MDL_JET Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Bowles still believes the team is headed in the right direction. “We’re going to keep fighting. Obviously, this is going to turn,” he said. “I believe we have a good core group. We just got to eliminate some of the mistakes and some situational football things, and we’re going to be OK.” “He’s been great, he gets us prepared, he’s a good leader,” linebacker Darron Lee told Newsday. “I don’t have one bad thing to say about him. That’s how the league is. I hope he will be here next year. I foresee him being here next year and he’s a great leader, he’s a great head coach.” “He’s the Jets’ head coach,” safety Jamal Adams said. “He’s my head coach and he’s the team’s head coach. There shouldn’t be any discussion who is going to be the head coach. It should be Todd Bowles. There shouldn’t be any indecision about how our coach is coaching us. We got to finish ballgames.” “He does a good job as a head coach,” running back Matt Forte said. “People are going to criticize you. If you’re 9-4 or 10-3, then you would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But we’re mathematically out of the playoffs, and lost a couple of games in a row, then everything is worse.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsbb Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 You're all disregarding this but are forgetting Chris Johnson is a dweeb who wants to be buddies with the players. Reports came out how he is hanging out at the facility a lot and talking to the players one on one. Think about it. He hangs out there all the time palling around you think he wants to be the one responsible to fire their beloved never made the playoffs 5-11 HC? Hell no.

Maxman Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I was told by someone in the know that Bowles rips into the team on the regular. But he will never sell them out publicly. I am being serious about this, it is someone who doesn't work for the team and isn't a beat reporter with an agenda either way. Said Bowles is tough on the guys, just doesn't get into it with the media (for better or worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is a long list of people that are around the team, in sports, and non-sports roles that could provide that kind of insight. I can't say who it is, but it is someone trusted. I thought it was good, because I don't know what Bowles is like behind closed doors. Was glad to hear he is hard on them. Because I want to yell at them 24 x 7 myself.

He's a "players coach", which means he is soft on the players, leading to an undisciplined and lazy team without accountability. You know, the Jets.

Anthony Jet Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Think TB gets a raw deal on here. Think he has done a good job with what he was given, Love how he handles the media also love that his bullsh*t answers get this whole board up in arms. On the other hand he hasn’t done anything that would make me lose any sleep if he was shown the door. I would’ve like to see the young QBs earlier this season but that’s easy to say from the couch and not in the locker room when there are 50 or so professional athletes trying to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well so many people were saying this wasn't the case. Which is why I asked the person the question. I wanted to clarify it more for my own knowledge more than anything else.

I don't care much if he stays or goes as well. The team didn't mail it in today which tells me that this team is still buying what he's selling.
