Thank you for the great memories Coach! Bobby’s son confirmed the news that his father passed away this morning peacefully with family by his side. Bobby was diagnosed with terminal cancer last month. Bobby was behind so many success stories with his time at Florida State. He will be missed and never forgotten.
