Bowden, Florida State agree on 1-year contract
Bobby Bowden signed a one-year contract Wednesday to coach a 34th season at Florida State, prolonging his duel with Penn State's Joe Paterno to see who will retire as college football's all-time leader in wins.

The school's announcement said Bowden will be paid just under $2.5 million, the same as last year.

"I am glad to get it signed up for another year like I said I would do after each year," Bowden said in a statement. "I appreciate the university's support. We are busy recruiting and looking forward to next season."

Bowden has said many times in recent weeks that he planned to return.

FSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher must replace Bowden by January 2011 or the school will owe him $5 million.
