Coach Terry Bowden has compiled a career record of 111-53-2 as a head coach and would rank among the top 12 active Division IA head coaches, with an astonishing winning percentage of 68%.  Terry Bowden started his coaching career by building two programs from the ground up.  At 26 years old, the youngest head college football coach in the country, he turned around an 0-9-1 Salem College team by winning the WVIA Conference Championship in just his second season, and then repeating as Conference Champions the next year. 

Bowden moved on to Samford University, a team that had won a total of just six games in their previous three seasons, going 9-1 in his first season, and setting many national records.  He then engineered their move from Division III non-scholarship football all the way to Division I-AA, and within two years was competing for the national championship.

Terry Bowden then became the youngest head college football coach in the country again, when at age 36 he took over at Auburn University.  Winning his first 20 straight games, an astonishing feat in the SEC, Bowden went on to win 73% of his games at Auburn.

After a 10 year career broadcasting college football for ABC, ESPN, and Westwood One, as well as writing for Yahoo! Sports and Rivals.com, Coach Terry Bowden has gone back to his passion – coaching college football.  As the new head coach at the University of North Alabama, Coach Bowden has joined an elite football program with a proven staff, committed to winning championships.
