Bowden admits to wanting the record

I sort of always thought this was the case, but it's interesting that he came out and admitted it.

Q: But you do want the record, right? You do want to retire as the all-time winner in Division I-A.

A: It's one thing I never lose a minute's sleep over. But yeah, I would like to be the guy who won more games because there's nobody behind us. Once one of us sets the record, it's going to stand for a long time. Jimbo was introducing me at one of the booster meetings and pointed out that if he coached 37 years and won 10 games a year, he would still be behind me. I guess that puts it into perspective.

Why wouldn't he want the record? Seems like a no brainer to me.
