Freemanm Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 As we all know, every game next year is going to be like an exhibition game. Young guys will get there chances, but the Jets are most likely going to finish at 5-11 at best, especially with McCown (or Hack or Petty) under center. How does Bowles control the locker room during a losing season and get the players to buy into him as a HC, especially when he demonstrated a clear inability to do so last season? Will there be continued in fighting as the losses mount? Will there still be guys, especially veterans, continuing to give up? Which players can emerge as locker room leaders (not Wilk, obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't have high hopes for Todd Bowles. That said, in terms of controlling the lockeroom; this year should be easier to manage without the ultimate lockerroom dictator. It also helps a bunch of overpaid entitled sh*tbags vets are gone. So it might not even be Todd's work, just a natural thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDL_JET Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Expectations will be quite low so I don't see much trouble happening in the locker room. All things will be fine though when Hack starts throwing bombs to Anderson all day and Fournette destroying defenses. If only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Evaluating a coach IMHO is fairly easy . When they can't manage a game they have been around their entire lives there's a problem. In the two minute drill at the end of a half or the end of a game there are not an infinite number of scenarios and when you can't master that or when you can't adjust to what other teams are showing you there is a major problem and I do not chalk that up to lack of coaching experience ... that's the biggest cop out in all of sports. Some coaches just do not think or process information at the speed the game progresses, and because they don't, they are just not cut out to be the head man.... coordinator sure, but not the Head Coach. Bowles says all the wrong things about the players, how the locker room works and the guy obviously can't manage a game. What else needs to be discussed ?

Tinstar Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 In order to correct answer this question, one must 1st know how does a HC control his locker room ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point and the way to do that is eliminate the problem players and coach competently so the players actually respect you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bowles is far more likely to wind up in the Hospital from stress induced physiological symptoms. The Jets are going to be awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 He'd better. I saw he said something to the effect that being late isn't such a big deal. And he gave a big pass to Sheldon and Mo. He knows how pro football operates behind the scenes a lot better than we do. But we've heard reports that the locker room was a joke and what we saw on the field reflected it. I'm willing to give Bowles another season and I don't think he's a clown. But not sure he can instill discipline he has to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I think if they cut around 26 more players and the remaining players on the team from last year develop CTE with the quickness, then its possible that Todd can reel them all back in. But the key is to dump 26 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH1962 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have more of a chance of going to Iowa, playing baseball with Shoeless Joe Jackson and playing catch with my late father then the Shrimp Boat Captain has of being a successful NFL HC - anywhere.

Gen X Jet Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Can't manage the clock. How can he manage men? Unlike Herm, Mangini and Rex, this slaw jacked idiot won't even get the dopey second team to take him on for the inevitable 2 year swan song.

End of discussion. just curious, since your major description of todd is ass clown moron, would that still describe him if he did everything you wanted him to do, just the way you want him too and the jets still lost.
