACC Rookie of the Year.
Adrian McPherson made progress as well. So did Fabian (Walker) and Matt Henshaw. I thought Chris Rix ended up having a real good year last year. He should go into this year with more confidence than he had last season. He’s got all the tools. He is very gifted, but he’s got to improve his decision-making. I think that’s a matter of maturity. It will come with him and it will come with the other guys as well.❞ ❝Going into last year, we had three starters back on defense (LB Bradley Jennings, FS Chris Hope, RV Abdual Howard) and this year we have all the starters back but those three, so we are much further along. I thought the defense had a good spring. The first scrimmage we had in the spring, it looked like our defense of old. They just shut down the offense completely. Every scrimmage after that the offense began to move the ball and I don’t know exactly what that means except that it looks like we’ve got more work to do. We’re veterans now, these kids are veterans. If they can just improve and get the scheme under their belt we should be much improved defensively.❞ ❝We didn’t have the pass rush last year that we’ve had in previous years and one of the reasons for that is we used more zone blitzes. We rushed more often with three men, or four men, than we have in the past and that makes getting to the passer tougher. This year I’m sure we’ll send more people hunting, trying to get those sacks, because we feel like our cornerbacks have a year’s experience now and we should be able to cover better man-to-man which would allow us to go after the passer more.❞ ❝Xavier Beitia had a great freshman year and he had a great spring. He kicked
a 51-yard field goal in the spring game and kicked one from 50 in the bowl game against Virginia Tech. But the amazing thing about him is his accuracy. He was 16-of-17 last year when you include the bowl game.❞ ❝We’ve got a great schedule and we’re playing more games (13) than we ever have. We are going to really have to watch ourselves about how we go about this. We will play two games in August
and usually we don’t play any in August. Our schedule is very tough. I never thought I’d see the day that we have Notre Dame in Tallahassee, but we’ve got them here. Florida has a new coach, but it’s still Florida and I don’t expect that to change. Miami comes off a national championship and we play down there so that’s been pretty close to impossible for anybody over the last 10 years or so. We didn’t win the ACC last year for the first time and changing that will be a priority.❞

Quarterbacks B
obby Bowden has coached 26 football teams at Florida State, but never one with a freshman at starting quarterback for the season-opener as he did last year. The good news for FSU fans is that Chris Rix showed he certainly has the talent to be the next great quarterback for the Tribe, and he also showed the competitive fire and leadership Adrian McPherson skills that coaches look for in a signal caller. The charge to Rix since winning the ACC Rookie of the Year award following a freshman season in which he ranked among the top 10 nationally (8th) in passing has been fairly simple — cut down on the mistakes. Rix’s miscues were perhaps fewer than most freshmen quarterbacks but under the microscope of the Seminoles program and with a young team not able to cover up the mistakes, his stood out. Coaches love the fact that he never got down on himself and fans can’t get enough of his daredevil races out of the pocket. However, both Bowdens and quarterback coach Daryl Dickey will be looking for Rix to stay in the pocket and use his head more than his feet in 2002. If he does that, he’s already shown that he has tremendous ability to lead a team. Rix may spend some time
looking over his shoulder in the fall as he did this past spring. Sophomore Adrian McPherson is right behind Rix and should make even more improvement this preseason. McPherson throws a beautiful ball and has impressed coaches with his raw talent as well. He too must learn to be patient as a quarterback, but has already proven his talent can win at this level. Florida’s first-ever Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball, he hopes to play hoops for Leonard Hamilton when the fooball season is over. Sophomore Fabian Walker is a junior college transfer who went through spring drills in 2001, which provided him with a chance to knock some of the rust off and learn the FSU system. He came on over the last half of spring practice to play much better and will be in the mix as fall drills begin. Redshirt freshman Matt Henshaw served notice in the spring game that he was also in contention at the quarterback position. He connected on a 55yard bomb in the garnet and gold game and just missed on another to show that he was ready to make a move as well. BOTTOM LINE: Florida State coaches expect significant improvement from Rix and McPherson as both are much more comfortable in the system. Rix will be tough to beat out as he has performed extremely well under pressure, but FSU coaches have the luxury of depth at the all-important position.

Wide Receivers The consummate team player for the Seminoles, Anquan Boldin was a highly touted high school quarterback who moved to WR to fill a need as a freshman. He also worked at quarterback last fall but moved back to WR when Robert Morgan injured his knee in pre-season which left the position thin.

W
hat a difference a year makes must be the theme that Jeff Bowden quietly hums to himself these days. Last year, Bowden’s job looked difficult enough as he was taking over the offensive coordinator’s position at FSU at a time which just happened to coincide with the departure of a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback in Chris Weinke, four-year starter at tailback in Travis Minor, a wide receiver who led the nation in yards per game in S n o o p Minnisalong with a tight end and three offensive linemen. Add to the mix the fact that Talman Gardner he would take over play-calling duties with a freshman quarterback for the first time since the elder Bowden took overtheprogram26yearsago. Then, just in case the offense was not facingenoughuncertaintygoinginto last year, the two starting wide receivers (Anquan Boldin and Robert Morgan) were both lost for the seasonwithkneeinjuriesjusttwoweeks before the first game. Trial by fire seems an understatement under those conditions. The best place to start a look at the 2002 receiving corps is with
the two guys who missed all of last season. Junior Anquan Boldin and senior Robert Morgan should be 100 percent healthy when fall drills begin and with a solid preseason camp should be the starters when the Seminoles travel to Kansas City to take on Iowa State. Both are talented and bring big game experience to the receiving corps — an element that was lacking until Javon Walker got enough experience last year. Both Boldin and Morgan excel at catching the ball in traffic and Boldin, at 236 pounds, may be the most physical receiver FSU has had in years. Another blessing Bowden has this year in contrast to last season is depth. The trio of junior Talman Gardner and sophomores Craphonso Thorpe and P.K. Sam will be chomping at the bit for playing time. All three possess breakaway speed and all produced in the clutch last season. The wealth of talent means Florida State should be able to use some formations that they simply could not a year ago. Adding experienced depth to the unit are former walk-ons Joey Kaleikini, a junior, and senior Travis Smith along with a significant influx of talent from the recruiting class. BOTTOM LINE: The Seminoles should be able to field a lot of talent and depth at the wide receivers positions in 2002.

