Although Terry Bowden's bright
future is firmly planted in network
television, it all began walking the
sidelines as a head football coach.
As a college football coach, Bowden
was enormously successful, compiling
a 15 year record of 111-53-2 and an
impressive winning percentage of 68
percent. As head coach of the Auburn
Tigers, he won 73 percent of his
games and posted the best opening
five-year run of any head football
coach in school history.
Prior to becoming head football
coach at Auburn, Bowden built two
programs from the ground up as head
coach at Salem College and Samford
University. As the nation's youngest
head coach at age 26, it didn't take
long for winning to become Terry
Bowden's trademark. At Salem, he
inherited a football program which
had gone 0-9-1 the year before, but
he won. Salem won the WVIA
Conference Championship, its second
in 80 years, in Bowden's second
season. It was the first of two
straight championships for Bowden
and Salem. He won 19 of his last 25
games, led the nation in offense
both years and played in the NAIA
national playoffs both years.
Bowden swept virtually every
national coach of the year award in
his rookie season including Walter
Camp, Scripps Howard, Football News,
Toyota and the Paul "Bear" Bryant
Award presented by the Football
Writers Association. He was again a
finalist following his second season
at Auburn. By the end of his second
season on the Plains, the Tigers had
reeled off 20 straight wins, an
Auburn record. Also during his helm
at Auburn, Bowden became the first
college coach in 50 years to win his
100th career game by his 40th
birthday.
