Alright, so I was kinda curious about this football coach, Terry Bowden. I mean, the guy’s been around forever, right? I found some things about him and wanted to know how old he is. Here’s what I did.
First, I just hit up the usual, you know, Wikipedia. It’s got almost everything. Typed in “Terry Bowden” and bam, there’s his page. Okay, so it says he’s an American college football coach. And that he was coaching at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) until recently, and it says he was born in 1956, but it doesn’t say how old he is right now. I gotta do some math.
Then, I started to check some other sports pages. One of them mentioned that he played college football as a running back at West Virginia, back in 1977 and 1978. Another page, it says Terry Bowden won’t be returning as head coach at ULM next season. Well, that’s a bummer for him, I guess.
I dug a little deeper and saw that his full name is Terry Wilson Bowden. Not that it matters much for his age, but it’s a little detail about him. Another thing I found, the resurgence of the ULM football program began on December 23, 2020. I guess that’s when he started turning things around there.
Then I saw the news, that he’s actually out as the head coach at ULM after three seasons. It was just announced, like, on Sunday. And get this, they’re saying he’s 67. But I have already known that he was born in 1956, so that checks out.
One thing I read said that Bowden, 67, went 10-26 overall and 5-19 in Sun Belt play. ULM went 2-10 this season, which ended Saturday with a 52-21 loss to Louisiana. It’s a tough run, but it happens. I also found a more specific birthday for him, February 25, 1956. So, yeah, that confirms he’s 67 years old, at least for now.
So, to wrap it up, I started with a simple question: How old is Terry Bowden?
- I scoured through Wikipedia and several sports news sites.
- I found out he was born on February 25, 1956.
- I confirmed his age as 67 through recent news about him leaving ULM.
It was interesting to piece together his career and figure out his age. He’s had quite a run in college football, that’s for sure. Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Terry Bowden’s age. It’s always fun to follow these rabbit holes and see what you find, right?