Running Backs
2002 OUTLOOK
T
he offensive coaching staff emphasized improving the running game as the 2001 season approached and the emergence of Greg Jones at tailback to compliment Nick Maddox gave the coaches something to work with as the season progressed. By the end of the year, FSU had found a Nick Maddox power running game reminiscent of the late 1980s when Sammie Smith carried the mail. It seems the emphasis will be the same in 2002, as Florida State will lean hard on the running game with all five offensive linemen returning and a bevy of talented tailbacks. The big question mark will be who will clear the way at fullback. Greg Jones pounded opposing defenses for a team-high 713 yards on just 134 carries last season. The 6-1, 243-pound junior hammered a tough Virginia Tech defense for 120 yards on 23 carries in the Gator Bowl win. He gained over 100 yards in four of the last seven games of the season to give him momentum heading into his junior year. Jones’ combination of brute strength with break-away speed should give defenses, already stretched thin by the Seminoles’ multi-formation offense, a tough assignment. He will be the starter as fall drills begin. Senior Nick Maddox was FSU’s second leading rusher in 2001 with 438 yards on 98 carries and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield makes him a lethal weapon for the FSU offense. Also pushing for playing time this year will be redshirt freshman Willie Reid who was lighting it up as a true freshman in the preseason last fall before an injury cost him the entire year. Coaches are excited about his big-play ability and elusiveness in the open field. He too can catch the ball from the backfield. Senior Lemar Parrish should provide depth at running back, as will sensational recruits who will have to prove themselves in pre-

season camp before the redshirt is taken off. Fullback is an area of strong concern for FSU because of a lack of experience. Redshirt freshman B.J. Dean showed promise in learning the position after moving over from linebacker just prior to spring drills. Another walk-on, junior P.J. Selvidio, may be the most consistent of the trio coming into the fall. Redshirt freshman James Buchanan is anxious to show coaches what he can do, but injuries kept him on the sidelines all of last year. BOTTOM LINE: A wealth of good running backs and a talented and experienced offensive line should mean that Florida State can exploit defenses set up to stop the vaunted passing attack.

split side is senior Milford Brown who made quick work of dumping his rookie tag last year after transferring in from a junior college. Brown may have been FSU’s most ferocious run blocker and should get even better with another year of technique work. Coaches knew from his work as a backup in practice that Antoine Mirambeau had the talent to be successful and he finally got a chance to prove it as a starter on the field last year. He spent this past spring trying to show coaches that he also could carry the mantel of leadership from his center position, which is asked to do a lot in the FSU system. Montrae Holland comes off one of the most effective springs ever for an FSU football player and he appears ready to contend for All-America honors as well. At 6-3, 336-pounds, he has the size to move people out of the hole in the running game and the weight that allows him to stand people up in pass blocking. Sophomore Ray Willis wears a look of determination just about wherever he goes and once he got a chance to start at tight tackle last year he simply refused to let go. He has the talent and the demeanor to be a tremendous player for the Seminoles for the
next several years. Todd Williams will use the fall to try and unseat the youngster to get his position back and he backs up the effort with the best spring of his FSU career. The backups at the offensive line position are all young (none older than a sophomore) but talented and ready to make a move. Tight end might be the thinnest position on the offense going into 2002 but coaches are hoping
that senior Patrick Hughes plays to his potential and a season free of injury would certainly help him with that. Sophomore Paul Irons brings some unique talent to the position and he could win the starting job if Hughes is not solid in preseason drills. BOTTOM LINE: With all five starters returning, the Florida State offensive line could be one of the finest in school history.

lorida State’s success in 2002 probably starts and stops right here with the offensive line. While it’s cliché to say that you win football games on the line of scrimmage — it’s also true. That being the case, FSU has as talented and experienced a group along the offensive front as they have had in years. Led by All-American and Outland Trophy candidate Brett Williams, the Seminoles return all five starters from last season along with senior Todd Williams who will be trying to regain his starting spot before the season begins. Montrae Holland Brett Williams (66, 310, senior) earned preseason Playboy All-American honors going into the 2002 season and finished last year as the best blocker in the ACC as voted on by opposing coaches. With nagging injuries behind him, Williams has the talent to emerge as one of the finest linemen FSU has ever produced. He returns to the split tackle position after starting all but two games there over the last two seasons. Next to Williams on the

lorida State’s defensive front returns intact from last season and, in fact, the Seminoles return six of the seven starters among last year’s front seven (linebackers and defensive line). The return of a veteran group should mean that the defensive unit gets on track sooner than it did a year ago, although the Gator Bowl proved the attacking style was still there. FSU’s sack numbers were way down last year and part of the reason for that was a more conservative scheme deAlonzo Jackson signed to relieve some of the pressure on inexperienced cornerbacks in pass coverage. However, FSU coaches will be focusing a lot of their attention on this unit in the fall as they did in the spring with an emphasis on returning the ferocious pass rush to the game plan. Leading the defensive line will be All-America candidate Darnell Dockett who should dominate play during his junior season from his defensive tackle spot. Strong, quick and agile, Dockett looks more like a linebacker when he is pursuing the ball. He matured on the football field last season and showed coaches he had the desire to win that is fundamental to a great player. He missed all of spring after a knee injury suffered in the Gator Bowl, but should be 100 percent once the season begins. Down in the trenches along side Dockett once again will be junior Jeff Womble who also had a fine season last year. Excellent at defending the run, Womble showed pass-rushing skills over the second half of his sophomore season last year that will allow coaches to try some new things this season. Talent abounds behind the interior stars as well. Redshirt freshman Donnie Carter is listed at second team behind Womble and he is joined by talented senior O.J. Jackson giving coaches a chance to keep a rested player in the lineup. Sophomore Travis Johnson brings excellent experi-

Allen brings a wealth of experience to the job with over 10 years experience as a collegiate coach. He was a graduate assistant on the FSU staff for the last two years working with the secondary and special teams.

