JetNation Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 By Glenn Naughton Like it or not Jets fans, it appears that head coach Todd Bowles, the man in charge of what has been a historically bad performance from a team that has been historically bad, will in fact return in 2017. If this report from the New York Daily News is true, Woody Johnson hasn’t seen enough bad football out of the Jets this season to prompt him to make a move. Bowles catches a break in what should be his fifth win of the season as the Jets prepare to take on first-round bust EJ Manual and the Buffalo Bills at MetLife this weekend. Bowles, a defensive guru, has seen his team outscored by a total of 154 points this season despite a front-seven that’s loaded with first-round draft picks. Only the Browns and 49ers have a worse points differential at -185 and -169 respectively. Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If this story is true, look for another joke of a season--replete with tons of idiotic decisions by Bowles and his inept coaching staff--next year. Please, dear Odin, let this rumor be untrue. Banish Coach Bowles and his minions to Niflheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadetree Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm fine with it. I think I want him gone for numerous reasons, but I think I'm fine with it. id like to see growth from him and I hope I do. i want Sheldon gone. I want ruthless cuts and a youth movement. I think. Its hard to be rational right now with how much anger I feel over this year, so I preface everything with "I think" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsbb Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Woody Jhonson has never fired a coach with more than one season left on his contract. That is the real reason he will retain him doesn't want to be on the hook for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Well this is disappointing... doubt many people tune In next year unless the offseason make over brings new hope.

JetsFanatic Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm not saying I endorse Woody's decision, but 2 years is not enough to make a change especially winning 10 games the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBowles Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If the plan is to cut all the vets and go very lean next year, I have no problem with this. Let Bowles stay and go 2-14 next year and then start fresh in 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcola Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This team is going to be historically bad next year regardless of the HC. We have holes at bot OTs, C, and Guard if Winters isn't resigned. Our secondary is a disaster. Still no pass rush, and still no QB. Yes there's the draft and free agency. But we will either be old, slow, and injured, or we are going to be an incredibly young and inexperienced. Too many holes to fill in one off-season.

Adoni Beast Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If true...at least we'll be in the running for a top pick in 2018 draft, and should be able to get a good QB prospect. Hopefully we play all young playera next year as well. Let them all get experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be playing a last place schedule and Macc set up the salary structure where he can cut a bunch of guys and bring new ones in. There is a real chance for a rebound next year if we play our cards right. It might be fool's gold though as we followed up 10-6 with this crappy season.

Bleedin Green Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I can't say I'm particularly surprised, especially given that it's only two years in. I wouldn't have been too upset if he were fired, but I'm ok with another year to see how it goes. In terms of it being "historically bad", that is just further evidence of how much Jets fans having nothing more than short-term memories, which is the same reason that we often see laughable praise for former Jets' failures. Don't get me wrong, Bowles and the Jets have certainly sucked this year, but anyone who thinks it's historically bad for this team, clearly hasn't been paying attention. If anything, this season has lots and lots of (not so) good company in Jets' history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've learned in my 50+ years of being a Jets fan is that you can never use the phrase "hitting rock bottom" and the Jets in the same sentence.

We could cut all our aging vets and replace them with also old, higher priced free agents. Short term fix. Gets us competitive (barely) and still won't have a legit QB. This team needs a full rebuild. If the ownership and fans won't tolerate that, then we can continue the the last 6 years in a loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detectivekimble Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It doesn't make much of a difference. The Jets are going to be bad next year and aren't an attractive job right now. They Jets will get the #1 pick and then fire this joker and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets_Win Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 What incentive does Blowes and Mac have for a youth movement and a rebuild year record? Both these guys will be gone next year in that case. Get rid of Blowes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJ37/12 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Its Myers and "changes are not anticipated" means little. I think the silence from Woody says this decision is not made. I believe when the season is over, the powers that be will sit down and discuss the changes that need to be made, ie players and coaching staff and maybe the power structure. Woody to Bowles, " you need to make changes in your staff and from this point forward you answer to Mac". If Bowles balks, hes out. Just my hunch.

FidelioJet Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 There is no coach that will have this team at better than .500 next year...It's time to start over - again. What you look for from Bowles next year is a team better prepared - are they in the right position and are they playing hard. If so he should stay - if not then he'll be gone next year in '18...

David Harris Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 One condition that would make me ok with this is a clear commitment to a full unadulterated rebuild. Cut all the overpaid vets - Revis, Mangold, Gilchrist Sign zero Free Agents over 30 years old. Priorty invest in offensive line (most free agency as draft is weak) to not kill Hackenberg or our top 6 pick QB next season. The problem will be that Bowels and Mac's jobs and future careers will be in the balance and their goals naturally will be self-preservation meaning while nearing the end of their contracts they will be looking to scrape together any short term wins rather than thinking primarily for the long term. As we all know, make no mistake, this is a long term rebuild due to horrible drafting the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitRed Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This was a bad season and he did a bad job. But nobody was calling for his head last year. He gets credit for the good year as well. Year three decided his fate. I'm fine with itSent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
