Bowden's abrupt exit from Auburn's Football Program nearly 11 years ago left the unabashedly ambitious, ultraconfident coach full of self-doubt.
"I think I suppressed so much depression and just unhappiness," said Bowden, preparing for his 1st season coaching at Division II North Alabama. "You wake up for at least 30-45 minutes every day and say, 'Could I have done something different? How did that happen?'
"It crushed me. I was probably unable to handle that degree of failure to the degree that it crushed me."
It kept the onetime coaching wonder, who won his first 20 games as a major college coach, sidelined for nearly a decade, relegated to the comparatively safe world of TV studios, broadcasting booths and keyboards.
Now he's back. Back in the state where he gained fame and eventually infamy, but far removed from both Auburn and the powerful SEC. Hey,mainly, he's just back coaching. The SEC Rocks!
