Bowden says he'll return to Fla. St.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Bobby Bowden says he'll be back for a 34th season at Florida State.

The 79-year-old Bowden said Friday that details of his new contract are being finalized.

Bowden earns slightly more than $2 million a year. His 382 career wins are one fewer than Penn State's 82-year-old Joe Paterno, who is the winningest coach in major college football.

Florida State was 9-4 in 2008 and finished No. 21 in the final Associated Press poll.
