Of course not, no matter what Tom Dienhart, Rivals.com, and Yahoo! Sports tell you.  The front page of Yahoo! Sports asks if this is Bobby's "Last run."  The story links through to Tom Deinhart making the prediction that this is Bobby's last year at Florida State.  But Tom is just dead wrong, and clearly has not been paying attention.

As Tom points out, if Jimbo Fisher doesn't become the head coach by the contractually obligated time, then FSU will have to pay him $5 million.  But that does not occur until January of 2011.  That would give Bobby not only this season, but next season as well.  And then there are the Bobby Bowden interviews.

Bobby Bowden told Paul Newberry of the Associated Press that “I’m sure hoping we can have a great year or a couple of great years before I leave here.”  That certainly indicates that he isn't planning on leaving after this year.

But more notably, Bobby Bowden told a press conference a couple of weeks ago that he wants another Chamionship before he retires.  Furthermore, he said that the 2009 team is too young, but "The good thing is they're back another year," and he conceded that he would not have a team good enough to win the National Championship until 2010.  

So Tom please explain agin why you think this is Bobby's last season.  I mean if you look at the facts it just doesn't make any sense.
1)  The school isn't contractually obligated to make Jimbo Fisher the head coach until after the 2010 season.
2)  Bobby has said he wants another National title.
3)  Bobby conceded that the 2009 team won't be good enough.
4)  Bobby thinks the 2010 team will be good enough.

From all the evidence, it seems much more likely that Bobby would retire after the 2010 season (in other words after next year) than after this season.  So unless the Noles win the National Championship this year, or Bobby suffers some kind of illness or other problem or emergency, expect him to be back at Florida State at least through 2010.