Church, whose blocked punt proved to be a pivotal play in the Gator Bowl win. Senior Robert May enters the fall as the backup to Hudson at middle linebacker, but junior college transfer Nate Hardage will get a chance to show coaches if he is ready during preseason scrimmages. Ray Piquion, a sophomore, and Corey Collier will compete for reserve roles behind Boulware. The preseason drills will be interesting at this position as well, as a number of very high profile recruits will be in the mix for the first time with the hope of earning early playing time with the linebacking unit. BOTTOM LINE: Florida State will have the luxury of depth at linebacker and both Kendyll Pope and Michael Boulware are hoping for AllAmerica type performances. The combination should make the linebackers a much more effective unit than a year ago.
Kendyll Pope
2002 OUTLOOK
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
SUlinebackerscoachJoeKines is another of the assistants on the FSU staff whose challenges have moved 180 degrees from last year. A year ago, he pushed a razor thin linebacking corps through a season with two rookie starters on either side of a solid veteran. This year, Michael Boulware and Kendyll Pope will enter the season as potential stars at their strongside and weakside linebacker spots, respectively. However, veteran Bradley Jennings has left after three years as the starter at middle linebacker. Both Boulware and Pope entered FSU as players who experts expected to become great players and both have put the work and dedication into becoming just Jerel Hudson that. With experience has come the ability to cut it loose for the duo rather than focus on mistakes and that seemed to be the key over the second half of last season. They provide the 2002 team with exceptional talent at the positions. The Gator Bowl win over Virginia Tech did a lot for overall team morale at FSU, but no place was it more satisfying than among the linebackers. Senior Jerel Hudson was thrust into the starting role at middle linebacker over the last two games with an injury to Jennings and his trial by fire proved to be just the motivation he needed. He played very well against both Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech and carried the confidence into the spring where he emerged as the starter leading into fall drills. Junior Allen Augustin also learned a lot about himself and gave coaches increased reason for optimism by playing spectacularly in his first-ever start in the Gator Bowl. The former walk-on did not learn he would start until Pope could not complete warmup drills before the game, and he responded with outstanding play. He’ll begin the year as Pope’s backup along with Marcello

he good news for coach Mickey Andrews is that he has four veteran cornerbacks returning who have all seen considerable action for the Seminoles. The bad news is that the middle of the field must be guarded by inexperienced players with the departure of All-ACC free safety Chris Hope and rover Abdual Howard. One of the keys to the success of the defense that Florida State likes to play it is to put constant pressure on the opposing offenses. To do that, FSU’s corners press Rufus Brown and play man-toman defense, which leaves them on an island. Last year, FSU coaches were reluctant to put a unit with only one player older than a sophomore through that pressure. This year, starters Stanford Samuels and Rufus Brown, both juniors, will have plenty of help from senior Malcolm Tatum and sophomores, Leroy Smith, Dominic Robinson and Bryant McFadden. The combination of overall experience and the leadership skills developed by Samuels in particular should mean success for the cornerbacks. The rover position was the site of one of the most intense battles of the spring and that should carry over into the fall. Sophomore
ClaudiusOseiemerged in April at first team rover with fellow sophomore Jerome Carter right on his heels. Both proved to be big hitters who answered quickly when asked to fill in this spring. They will both contribute a lot in 2002. Sophomore Kyler Hall may have the most power per pound in FSU’s lineup this year as he spent all spring winning the free safety position by laying out wide receivers with practice-halting hits. He showed flashes of brilliance on special teams as a true freshman last year and appears headed for an outstanding career at free safety. JuniorYohanceBuchanan is listed just ahead of B.J. Ward, who moved back over from receiver in the spring, to add unusually talented depth to the position. BOTTOM LINE: Mickey Andrews has the numbers and the type of players he likes in the secondary heading into 2002, which for the past 18 years has meant that he will craft one of the best defenses in college football once they get their legs underneath them.

Xavier Beitia
he most overlooked player in college football last year might have been FSU place kicker Xavier Beitia (pronounced SahV-ed Bay-THE-uh) who missed just one field goal attempt all season as a true freshman. He has been nothing short of remarkable and finished strong with a 50-yard field goal against Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl bested by a 51-yarder in the spring game. Beitia’s accuracy and consistency has impressed coaches and changed their philosophy a bit once they cross midfield. He also has the temperament that inspires confidence among his peers who defer to his nickname “X-man” when referring to their rocketlegged teammate. Also back for his senior year is punter Chance Gwaltney. He’s all the way up to weighing 172 pounds and will use his final summer to build strength and size needed for the chore. Pushing him will be freshman Chris Hall who has impressed coaches in practice. “Having your kicker and punter return seems unusual,” said Bowden. “Italwaysseemslikewe’re trying to find one or the other throughout preseason practice so that is a relief. Having a kicker as accurateasBeitiaislikehavingafifth ace in the deck. I like that.” BOTTOM LINE: Rising sophomore Xavier Beitia missed only one field goal as a rookie last season and joins with returning starters Chance Gwaltney (punter) and Brian Sawyer (snapper) to give the Seminoles experience on all their special teams units.

egendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden begins his 27th season at Florida State in 2002. When he took the job back in 1976, he likened his new association with FSU to a marriage even adding the familiar phrase of “letting no man put it asunder”, which surely reassured even the most downtrodden Seminole fan. And most of the fans were disheartened because 27 years ago, Bowden inherited a program far from the dynasty that he now commands. In fact, FSU had only won four games over the previous four seasons combined and there was serious talk that perhaps the school should shelve the program unless it was more successful. The most optimistic of FSU fans could not possibly have predicted what Bowden would accomplish over the next three decades. The coach himself hints that he was not sure he could turn the program into a national power. “When we started winning I started to get some interest from other schools and from some NFL teams,” Bowden has admitted on several occasions. “I had some chances to move to

other schools with great football tradition. LSU was a job that I looked at long and hard. We were playing them that season and I told Ann that if we go over to Tiger Stadium and lose maybe I should go to LSU. When we went to their place and won, I realized that maybe we could get it done right here at FSU. And I’ve never regretted it.” Bowden’s loyalty has meant the world to Florida State University and its’ athletics program. He has developed the most consistently successful program in the history of college football and is poised to pass Bear Bryant with his first win this season to become the second all-time winningest coach in college football history. Part of the secret to Bowden’s success in his long run at FSU is that the elements of the job that seem to turn into chores over the years for most coaches — recruiting, speaking engagements, public functions, press responsibilities — come easily for Bowden. “I feel great physically,” said Bowden who will turn 73 this season. “I’ve always been a people person. I enjoy getting to know people, so the recruiting is still a lot of fun for me. I like going into a player’s home and meeting his parents and family. I don’t have any desire to slow down on all the elements outside of the actual game that some people find hard. I understand why it grinds away at some people, but it just doesn’t on me. I guess I’ve always been able to put football in its place.” While Bowden will be in his familiar garnet and gold to start the 2002 season, it will be a distinctly unusual start as the Seminoles are coming off their first “down” year in 15 years of winning 10 or more games. “We weren’t satisfied with our season last year, but people are surprised when I tell them that I really enjoyed

