Why not Todd Bowles??

[arge13]

Well respected Coach that many in the NFL community felt got the short end of the stick when he was jettisoned from the Jets.

Outstanding coordinator (proven), and maybe ready to be a successful HC on a second go-round.

Familiarity with the organization and I'm sure he could assemble a staff better than Flores!

 

[Nappy Roots]

Bowles is probably the only defensive coach I would be okay with.

 

[SeasonsMusic]

No he’s already failed once

His coaching staff when he was the HC of the Jets was very ordinary at best. Bowles is a great DC but I just don’t know if he would be the right HC for a team that is looking to build their offense around Tua.

They should be looking to bring in an offensive minded HC who has a proven record of developing young QB’s.

I would love him as a coordinator but as a head coach, he always had that same goofy deer in the headlights look. No thanks!

Can he assemble a quality staff?

 

[terphin]

I’d be ok with him if he could sell his staff, and I’m ok with second time coaches

He is a great example of a guy who is better as a coordinator than he is as a head coach. Leslie Frazier is another good example. Great DCs, but their runs as head coaches were really bad.

Most of the Super Bowl winning coaches are retreads. Your statement ignores this fact.

 

[Beach Bum]

Awe man, do we have to?

I am sure he is a high-character guy with a pleasant personality, but I prefer someone who has a little bit more energy.

Many coaches would fail if they had to coach the Jets. If Bowles learned from Arians, and also working with a super bowl team then that means a lot right now more than ever. We are not going to hire Bowles because he is extreme unproven as a Head coach but that doesn't mean he isn't ready. Bowles should go to College and be a head coach somewhere. Good coaches end up thinking they can fix shitty franchises.

Great DC, a disaster as a HC
Next?

His DC on the Jets was Kacy Rodgers and they are still together in Tampa. I have no issues there.

However after starting with Chan Gailey at OC he churned his OC every year

[Finsup4ever]

Why? Because I want an offensive guy. This league is an offensive driven league. We have defensive pieces in place and maybe we can keep Boyer or bring back Patrick Graham to keep that defense churning.
