"Bobby is the beloved father of Florida State football, but now the children are struggling with the dilemma of how to tell dear old dad that it might be time for him to check into the home for retired icons.

"FSU isn't getting Mark Richt back. Georgia took care of that with a poison pill buyout clause. Bobby Bowden -- and by extension, Jeff -- isn't going anywhere as long as T.K. Wetherell is president.
