"Coach Bowden was the nation's youngest head coach at age 26 when he took over at Auburn and went 11-0 in his first year there," said David Krapf, editor in chief of WorkBoat magazine. "He also made a splash in the broadcasting industry after he left coaching and became one of college football's top studio analysts. I anticipate that his stories on teamwork and leadership will be entertaining and inspiring."

Bowden led Auburn University to three Bowl Championship Series games. He has won several awards, including several for coach of the year. He was named the University of Akron's 27th head coach on Dec. 22, 2011.

Bowden left coaching for a broadcast career from 1998-2009.

He was heard daily on his ESPN Radio Show in Central Florida and weekly on the Coaches Show on Sirius Satellite Radio. He is a former analyst for the National College Football Game of the Week on Westwood One Radio and also was a featured columnist for Yahoo! Sports.

Bowden is the son of the legendary former Florida State University head football coach Bobby Bowden.