coaching that team last year,” said Bowden. “The mistakes we made were usually because of youth and not lack of effort. When you’ve got players who have talent and will give you effort, you’ve got a chance to be successful. We’ve got that combination going into 2002.” The Seminoles’ win over favored Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl on January 1st finished the 2001 season on a positive note. The win also gave Bowden his 323rd career coaching victory and tied him with another legend, Bear Bryant, for second all-time in college football wins. FSU’s next win will set up a chase between he and Penn State’s Joe Paterno to reach the all-time mark. Bowden would rank second only to Eddie Robinson in total career wins, ahead of Bryant and Paterno, if his 22 wins as South Georgia College were included. “To be honest, it doesn’t really feel like I should be there,” said Bowden of the potential feat. “It’s not something that I sat down 40 years ago and said ‘you know if I coached long enough and was successful maybe I could get there”. That type of thought never entered my mind. I don’t

really think about it. Maybe when I’m done I’ll look back on everything.” While Bowden hasn’t spent much time looking back, most of the nation has spent time looking in at his program, which has had such extraordinary success. Just imagine a college basketball program advancing to the Final Four for 14 years in a row. Even more startling is the thought of playing in the national title game five times in eight seasons. But that’s just what the Seminoles have done over the last few years. FSU set an NCAA record with 14 straight Top Five finishes and the 2001 Orange Bowl was the Tribe’s third straight national title game and fifth in eight years. Gracious in both victory and defeat, Bowden is a man at peace with himself. His rock-solid character and firm coaching principles date back more than 48 years. As if the fact that his coaching numbers have reached legendary proportions is not enough, he also gives Florida State University a proud moral leader, a family man of the first order, a caring disciplinarian, and a calming voice in the face of the turbulence surrounding college football. Perhaps the best tribute to the man is that he is not afraid to change with the times adapting brilliantly to new ways of winning games, as well as dealing with young student-athletes. From a sense of discipline and control, to a bold switch to the Fast Break offense, he has proven that he would rather stay one step ahead of the rest of the field rather than rest on the status quo. Like few other coaches before him, Bowden has created something of a monster that sits squarely on his shoulders. He has coached his Florida State teams so very close to perfection that people have come to expect the moon. He has won 167 games over the last 16 seasons, including monumental wins over Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Florida and others. In the fickle world of “big-time” college sports, some forget what it is all about. Sure, Bobby Bowden is proud of his two national championships, his place among the all-time greats, and a football program that is the model for the entire country, but as Bowden well understands at this stage of his career, there are things more important in life. He has time for charity and to give to his church. He has never walked past an admiring child without a wink and a smile. He greets total strangers. He listens and he cares. He is a father figure in the traditional sense. One of Bowden’s greatest coaching achievements revolves around bowl games and his team’s success in them. Bowden’s 18-6-1 record and .740 bowl winning percentage rank first all-time. Only Paterno (20) has won more bowl games and his is the only name ranking ahead of Bowden on the all-time Division 1-A coaching list. Indeed, Florida State’s eighth head coach has inked his name on the list

of legends over 37 seasons at Samford, West Virginia and FSU. What Bobby Bowden means to Florida State University off the playing field cannot be measured. Respect, sincerity, class, honesty, charisma, charm and humor; just a few of the words that describe and define this man better than wins, losses or coaching records.

Bowdenachievedimpressivenumbers in his previous coaching stops (31-6 at Samford University in Birmingham between 1959 and 1962, and 42-26 at West Virginia from 1970-75), but what he has done at FSU is simply phenomenal.

The2002GatorBowlmarkedtheSeminole’s 23rd since his arrival, including a string of 20 in a row and 16 “New Year’s Day” trips. He is, by far, the winningest coach ever at Florida State as his win total is greater than the previous seven Seminole head coaches combined. Florida State is the only school to finish among the (Associated Press) Top Five for 14consecutiveseasons.TheSeminolesfinished first twice (1993, 1999), second twice (1987, 92), third, four times (1988, 89, 97, 99), fourth, five times (1990, 91, 94, 95, 96) and fifth in 2000. No team in college football history can match the run. Overthepast10years,FloridaStatehas played in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Since joining the league in football, FSU is 76-4 and has claimed nine ACC championships and set the league record for consecutive victories. Bowden picked up ACC Coach of the Year titles in 1993 and 1997. Rising above Bowden’s coaching accomplishments, though, are his credentials as a man.

strongly in the strength of the family. He loves people. His personality and charm are bigger than life and he has become somewhat of a folk hero. An engaging speaker, Bowden is constantly in demand and most free evenings will find him on the speaking circuit. His off-season travel schedule would exhaust anyone. Sunday morning will usually find him in the pulpit of a church somewhere in the south. Outside of football, Bowden has an intense interest in World War II history and he is a voracious reader on the subject. He traced his ancestry to parts of Germany and has visited the country several times. Bowden was an outstanding football player at Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Ala., and went on to Alabama as a freshman quarterback, fulfilling a lifelong dream to play for the Crimson Tide. He lasted one semester in Tuscaloosa before high school sweetheart Ann Estock lured himbacktoBirmingham. Theysoonmarried and Bobby transferred to Howard College (now Samford University) in Birmingham. The two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaryinthesameyear(1999)thatFSU won it’s second national championship and Bowden coached his only undefeated team, which was the first team ever to go wire-towire as the AP No. 1. Bowden’s family has always been most important to him. The nation can follow son Tommy’s career as head coach at Clemson as well as son Terry, who is ABC’s top college football studio analyst. The Bowden’s oldest son, Steve, is in private business in Birmingham and cowrote a book entitled “The Bowden Way” with his dad that hit the Wall Street Journal’s best seller list. Youngest son, Jeff, begins his seventh season on the FSU staff and his second as offensive coordinator. The four boys, daughters Robyn Hines (who is married to Clemson linebacker coach Jack Hines) and Ginger Madden, and 21 grandchildren make up the Bowden clan.

