I've seen where Terry has said it's pancreatic and it won't be too long: he's in that "let's make him as comfortable as possible" stage.

He's now taken leave to be with his dad. This is a sad situation. God bless this family.

Rock Mullaney: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the warm sun shine on your face. May the soft rain fall on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.

October 19 will be three years after my Dad's passing with pancreatic cancer. He had a six month prognosis and got a good three years out of it, camping, traveling with my mom, and winning fishing tournaments with periodic setbacks. My Mother in-law passed from it, and my brother in-law's dad passed with it. You rarely know you have it until it's too late, and it's so slow growing it catches many in their 60's and 70's.

I hate to see him gone. Never been a fsu fan but always been a fan of Coach Bowden. I firmly believe he is a genuinely good human being. I pray for his comfort and comfort for his family

Miami wouldn't be Miami.
FSU wouldn't be FSU.

And each has his own little niche in Alabama football history.

Tough seeing a guy you spent your entire childhood roaming the sidelines of a national team pass. Even tougher when you had a personal experience as a younger kid as well. Good man and glad I had the chance to watch him.

RIP Coach.
