History
Though the program began in 1947, it went from being just another football team to a national powerhouse when Bobby Bowden became the head coach in 1976. Since that time, the Seminoles won national championships, in 1993 and 1999, appeared in three consecutive BCS Championship Games, from 1999 through 2001, produced two Heisman Trophy winners, Charlie Ward in 1993 and Chris Weinke in 2000, and posted 18 10-win seasons since 1977, including 14 consecutive 10-win seasons spanning from 1987 through 2000. -
All-time 'Noles
In addition to the award-winning exploits of Ward and Weinke during their Heisman campaigns, many great Seminoles have had outstanding professional football careers. This list of greats includes Deion Sanders, Fred Biletnikoff, Warrick Dunn, Terrell Buckley, Derrick Brooks, LeRoy Butler, Peter Boulware, Corey Simon, Brad Johnson, Anquan Boldin and Laverneus Coles. Additional FSU football alumni include current Texas head coach Mack Brown, ESPN College GameDay studio analyst Lee Corso and Emmy Award winning actor Burt Reynolds. In 2008, safety Myron Rolle won a Rhodes Scholarship and may study neurosurgery at the University of Oxford.ESPN.com: Florida State Safety Myron Rolle Wins Rhodes Scholarship -