lorida State’s rise to its current position as the most successful program in the history of college football directly correlates with the arrival of Mickey Andrews as defensive coordinator. FSU’s offense has long been national championship caliber, but it has been Andrews’ ability to catch the Tribe defense up with the offense that has made the Seminole program the powerhouse that it is today. So it is fitting that Andrews will add the title of Associate Head Coach when he takes the field this fall. Andrews’ status as perhaps the nations finest coordinator is not just shared by Bowden and every FSU fan. Andrews

YEARS AS A COLLEGIATE COACH: 36 COACHING STOPS: Erwin High School (Birmingham, AL) - Assistant Coach (1965-66) Eastern Kentucky - Offensive Backs (1966-67) Livingston - Assistant Coach (1967-1970); Head Coach (1970-72) North Alabama - Head Coach/Athletic Director (1972-76) Clemson - Defensive Coordinator (1977-80); Assistant Head Coach (1980) Florida - Defensive Backs (1981-82) Arizona Wranglers (USFL) - Defensive Coordinator (1983) Florida State - Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs (1984-present); Associate Head Coach (2002-present)
was named the recipient of the first-ever Frank Broyles Award, which is given to the nation’s top assistant coach, in 1996. Andrews directed the nation’s top rated rushing defense in 1996 and his units have been among the top five nationally against the run in six of the last nine seasons. His 1998 defensive unit ranked No. 1 nationally in total defense and pass defense. In addition, the Seminoles ranked a close second nationally in rushing defense and scoring defense. In 2000, FSU ranked among the country’s top 15 in every major defensive statistical category. Under Andrews’ direction, Florida State has become the top producer of All-America and NFL caliber cornerbacks in the nation. He has coached two players — Deion Sanders (1988) and Terrell Buckley (1991) — who have won the Jim Thorpe Trophy, given annually to college football’s top defensive back. LeRoy Butler joined those two as a consensus AllAmerica pick in 1989. Clifton Abraham was an All-American in 1994 and Corey Sawyer in 1993 — which means the Seminoles had an All-American at cornerback each year from 1987-94. Tay Cody was a consensus All-America selection as a senior in 2000 and he was preceded by AllPro cornerback Samari Rolle of the TennesseeTitans. Andrews’ defenses feature an attacking style up front that puts pressure on the opposing offense. He is also a big believer in creating depth and uses as many as 40 players a game. In 1991, Athlon’s Magazine named him the Assistant Coach
of the Year and in 1998 he was named the national Defensive Coordinator of the Year by the American Football Coach’s Magazine. Andrews came to Florida State from the Arizona Wranglers of the old United States Football League (USFL), where he spent one season as defensive coordinator after having spent the previous 17 years coaching in the collegiate ranks. Andrews’ coaching resume includes stints at Eastern Kentucky, Livingston, North Alabama and two of the teams that appear on the Seminoles’ 2002 schedule. He was Clemson’s defensive coordinator from 1977-80 and was an assistant at Florida in 1981-82. From 1972-76, Andrews was the head coach and athletic director at North Alabama. He was the head coach at Livingston University from 1970-72 where he won the NAIA national championship. A star on the football field and the baseball diamond for Alabama from 196164, Andrews earned second team AllAmerica honors as a wide receiver and defensive back. During his career, the Crimson Tide won a pair of national championships (1961, ’64) and played in three New Year’s Day bowl games. In addition to his football honors, Andrews was an All-SEC choice in baseball. In 1964, he received the Hugo Friedman Award as the Tide’s best all-around athlete. Andrews and his wife, Diane, have two children — Ronnie and Shannon — and four grandchildren.

illy Sexton has been a familiar sight on the sidelines of Florida State football games since 1973 and this year he adds the title of Assistant Head Coach to his coaching resume. The Tallahassee native started his career at FSU as a player for the Seminoles and went on to become a graduate assistant coach in 1977 and then a full-time coach in 1979. With the departure of 27-year veteran Jim Gladden from the coaching staff, Sexton is now the veteran of the Bowden assistants. He will add a number of administrative duties in his newly expanded role. The 2002 season already appeared to likely be special to Sexton, however, as his son Wyatt joins the team as a freshman quarterback. This season will be Sexton’s 26th as a staff member at the school and his 20th as the Seminoles running backs coach, where a slew of pros have learned and refined their skills under the former FSU quarterback. Sexton coached Warrick Dunn who became Florida State’s all-time leading rusher in 1996 and finished his career with 3,989 yards. Sexton has seen 12 of his pupils taken in the draft since 1988, including first rounders Dunn, William Floyd (San Francisco49ers,1994),DexterCarter(SanFrancisco 49ers, 1990) and Sammie Smith (Miami Dolphins, 1989). Also among Sexton’s former pupils are All-American Greg Allen, who broke 26 school records during his FSU career and Edgar Bennett, of the Green Bay Packers. Travis Minor was a four-year starter at tailback and was selected by the Miami Dolphins in 2001. Since 1983, Sexton’s running backs have become one of the most effective components of the FSU offense, averaging nearly six yards per carry and over 10 yards per catch during those 19 seasons. Florida State’s backs have earned a reputation for being sure-handed receivers. SextonjoinedtheFloridaStatestaffasa graduateassistantin1977, BobbyBowden’s secondyearastheFSUmentor.

