Terry Bowden's resume gives Akron football hope: Terry Pluto Published: Thursday, December 22, 2011, 8:50 PM Updated: Friday, December 23, 2011, 1:09 AM Terry Pluto, The Plain Dealer By Terry Bowden and Akron? Bowden coaching games in the snow? Bowden recruiting in the Midwest? Bowden as the new head coach of the Akron Zips? It's hard to imagine the 54-year-old Bowden -- son of legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden -- coaching in the Mid-American Conference. That's especially true since other than a brief stop at Salem College in West Virginia (1983-85), all of Bowden's head coaching experience has been in the state of Alabama. But once my choice for the job -- Wayne State coach Paul Winters -- turned down the Zips, I was worried they'd take the same road as the recent past. The minefield was hiring a young assistant who has never been a head coach in high school or a small college. He comes from a major program such as Notre Dame (Rob Ianello) and Pittsburgh (J.D. Brookhart). He seems kind of clueless about the MAC and overwhelmed by the challenge of making the Zips respectable. Wait a minute, didn't Brookhart take the Zips to their only Division I bowl game?
