He got the Akron Zips into a bowl game, against Utah State in Boise, Idaho, for the first time in a DECADE!
After a 1-11 first season when he was stuck mostly with players from two consecutive, previous 1-11 seasons, the former Mountaineer and son of Bobby Bowden went 5-7, 5-7 and 7-5 (the same W-L as WVU this season).
Akron hasn't had a better record than any of Terry's last three seasons since 2005, when it went 7-6.
He has taken a team that was 3-33 (!!!) over 3 seasons to 17-19 over the next 3 seasons.
This is NOT an endorsement for Terry to replace Dana at WVU. This is just spreading the good news about a former Mountaineer.
Terry has won seven national coaching awards and four conference or division titles.
He coached Auburn to an 11-0 season, lost to Peyton Manning in the SEC title game.
His career coaching record is 158-92-2.
The Bowden coaching tree is in good hands.
Good luck in Boise, Terry!