eff Bowden enters his second season as the offensive coordinator for the Seminoles after guiding a very young offensive unit last year. Bowden took over for Mark Richt in February of 2001 when Richt left to become head coach at the University of Georgia. The task of getting the offense together looked daunting enough without a coaching change as the Seminoles would have to replace Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke, four-year starting tailback Travis Minor and five other starters. But the job got even more challenging in the preseason when both starting wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Robert Morgan were lost for the year. In addition, Bowden would ask a redshirt freshman to run the quarterback position for the first time in his dad’s 26 years at FSU. Given those circumstances, the 2002 season would appear to have fewer potential potholes than did last year. Bowden was tabbed as the new offensive coordinator after coaching the wide receivers at FSU for the previous six years. He continues to coach the wide receivers in addition to his coordinator duties. Bowden is his dad’s equal in terms of welcoming a challenge. His confidence is justified as his work has been fruitful since he first began at FSU. Under Bowden’s direction in 1997, E.G. Green earned second team Associated Press All-America status and he finished with more receiving touchdowns (29) over his career than any previous FSU receiver. Four years ago, Green teamed with Andre Cooper to become the first duo in FSU and ACC history to each register over
50 FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
1,000 receiving yards. Six years ago, Kez McCorvey finished a career that made him the second most prolific receiver in school history. Just three years ago, Peter Warrick broke Green’s FSU record and set a new ACC record with 31 career TD catches. In 2000, Snoop Minnis earned consensus All-America honors and was selected in the third round by the Kansas City Chiefs. Last year, Javon Walker topped off an excellent two-year career with FSU with the MVP trophy from the 2002 Gator Bowl win over Virginia Tech. Bowden’stransitiontoFloridaStatewas a smooth one nine years ago when he left a SouthernMississippiprogramwherehehad served as receivers coach for three years. As a player, his FSU teams played in three bowl games. Following his playing career, Bowden moved immediately into coaching at Salem College in West Virginia upon graduation from FSU. He was the receivers coach for two seasons under brother Terry and was promoted to offensive coordinator in his third year. After a year back at FSU as a graduate assistant, Jeff rejoined Terry at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. He was the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator in 1987 and added the title of assistant head coach from 1988-90. He is credited with guiding the career of Division III AllAmerica quarterback Jimbo Fisher at Samford. He moved from Samford to Southern Mississippi and coached the receivers for three years before coming to Tallahassee. Jeff is married to the former Cindi Smith and they have five children, Haley, Hunter, T.J., Robert and Julia Elizabeth.

hen 27-year assistant coach Jim Gladden moved into a different role in athletics, Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden, using his own blueprint for success, wasted no time elevating graduate assistant Jody Allen into a full-time role as defensive ends coach. The move was not as extreme as it might look as Allen is a very experienced assistant at the Division IA level and with the Canadian Football League. “I prefer to hire from within when I can as I did in the past with Jim Gladden, Brad Scott, Mark Richt, John Lilly and others,” said Bowden. “They all came up through our ranks. Jody Allen will coach our defensive ends and he has shown in his two years here that he is more than capable. I’ve given him responsibilities here that I had never left to a graduate assistant before. He did a superb job last season and our defensive staff all endorsed him strongly.” Allen, 41, was a graduate assistant on the FSU staff for the last two seasons working with the defensive backs and brings 10 years of experience on the Division IA level. A 1983 graduate of Valdosta State University, Allen was an assistant there in 1999. He coached at Griffin (GA) High School in 1998 and Murray State University in 1997. Prior to those stints, he coached two years in the Canadian Football League with the Shreveport Pirates in 1995 and BC Lions in 1994. He was wide receivers coach at Arkansas State in 1992 and in 1993 became the offensive coordinator. He coached receivers and running backs at Ole Miss during his tenure there from 1987-91. Allen was a graduate assistant at Alabama in 1984-85 before coaching the wide receivers for the Crimson Tide in 1986.

lorida State head coach Bobby Bowden wasted little time following FSU’s National Championship game in the 2001 Orange Bowl to name Daryl Dickey to his coaching staff to handle the quarterbacks. Dickey filled the position vacated by Mark Richt who was named head coach at Georgia in December of 2000. However, coaching the position would be quite different in 2001 as Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke was giving up the helm of the FSU program for the first time in four years and Dickey’s first stint at FSU would include coaching the first redshirt freshman to start at quarterback for the ‘Noles since Bobby Bowden’s arrival in 1976. Dickey’s work with rookie Chris Rix was truly remarkable as Rix finished the year as the ACC’s Rookie of the Year, the National Offensive Rookie of the Year and the nation’s eighth-rated passer. “I felt ever since Daryl left here in 1990 that if I ever lost Mark (Richt), Daryl Dickey would be the first person I would try to hire to replace him,” said Bowden. “He coached Peter Tom (Willis) here in 1989 and he broke nearly all of our passing records in that year. I had three people on a short list when the job came open and Daryl was at the top.” Dickey, 40, came to FSU after four seasons as the head coach at Presbyterian College in South Carolina. The 2000 season, Dickey’s last as head coach, was a special one for the Blue Hose as they posted an 8-2 record and finished second in the Atlantic Conference. It marked the second time in three years that a Dickeyled Blue Hose team finished second in the
52 FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
league regular season and posted an eightwin season. The overall record in 2000 was the best for a Blue Hose squad since 1979 when PC finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the NAIA and posted an 11-2 record. Dickey’s 1999 and 2000 teams provided the best two-year span in football (15-6) for the Blue Hose since the 1978-79 seasons. Presbyterian finished 74 in 1999, 8-3 in 1998 and 5-6 in Dickey’s first season with the Blue Hose (1997). A Tennessee graduate, Dickey quarterbacked the Volunteers who finished 9-1-2 during his senior season in the fall of 1985. He led the Southeastern Conference in passing efficiency that year and the Vols were unbeaten in the seven games that he started. He was named Most Valuable Player of the 1986 Sugar Bowl when he led the Vols to a 35-7 win over Miami. After a brief stint with the San Diego Chargers in the NFL and the Memphis Showboats in the USFL, Dickey returned to Knoxville to serve as a graduate assistant coach for the Volunteers. He was assistant quarterback coach at Tennessee before being named a volunteer assistant at Florida State. During his stint with the Seminoles, Dickey helped guide quarterback Peter Tom Willis to the seventh-best total offense ranking in the nation during the 1989 season as Willis passed for 3,124 yards and 20 touchdowns. Dickey served as quarterbacks coach at Kentucky from 1990-93 and then was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Wildcats, a position he held for another two years. Three of Dickey’s quarterbacks at Kentucky — Pookie Jones,
Freddie Maggard, and Brad Smith all finished their careers ranked among the top 15 passers in Wildcat history. Jones finished with the second-best career total offensive numbers in school history. From March of 1995 until December of 1996, Dickey served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Georgia Southern, a Division I-AA member of the Southern Conference. Dickey is the son of former Tennessee and Florida head coach, and current Director of Athletics at Tennessee Doug Dickey. He played high school football at Buchholz High in Gainesville, Fla., but graduated from Fairview High in Boulder, Colo. He is married to the former Kendall George and they have three children — Karis (12), Dallas James (9) and Drew (7).

