Legendary Florida State University football coach Bobby Bowden made some controversial comments about players who grow up without fathers.

Bowden was a guest on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike" Wednesday morning to promote his new book, "The Bowden Dynasty." During the segment, Bowden was simply asked what could be found in the book and Bowden went on a long explanation about why he got into coaching, how he wanted to win without cheating, and how he wanted to make his players "better boys."
