NEED TO KNOW
  • Former Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden was friends with Joe Paterno for 50 years

Former Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden is one of the winningest coaches in college football history, and he was also Joe Paterno's friend for 50 years.

Bowden told HLN's Ryan Smith that he was shocked about what he read in the Freeh report.

"It was like a nightmare -- you wonder when you’re going to wake up and find this didn’t happen," he told HLN's Evening Express. "This is not Joe. This is not the Joe I know."

Check out the video to hear why Bowden says Paterno's statue, which stands outside Penn State's football stadium, needs to be taken down.