n eight years as an assistant coach at Florida State, Odell Haggins has proven that the enthusiasm and dedication he displayed as an All-American noseguard for theSeminoleshastransferredintogreatsuccess as a football coach. Haggins has made FSU’s interior defensive front one of the most feared units in all of college football. This season, Haggins and defensive ends coach Jody Allen welcome back all four returningstartersandjuniorsDarnellDockett and Jeff Womble will be the backbone of the defensive unit. Haggins came to FSU in 1994 when Brad Scott was named head coach at South CarolinaandtookfellowFSUassistantsJohn Eason and Wally Burnham with him. When the decision came as to who would be hired to complete the “new” FSU coaching staff, Bowden turned to one of his own and selected Haggins. The decision has proven fruitful for both Florida State and Haggins. “I’m really enjoy coaching the defensive tackles,” said Haggins. “I feel like I’ve come home. I know what it takes to be successful at the position and I know how important the defensive line is in the overall scheme. I’ve learned techniques that will work at the NFL level and those same principles should make you a better college player.” A native of Bartow, Fla., Haggins was a four-year letterwinner and popular team leader for the Seminoles from 1986-89. He earned Kodak, Walter Camp and UPI AllAmerica honors as a senior in 1989 and was a second team Associated Press selection as a junior in 1988. The 1987 FSU team finished the season ranked second in the nation and the Seminoles were third in the country in his junior and senior seasons. Following his standout collegiate career, Haggins was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers and played two years, earning a Super Bowl ring in 1990. He spent the 1991 season with the Buffalo Bills. Haggins earned a degree in criminology from Florida State and was working with the state attorney’s office in Jacksonville before he joined the FSU staff. He worked with the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders while with the state attorney and continues to make working with young people a priority. Haggins is married to the former Robin Kimbrough.

immy Heggins begins his ninth season as offensive line coach at Florida State and his 17th overall on the FSU staff in 2002. The Seminole offensive front is expected to be a strength in 2002 as all five starters return including All-America candidate Brett Williams at offensive tackle. Heggins was an outstanding noseguard on Bobby Bowden’s FSU teams in the mid 70s. He returned to his alma mater in 1986 as a full-time coach after a year at Southwestern Louisiana where he coached USL’s defensive ends. Prior to his stint with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Heggins was running backs coach at Eastern Michigan for two years and at Western Illinois for a year. He coached the tight ends and then the noseguards at FSU prior to taking over the offensive line duties in 1994. The Seminoles have produced a number of NFL caliber offensive linemen and have had two offensive linemen selected in the first round of the NFL draft over the last four years. Seattle selected Walter Jones No. 6 overall four years ago and he started for the Seahawks as a rookie. Tra Thomas was selected with the 11th pick of the 1999 draft by Philadephia. In fact, FSU’s 1996 offensive line produced three NFL players with Clay Shiver starting at center for the Dallas Cowboys in 1997 and Todd Fordham signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In addition to his offensive line proteges, Heggins coaches a pair of tight ends who enjoyed solid NFL careers in Reggie Johnson and Lonnie Johnson. Heggins’ challenge in 2002 is in stark contrast to last year. Prior to the 2001 season, FSU returned just two starters on
54 FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
the offensive front (Brett Williams and Montrae Holland). All five starters return for this season although Williams missed some of spring drills after offseason knee surgery.

ne of the most important aspects of any successful athletic depart ment is the strength and conditioning of its student-athletes. When Florida State was faced with their first opening in the position of Director of Strength and Conditioning in 18 years in 2001, the position was considered of the utmost importance. After a national search, Jon Jost was named to the position on February 9, 2001 marking a new era in the training and conditioning of Florida State athletes. Jost, who came to FSU from Southern Methodist University, took over for Dave Van Halanger who had held the position for the previous 18 years before leaving to join Mark Richt’s staff at the University of Georgia. Jost, 34, came to SMU in 1996 via the College of Holy Cross where he was the head strength and conditioning coach for two years. He started his career as a strength and conditioning coach at the University of Nebraska where he served as an assistant for seven years (two years student assistant, five years full time assistant) and earned certification as a strength and conditioning specialist. During that time, Jost worked closely with Boyd Epley, the Nebraska Director of Athletic Performance and founder of the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Jost worked extremely hard his first year to develop staff of experts dedicated to improving athletic performance. He and his staff of six full-time assistant strength coaches and four graduate assistant strength coaches are committed to providing the best athletic performance enhancing program in the nation to FSU athletes. Jost and his staff implement a comprehensive strength and conditioning program designed to reduce the risk of injury and to train the complete athlete. Each program is tailored to each individual athlete and addresses agility, endurance, flexibility, power, speed and strength. The goal of the program is to maximize the on-field performance of each athlete, while reducing the risk of injury. Jost has also been busy with the design of the new Strength and Condi-

Joe Kines, who was head coach at Arkansas in 1992, begins his third year on the Florida State staff where he has coached the linebackers since his arrival. Kines came to Tallahassee after a five-year stint at Georgia. He served as the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator from 1995-98 and as assistant head coach in 1999. He coached the defensive ends while at Georgia. The long association between FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews and Kines, who coached together at Clemson in the late ’70s and at Florida in the early ’80s, has payed great dividends for the Seminoles. FSU’s defensive staff had their work cut out for them entering the 2001 season with just four starters returning. Kines’ job was especially tough last year as he lost two of his three starting

ohn Lilly, who has established himself as one of the finest recruiting coordinators in the country, begins his eighth season with the Florida State football program in 2002. Lilly is in his fifth year as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator. Lilly was named a full-time assistant coach in January of 1998 and has headed the efforts in recruiting the last four classes at Florida State, which have all been ranked among the nation’s best. His 2001 recruiting class was a near-unanimous choice as the very best in the nation, and this year’s recruiting class is equally as talented. Lilly’s transition from coaching the defensive backfield with Mickey Andrews as a graduate assistant to working with the Seminole tight ends was an easy one. He served as a graduate assistant in 1996 and 1997 under Andrews, after coming to FSU as the defensive videographer in 1995. In 2002, Lilly will have a battle on his hands for the vacant starting position at tight end. Carver Donaldson graduated, leaving veteran Patrick Hughes and sophomore Paul Irons competing for the job. Also hoping to get into the mix will be true freshman Lonnie Davis, who has been ranked among the top three tight end prospects in the country as a high school senior at White High in Jacksonville A 1990 graduate of Guilford College, Lilly was a Dean’s List student all four years while playing quarterback, wide receiver and special teams for the Quakers from 1986-89.

