Glen Ellyn, IL—The Bearing Specialists have enlisted one of football’s favorite sons and a winner in every sense of the word, Terry Bowden, to round out its roster of 2013 Annual Convention speakers on Tuesday evening, May 7th. From outstanding student-athlete, to National Coach of the Year, to one of college football’s leading television and radio personalities, to much sought-after keynote speaker, Terry Bowden knows what it takes to be a success at whatever he does.
At the age of 26, Bowden became the youngest head football coach in America when he was hired by Salem College in Salem, West Virginia. From 1979-82, Bowden was a graduate assistant under his legendary father, Bobby, at Florida State University. He became the first head coach in Division IA history to lead his squad to an undefeated season in his first year at the school (1993). Bowden’s perfect season garnered him numerous Coach of the Year awards, including the Walter Camp, Scripps Howard, Football News, Toyota and the Paul “Bear” Bryant award presented by the Football Writers Association. Bowden’s biggest accomplishments came at Auburn University from 1993 until 1998, where he led the Tigers to an astounding 47-16-1 mark, as well as racking up three post-season appearances (1995 Outback Bowl, 1996 Independence Bowl and the 1997 Peach Bowl). Prior to joining Auburn, Bowden served as head coach at Samford University from 1987-92. While at the helm, Bowden compiled a 46-22-1 record and rejuvenated a Division III non-scholarship program up to a title-contending Division I-AA program.
Bowden’s motivational presentation focused on teamwork and getting everyone “into the game” is sure to leave attendees energized as well as entertained.