A native of Beckley, W.V., Lilly graduated from Woodrow Wilson High where he played quarterback for one of the state’s top high school programs. Lilly joined the Florida State football family in 1995 after coaching and teaching at Northwest Guilford High in Greensboro, N.C., from 1991-94.

n December of 1988, former Seminole great and 1968 consensus All-American Ron Sellers became the first FSU player inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The Jacksonville, Fla., native owned the NCAA receiving records for over 20 years. From 1966-68, Sellers caught 212 passes for 3,598 yards for Florida State. He averaged 119.9 yards per game and caught passes in a record 30 consecutive games. He had 18 100-yard receiving days and five 200-yard games. He still owns nearly every Florida State receiving record. Sellers caught 13 or more passes in a game seven times during his career. The Seminoles played in three bowl games during the Sellers’ era. A player labeled “can’t play, too fragile” by Coach Bill Peterson at first, Sellers was later called “simply the best college receiver I ever saw.”

ne of the best athletes ever to wear a Florida State uniform, cornerback Deion Sanders won the Jim Thorpe Award as the top defensive back of 1988. Sanders collected the prize after a career which saw him gather 14 career interceptions, not including three in bowl games. In his junior and senior seasons, FSU went 11-1 with a pair of New Year’s Day bowl wins. In 1988, Sanders ranked in the top 10 nationally with five interceptions in nine games. He was the nation’s top punt returner, averaging 15.2 yards per return. The Ft. Myers, Fla., native ranks third on the FSU career interceptions chart and holds most of the school’s punt return records.
n 1991, Terrell Buckley capped the best season ever by a Florida State cornerback by becoming the second Seminole ever to win the Jim Thorpe Award. A junior, Buckley blew away the Florida State record for interceptions with 12 in 1991. He intercepted passes in eight of FSU’s 12 regular season contests to lead the country in pickoffs. Against Michigan in Ann Arbor, his interception and 40-yard return for a touchdown on the game’s first play set the stage for a 51-31 Florida State win. A native of Pascagoula, Miss., Buckley also demolished the Florida State career record with 21 INTs in just three seasons. His 470 career return yards broke an NCAA record that had stood since 1974. Following the year, Buckley entered the NFL draft and was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the fifth pick in the first round.

T
he top player in the nation in 1992, Marvin Jones became the first Seminole to capture two national awards in the same year when he earned both the Butkus Award for linebackers and the Lombardi Award for linemen and linebackers following his junior season. Florida State’s third two-time consensus All-American, Jones tallied 111 tackles and seven tackles for a loss in 1992 while leading the Seminoles to an 11-1 record. He made 10 or more tackles in nine games and finished fourth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy. He finished his career seventh on FSU’s career tackle chart with 369, and third on the all-time list with 28 tackles for loss. A first team All-ACC choice out of Miami, Fla., Florida State tailored its nationally-ranked defense to Jones’ strength in 1992.

C
alling the Butkus Award for linebackers, “the Heisman of the Bad Guys,” FSU inside linebacker Paul McGowan accepted the award from Dick Butkus himself in December of 1987. The 6-1, 230-pound McGowan won the award by a onepoint margin over Ohio State’s Chris Spielman. McGowan won the award based on a senior season in which he totalled 150 tackles, including 97 solo stops and 11 behind the line of scrimmage. He was named to the Associated Press, Sporting News and Football News first team All-America squads. A three-sport star in football, baseball and track at Florida State, Sanders was the fifth pick in the 1989 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons. He became a successful two-sport pro — elected to the Pro Bowl twice in football and has started in centerfield for the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds.

D
efensive end Jamal Reynolds became just the second Florida State player ever to win the Lombardi Award when he was named the nation’s most outstanding lineman/linebacker following his senior year. A consensus AllAmerican following the 2000 season, Reynolds was another in the prominent line of great defensive linemen for the Seminoles that included 1999 Lombardi runner-up selection Corey Simon. Reynolds joins Seminole star Marvin Jones who won the Lombardi in 1992 from his middle linebacker position. Reynolds led the Seminoles in sacks as a senior with 12 and forced four fumbles for a defense that was among the nation’s best in 2000. He finished the year with 58 tackles including 28 unassisted stops and had two safeties on the year. His 23.5 career quarterback sacks ranks fourth all-time at FSU and his 12 sacks as a senior ties him with Ron Simmons (1977) as the fourth best season ever. Reynolds was the first FSU player selected in the 2001 NFL draft when he was taken in the first round by the Green Bay Packers with the 10th pick. Reynolds’ distinction as a consensus AllAmerican puts him in the company of Peter Boulware (1996), Reinard Wilson (1996) and Andre Wadsworth (1997), who also earned the distinction at defensive end.

#58 JAMAL REYNOLDS
Defensive End, 6-4, 254 Aiken, SC (Aiken)
Defensive end Jamal Reynolds became just the second Florida State player ever to win the Lombardi Award when he was named the nation’s most outstanding lineman/linebacker following his senior year. A consensus All-American following the 2000 season, Reynolds was another in the prominent line of great defensive linemen for the Seminoles that included 1999 Lombardi runner-up selection Corey Simon. Reynolds joins Seminole star Marvin Jones who won the Lombardi in 1992 from his middle linebacker position. Reynolds led the Seminoles in sacks as a senior with 12 and forced four fumbles for a defense that was among the nation’s best in 2000. He finished the year with 58 tackles including 28 unassisted stops and had two safeties on the year. His 23.5 career quarterback sacks ranks fourth all-time at FSU and his 12 sacks as a senior ties him with Ron Simmons (1977) as the fourth best season ever. Reynolds was the first FSU player selected in the 2001 NFL draft when he was taken in the first round by the Green Bay Packers with the 10th pick. Reynolds’ distinction as a consensus All-American puts him in the company of Peter Boulware (1996), Reinard Wilson (1996) and Andre Wadsworth (1997), who also earned the distinction at defensive end.
